Your Yorkshire terrier may weigh 12 pounds at 6 months old due to a combination of genetics, diet, and overall health. Variations in size among siblings can occur because of differences in their parents' genetics and environmental factors. Additionally, if your puppy has been consuming more food or a richer diet compared to his sisters, this could contribute to his larger size. It’s important to monitor his growth to ensure he remains healthy and within a suitable weight range for the breed.
my 11 months yorkie has today started her first season how long will this last
Yorkshire terriers are very small dogs. They are never to weigh more than 7 pounds. When I adopted my three-month-old male Yorkshire Terrier puppy, he was three pounds, and he was the largest one of the four-puppy litter. His mother was seven pounds and his father was five pounds. He is now more than four months old and weighs about five and a half pounds. He is a very healthy puppy and eats well. He is an "average" Yorkshire Terrier puppy at this age, just to give you an example. Ours varies between 4.1 and 4.5 lbs. I'm told that he is on the smaller end of the spectrum
yes, she is, she should be only 4 pounds, 2 pounds doesnt sound like much, but can be a big problem
A female Yorkshire Terrier typically shows signs of being in heat through behavioral and physical changes. You may notice increased urination, swelling of the vulva, and a bloody discharge. Additionally, she may become more affectionate or restless, and male dogs may show increased interest in her. The heat cycle usually lasts about two to three weeks, occurring approximately every six months.
To keep a long-haired Yorkshire Terrier looking its best, regular grooming is essential. Brush their coat daily to prevent tangles and mats, and trim their hair every 4-6 weeks to maintain a neat appearance. Bathe them every 1-2 months with a gentle dog shampoo, and be sure to clean their ears and trim their nails regularly. Additionally, consider taking them to a professional groomer for a trim and styling every few months to keep their coat in top condition.
