There is a growth chart on here...If you go to search and type in growth chart it should bring up some posts...you can find it there...also the rule of thumb is double their weight at 12 weeks. Hope this helps!

Just for a comparison, Cali was 1 lb at 10 weeks and now full grown she is 4 3/4 lbs. She is smaller than she sounds as she has short legs and a little longer back. The breeder thought she would be around 3 lbs. It is hard to determine as they all grow in different spurts. I would think your Oscar would be around 4 lbs but it's just a guess.

=There is a size chart post by admin at the beginning of the general yorkie forum.

Ollie was 1.6 pounds at 8 weeks and she is now just at 4# at 9 months. But I think little boys are more muscular so can be heavier, but not necessarily bigger.

there really is no way to know for sure.
