According to the breed standards, as specified by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Yorkshire should weigh around 7 pounds and measure between 7 and 8 inches.
The teacup Yorkie, a downsized variation of the standard Yorkshire terrier, appears smaller. It would weigh around 2-4 lbs and have a height of approximately 5-7 inches.
It depends from one dog to the other, and many factors come into play, like the dog’s overall health and the diet he gets. However, most of them attain maturity by reaching ten months of age. In fact, by their first birthday, almost all of the Yorkies would have gained their adult height and weight.
