Breeders who advertise âteacup Yorkiesâ are typically selling dogs that will not exceed 3 pounds and stand no more than 5 or 6 inches tall, which would not be accepted by the AKC. If the breeder is a reputable one with respected breeding practices, then your Yorkie should fall within the 4-7 pound weight range.
One interesting element to note is that the Shih Tzu, in general and per breed standards, is not that much taller than the Yorkie to its left. However, the dog is comparatively much bigger in regard to weight...9-16 pounds compared to 4-7.This is because of the body shape and construction. The Yorkie has a long, straight back. The Shih Tzu is more compact....he has shorter legs and while a shorter back, making for a more compact, almost square dog.ut then at the age of 4 to 5 months, the dog may grow quite a bit. Therefore, unless your Tzu is having eating issues such as refusing to eat, most owners should not be concerned about growth during this time. It is an up and down time...and it is most difficult to know what the ending adult size will be.
