my boyfriend and i just adopted our first yorkie and we are so excited although we have something stressing us out. my landlord said i am allowed to keep an animal that can't be any bigger than 5 lbs. the breeder we bought kingston from said he wouldn't be any bigger than 4lbs -max 4 1/2. kingston is 11 weeks, 1 day, and he weighs 2.5 lbs. does anyone have idea of how big you think he will be full grown ? and another concern is that i have heard that yorkies need to have the teeth brushed... if so when can i start and how often ? please let me know. thank youu !!!

welcome!!! I dont know how big he will get but their are alot of ppl on here to help you! This is a great place to find any info you need, and the ppl here really care and are amazing! Welcome to this amazing site

as far as teeth brushing i started mine right away. I used the "puppy" toothpast. Starting early help Hank accept it more easily
