are a few methods that will give you a good estimate of adult weight. These yorkie puppy growth chart below is a good tool to determine
adult size. In addition always calculate the size of the
puppies parents, size of litter mates, how many were in the litter and paw size.

methods combined together and you can be fairly confident in predicting future adult size.
 While it is impossible to predict a puppy's exact adult weight, a general guideline is to triple a puppy's weight at 8 weeks,
double its weight at 12 weeks of age or use the growth chart below.The growth chart is a good tool, but again your puppy’s
actual size can and probably will vary.
There are many factors such as nutrition and
genetics that contribute to a dog's weight.
 1. Find your puppy's age in the far left column. Weigh your Yorkie puppy and then convert that weight ounces. Remember, 1 lb = 16 oz Example: 2 lbs 4 oz. = (2 x 16) +4 oz = 36 oz. 2.

 Are you wondering how much your Yorkie puppy will weigh once your dog has reached their adult weight? The size of a
Yorkshire Terrier depends mostly on the size of the parents. While
it is not possible to know exactly how much a puppy will
weigh as an
adult, there is a method of calculating an estimate of the Yorkie
puppy's final adult size. In general if you take
the weight at 8 weeks
and multiple this by a factor of 3, it will come close to the dog's full
grown potential. For example:
1 lb. (.45 kg) at 8 weeks x 3 would give you a full grown adult Yorkie of 3 lbs. (1.36 kg).
1.31 lbs. (.59 kg) at 8 weeks x 3 would give you a full grown adult Yorkie of 3.93 lbs. (1.78 kg)
2.12 lbs (.96 kg) at 8 weeks x 3 would give you a full grown adult Yorkie of 6.36 lbs. (2.88 kg)
Your
veterinarian will be able to tell you your puppy's exact weight. You
may also use a kitchen scale at home. A
human adult scale will rarely
show you the tiny differences in ounces, and this is needed to calculate
the dog's adult size.
A Yorkie is done growing
by the 1 year mark. Most Yorkshire Terriers slow down in growth by 9 to
10 months and
usually finish growing completely by 12 months.
