Use this Yorkie weight chart in kg and lb to compare Yorkshire Terrier puppy weight by age, 4-month and 6-month checkpoints, full-grown size, and calculator estimates. Yorkies are tiny but intense: brave, bright, and easy to overfeed by accident. Because there is no separate teacup or miniature standard, read every number beside frequent puppy meals, dental comfort, trachea-safe handling, coat-hidden ribs, warmth, energy, and the warning signs that matter when one ounce is meaningful.
For Yorkies, weight tracking is measured in small details: meals, ounces, teeth, warmth, and energy.

Quick answers
Use these answers when you need the practical version first for Yorkie weight chart, Yorkshire Terrier size chart, weight calculator, kg range, 4-month and 6-month puppy weights, full-grown size, and teacup Yorkie questions. A Yorkshire Terrier's healthiest weight depends on frame, rib feel, waist, muscle, coat length, meal timing, dental comfort, knee comfort, cough or trachea signs, and your veterinarian's body-condition assessment.
Adult range
The AKC and Royal Kennel Club standards cap Yorkshire Terrier weight at 7 lb (3.2 kg). Many healthy pet Yorkies fall around 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg), but lean body condition matters more than trying to make a dog extremely tiny.
kg chart
For kg-first tracking, many healthy adult Yorkies fall around 1.8-3.2 kg. Around 4 months, many are about 1-1.8 kg; around 6 months, many are about 1.4-2.6 kg; and by 10-12 months many are close to adult size.
Calculator
Enter age and current weight, then compare the estimate with the weight chart, repeat tiny weigh-ins, expected adult frame, coat-parted rib feel, appetite, stool, warmth, energy, dental comfort, and your vet's body-condition advice.
4 months
This chart places many 4-month Yorkshire Terrier puppies around 2.2-4 lb (1-1.8 kg). Small differences matter at this size, so use repeat weigh-ins rather than one scale reading.
6 months
This chart places many 6-month Yorkshire Terriers around 3-5.8 lb (1.4-2.6 kg). Read the number with repeat weigh-ins, appetite, stool, energy, warmth, coat-hidden ribs, and dental comfort.
Full grown
Small-breed skeletal growth often finishes earlier than large-breed growth. A full-grown Yorkie is often about 4-7 lb, but some healthy pets are larger, so frame, ribs, waist, muscle, energy, and dental comfort still matter.
Teacup myth
The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America warns that there are no teacup or miniature size divisions. A very tiny puppy needs extra veterinary care, not a smaller marketing label.
Weight by age
This Yorkie puppy weight chart shows common Yorkshire Terrier checkpoints in both pounds and kilograms. It is built for weight chart, growth chart, size chart, and calculator searches, but tiny dogs still need body-condition checks beside the number.
Yorkshire Terriers are toy dogs, and many healthy adults fall around 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg). Use this chart as a planning range, not a race to the smallest size. A healthy Yorkie should have steady energy, a comfortable mouth, a coat that does not hide mats, and ribs you can feel without sharpness.
| Age | Male Weight (lb and kg) | Female Weight (lb and kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 8 weeks | 1.2-2.2 lb (0.5-1 kg) | 1-2 lb (0.45-0.9 kg) |
| 3 months | 1.8-3 lb (0.8-1.4 kg) | 1.6-2.8 lb (0.7-1.3 kg) |
| 4 months | 2.4-4 lb (1.1-1.8 kg) | 2.2-3.6 lb (1-1.6 kg) |
| 5 months | 3-5 lb (1.4-2.3 kg) | 2.6-4.5 lb (1.2-2 kg) |
| 6 months | 3.5-5.8 lb (1.6-2.6 kg) | 3-5.2 lb (1.4-2.4 kg) |
| 8 months | 4-6.5 lb (1.8-2.9 kg) | 3.5-6 lb (1.6-2.7 kg) |
| 10 months | 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg) | 3.8-6.5 lb (1.7-2.9 kg) |
| 12 months | 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg) | 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg) |
| 18 months | 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg) | 4-7 lb (1.8-3.2 kg) |
Maturity
Yorkies usually mature faster than medium and large breeds, and many are close to full-grown size by 10-12 months. Size-chart questions should still be read through the official 7 lb cap, the practical 4-7 lb adult range, and the dog's frame, ribs, waist, muscle, dental comfort, cough, knees, and energy.
Frequent meals, warmth, and close appetite monitoring matter because small puppies have less reserve.
Growth is still active, baby teeth are changing, and coat care starts affecting body checks.
Many Yorkies are close to adult height, though muscle, coat, and confidence still develop.
Adult portions and dental habits become the main tools for keeping condition steady.
Key takeaway
A Yorkie should be small, bright, eating well, and comfortable, not weak, ribby, or underfed.
Growth check
A good Yorkie growth trend shows steady appetite, bright energy, safe handling, and body condition you can confirm under the coat.
Tiny-puppy note
A Yorkie puppy that is not eating, is weak, or seems shaky should be discussed with a veterinarian promptly.
Weight factors
Yorkie weight is shaped by tiny frame size, meal timing, dental comfort, coat care, warmth, activity, and the household treat plan.
A small change can be a meaningful percentage of a Yorkie's body weight.
Young Yorkies often need scheduled small meals to support steady energy.
Small mouths can have retained teeth or dental discomfort that changes appetite.
A harness is often safer than collar pressure if coughing or trachea concerns appear.
Long coat and mats can hide thinness, padding, or skin irritation.
Breed snapshot
Temperament profile
Yorkshire Terrier dogs are usually bold and alert, and their very small frame means even minor routine changes can move the scale.
Daily rhythm
Use short sessions, careful handling, and tiny rewards to avoid overfeeding.

