How big will my babydoll get?
A simple weight chart to project your puppy's adult size — and a visual guide to what each size feels like in real life.
Find your puppy's projected adult weight in three quick steps.
- 1Weigh your puppy — use a small kitchen scale or postal scale. Note the result in pounds and ounces (or just decimals).
- 2Find the row for your puppy's current age (in weeks) in the chart below for their breed.
- 3Slide right to the cell closest to your current weight. The column header at the top is the projected adult weight.
These projections are estimates, not promises. Tiny puppies can vary by ±15% — and we don't guarantee adult size in writing because nature has the final say. Use it as a planning guide, not a contract.
What each size actually looks like
From a teacup that fits in your palm to a small companion who walks confidently on a leash — here's the spectrum at a glance.
Teacup & Tiny (under 4 lb)
True lap puppies. Travel-friendly and gentle, but they need extra care around stairs, kids, and other pets. Always supervised.
Toy & Small (4–7 lb)
The traditional Yorkie / Biewer sweet spot. Sturdy enough for family life, tiny enough to come everywhere with you.
Large (7 lb +)
A confident little companion — still a "small dog" by any measure, just with a touch more presence and durability.

About Yorkie sizing
Most Designer Yorkies finish between 4 and 6 lbs — the classic babydoll-faced size families fall in love with. Our Ocean Pearl & Golddust lines can come in slightly smaller; traditional Yorkies sometimes finish at the upper end of the range.
Don't be surprised if your puppy puts on a quick burst between weeks 12–20 and then slows down. That's totally normal.

Same format — find the row for your puppy's age, slide right, look up.
About Biewer sizing
Biewer Terriers tend to finish slightly larger than Yorkies — most Designer Yorkies Biewers settle between 4 and 8 lbs. They carry a denser coat that can make them look bigger than they actually weigh, so it's the scale (not the eye) that tells the real story.
The Biewer's curve flattens a bit later than a Yorkie's — so if your Biewer puppy is still adding ounces at 20+ weeks, that's expected.
| Age/Adult (lbs) | 3 lb | 4 lb | 5 lb | 6 lb | 7 lb | 8 lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 wk | 0.44 | 0.56 | 0.69 | 0.81 | 0.94 | 1.06 |
| 8 wk | 0.75 | 1.00 | 1.25 | 1.50 | 1.75 | 2.00 |
| 10 wk | 1.00 | 1.31 | 1.63 | 1.88 | 2.19 | 2.50 |
| 12 wk | 1.19 | 1.56 | 1.94 | 2.31 | 2.69 | 3.06 |

Getting an accurate read
Use the right scale
A small kitchen or postal scale that reads in ounces is perfect. Vet scales are great too — most clinics will let you stop by and weigh for free.
Weigh consistently
Once a week, same day, same time, on an empty stomach if you can. Babies fluctuate hour to hour — a weekly rhythm smooths out the noise.
Plot the trend, not the day
One light week is normal. Two or three flat or losing weeks with a young puppy is worth a call to your vet — and to us.
Trust the curve, not a single point
Your puppy's row will rarely match a column perfectly — land between two? Their adult weight will likely land between them too. That's how projection charts work.
We chart every baby weekly.
Reach out about any of our available or upcoming puppies and we'll share their current weight, current trajectory, and projected adult size so you can picture your future companion perfectly.
