Play Pretty Yorkies  

Size will depend on Sire and Dam used at breeding. 

Sizes of litter play a factor in maturity weight.

Offspring History of my adults are a deciding factor in the adult size of their puppies.

Knowing my breeders offspring history and growth rate of newborns has always been my best bet to use in trying to decide maturity weight and size. I can usually come close to guessing adult size after 4 to 5 weeks of age.

My Yorkie babies will range at maturity between 3 1/2 lb to  7 & 8 lb., as do my adults.

Sometimes the entire litter will be very tiny and sometimes much larger. Sometimes there is a good mixture of size in one litter.  ( A lot like Humans wouldn't you say? )

The Yorkie weight chart estimate is also a good tool to use.



Puppies NEED TO SLEEP ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME. Very often in the excitement of having a puppy at home, the puppy gets over stimulated. Educate you family about the needs and habits of the puppy. No high areas, Do not place puppy on the bed, couch or stairs & leave them unattended. Play with puppy on the floor & supervise Everyone with the puppy. It’s like having a human baby!!.

Many puppies experience CARSICKNESS during their car ride home. Let puppy rest & give water. Puppy cannot go outside to the bathroom until they have all the shots. Check with your vet what they need.



Some things to remember about your new Baby Yorkie. They are not fully immunized until they have had all their rounds of puppy shots, usually by the age of 4 months. Be careful where you take your new puppy when you are out and about.

1- Use a carrier when you take your puppy to the vet. and keep him in it until he sees the Dr.
2- Do not let strangers handle your puppy.
3- Do not take your puppy to pet shops or public parks until after your baby has had the ALL puppy shots.
