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.
Because this breed is so small, when a female is going to be paired with a male, the female should weigh more than the male. This is a key component in aiding the dam to carry well and deliver with the least possibility of complications. The male should be under 4 pounds (1.81 kg) or 4 pounds maximum.The male's parents should be between 4 and 5 pounds (1.81 kg to 2.26 kg). Doing this, will give the female Yorkie a better chance of being able to have her puppies naturally.When these guidelines are not followed, there is a greater chance that the female will need to have a cesarean section.n the flip side, after the age of 5, with 7 being the absolute limit, the female needs to rest. If a person is only planning 1 litter and does so when the dam is 4-5 years old, another litter can be carried safely at age 7.
