I had Lucy weighed... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

on Sunday at the vet. She is 16 weeks today and weighs 2lbs. 10 oz. If I follow the growth chart on YT she should be about 4 lbs grown? Does that sound about right?

I'm not sure, but I've heard to take the weight they are at 12 weeks and double it. Jake's weight at 10 weeks was 1 lb. 10 oz. and he was just barely 2 lbs. at 12 weeks. His full grown weight is 4 lbs. 4 oz.

How much do her parents weigh, and grandparents too, if you know?

The chart worked right on for Summer...when we got her she was 1.5 pounds and when she was a little over a year old she wa 3.5 pounds

That sounds right. Good weight for a Yorkie, too.

My little angel is 2.2 at 8 months old. She was a little over a pound at 4 months...

Sounds like you're going to have a really petite girl!

Benji keeps growing like a weed...at this rate he supposed to get up to the average size of 6 or 7 lbs but I think he might even get larger since he is such a hog! My baby might end up being a Teapot Yorkie!

I think Lucy's weight mirrors Jakes at 12 weeks.

Me too....but if Benji grows into one then I should start lifting weights because I am still going to want to hold him as if he were a teacup.

According to the chart, that sounds about right, but you never know. Sometimes they have giant growth spurts, and sometimes they just stop growing. With Wobie, I've stopped trying to guess and I'm just waiting to see what size he ends up.

I've used this also...double the weight at 12 weeks gives a rough estimate. But you do get the strange one. My Munchkin stopped growing at 14 weeks completely. She now weights 1.5 lbs, but very healthy and never had a health problem.
