Call Today: 850-527-7265

Almost everyone who purchases or adopts a Yorkie asks one question, “What size will my Yorkie be full grown?”  The real truth is this: There is no proven scientific method for predicting the exact full grown size of a Yorkie.  One of the favorite methods of trying to predict the full grown size of a Yorkie in it’s infancy is the Yorkie puppy growth chart.  Even though the Yorkie puppy growth chart is a good tool, we must be reminded to know that the actual size of your Yorkie, or any other Yorkie, may vary from the information provided by the Yorkie puppy growth chart.  

What If My Yorkie Is Overweight After A Several Months In My Home

Yorkshire Terriers can quickly become overweight if they are not exercising on a regular basis OR eating the right food.  When a Yorkie begins gaining weight it becomes more and more difficult for it to lose weight due to the habits it has accumulated over the past few months or years.  There can be health concerns with dealing with a Yorkie that is overweight.  

How Much Should A Yorkie Weigh

Generally speaking, most Yorkies weigh between 4 and 7 pounds.  That is the standard range set by the American Kennel Club (AKC).  But, it is best to know that many Yorkies will weigh less or more than the standard weight range due to a myriad of factors.  A Yorkie’s growth rate is certainly influenced by overall health, genetics and environment, including, but not limited to diet, sleeping and exercise habits.  Other than a growth chart, some calculate the growth of a Yorkie at 3 months by doubling the weight at 3 months and adding a half pound.  Some Yorkies are larger Yorkies ranging from 10-15 pounds.  This does not mean that a 10-15 pound Yorkie weighs too much or in unhealthy.  A Yorkie owner’s Veterninarian will provide information on the weight and health of your Yorkie.
