Yesterday, zoey had her vet visit and she weighs 3.4lbs at 11.5 weeks. Does that mean she will be about 7lbs full grown? I did the calculations (16*3+4= 52 ounces), but her future weight surpassed the maximum weight on the chart (which was 6.5lbs)! Im just confused if she's going to be huge for her age.

Ziva weighed 2.75 lbs at 12 weeks, 6 lbs at a year and 7 lbs at 2 years. She is the size of my 16 year old sons feet

so we are happy that she turned out to be a bit bigger!! With the 2 little boys about I think a larger sturdier yorkie would be a good thing.

7lbs isnt bad at all. I just want her to get big enough to go down the stairs on her own! I am tired of carrying her outside to her potty spot.

Not sure, I tried to figure out how much mine would weigh. Tessie was 3 lbs at 13 weeks she is now 12 lbs at 2 years old. Hobbes weighed 6 lbs at 14 weeks he is now 16 lbs at 2 years old. His parents are 7-8 lbs.

Your tired of carrying a 3.4 lb yorkie down your stairs?

She will learn to go up & down the stairs on her own in a few more weeks, if you let her try...and as for her adult weight, charts are not reliable..she could be 10 lbs or she could stop at 7 lbs...Guessing, I say she will be about 9 to 10 lbs...My Bella was 3.5 at 12 weeks, she is almost 3 yrs old now and is 9.9 lbs...but it could go either way...Yorkies come in all sizes and can get as big as 20 lbs...depending on the parents, grandparents and so on...

It's hard to say.

My Riley was 3lbs 5ounces at exactly 12-weeks....and he weighed in last weekend at 8lbs 2ounces.... at 13-months old.

His momma was 8 and his daddy was 4...

It IS very hard to say.

My big boy was 6lbs at 12 weeks old and now 16lbs at 2 1/2 years old.
