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.
By AKC standards Yorkies will be between 5-7 pounds. We've found our average size of Yorkies to be between 4.5 - 5 pounds. This doesn't mean that your dog can't be a little less or a little more. While a lot about your Yorkie is influenced by it's parents there is also a lot you can do.