What this means
When to re-check
Re-check a Yorkshire Terrier every 1 to 2 weeks during early growth, and sooner if appetite, meals, or energy change.

Stages
Yorkie growth happens on a tiny scale. Feeding, dental care, warmth, safe handling, and grooming all matter.
Birth - 8 weeks
Puppies depend on breeder care, warmth, and stable weaning before home tracking begins.
2 - 4 months
Small scheduled meals, safe handling, and gentle grooming practice are priorities.
4 - 7 months
Growth continues while dental changes and coat care make appetite and body checks important.
7 - 10 months
The body is close to adult shape for many Yorkies, but weight still needs precise monitoring.
10 - 12 months
Adult portion habits, dental care, and safe activity become the focus.
12+ months
Adult care centers on tiny measured meals, dental care, brushing, harness walks, and regular weigh-ins.
Feeding rules
Young Yorkies often need several tiny meals daily. Ask your vet before reducing meal frequency.
Use a precise scoop or kitchen scale because small errors matter.
Small kibble can fit tiny mouths and make portions easier to manage.
Watch stool, appetite, energy, and skin during any food change.
Hydration and warmth support comfort in a very small dog.
A harness avoids neck pressure and helps protect the trachea during leash work.
Feeding
Yorkie portions depend on age, adult target, food calories, appetite, dental comfort, and body condition under the coat.
Puppy rhythm
Young Yorkies often need frequent small meals to keep energy steady.
Treat rule
Break rewards into tiny pieces or use meal kibble during training.
Mouth check
Dental crowding or retained baby teeth can affect appetite and weight trends.
Daily life

Things to watch
Care
Use precise tiny meals, frequent puppy feeding, and crumb-sized rewards.
Short walks and safe indoor play support condition without overwhelming a delicate frame.
Brush the silky coat often and use grooming time to check ribs, skin, teeth, and nails.
Keep sessions short and confident, using tiny rewards and gentle handling.
Warning signs
Yorkies need precise body checks because long coat and tiny size can hide meaningful changes.
