Bear had a visit with the vet yesterday and at 8 months he is weighing in at 4lbs 3oz. How old were your fur babies when they stopped growing?

I don't think we had any real growth after 7-8 months.

Pretty much by 8 months they just put a little more weight on after 1 year of age but no height.

Tias almost a year old and still weighs 5lb 5 as she did a couple of months ago.

By 8 months mine were fully grown. You might get a change of an added ounce or two after their spay/neuter.

I think for each yorkie it may differ a bit. Some yorkies have slow growth rate, whereas others have fast growth spurts.

For Cassi at 1 yr 5 mths, I think she's finally reached her full adult weight at 4.8 lbs. Here was her previous weight when she was at - 18 wks (2.1 lbs), 5 mths (2.3 lbs), 7 mths (2.9 lbs), 1 yr (4.4 lbs), 13 mths (4.5 lbs), 14 mths (4.6 lbs). At 8-9 mths she stopped growing in length and height, however, she was still filling in.

Ori is now almost 9 months old and weighs 2.8 lbs. His previous weight at - 19 wks (1.8 lbs), 6 mths (2.2 lbs), 7 mths (2.4 lbs), 8 mths (2.8 lbs). The breeder indicated the biggest he'll get is 3 lbs. I'm hoping he'll reach 3.8 lbs.
