| How big will my yorkie be full grown? Hi all! I have a 7 month old yorkshire terrier that weighed 3lbs at our last vet appointment about a week ago. When I got her she was 2lbs at 5 months old. She also had giardia when I got her. How does giardia affect a puppy's growth rate? She is over the giardia now, and has been getting bigger every week since. Does it matter if she is spayed or not spayed? Does anyone know when she will have her first heat? |

| I don't know anything about the issues with giardia but most Yorkies don't grow much more after 7 months. But some do have growth spurts up to 1 year old or more. The typical "rule of thumb" is to double their 12 week old weight and add a pound which worked great for Jackson. He was 6lbs at 12 weeks old and now weighs 12.5lbs at adult weight.

| Thats a really good rule of thumb. I have heard of doubling weight at 12 weeks from a lot of books that I've read also. The only problem is I didn't have her at 12 weeks, so I dont know what to go by. |
