I have a five month old sweet little yorkie.. does anyone know when he will stop growing.. he is almost as big as my oldest little yorkie. Is there anyway to determine if he is going to get any bigger.. (not that it matters as he is so lovely) but was wondering.

A small dog like a yorkie will usually quit growing at about 9 months.

We had a yorkie and he grew quite big - do you have a vets - my vet offers a junior check up service and when we took our Giant Scnauzer at about a year old they explained how long to keep him on puppy food and how much bigger he would get,
I think I have a fantastic vets - they gave free puppy classes and this free junior clinic. And Borris loves it there now as we made it a happy placve for him - even when he had to have an operation after slashing his paw open on glass - he still loves it!

Generally most dogs are done growing by the end of the fist year; however, some dogs take longer to mature. For instance, I have a boxer and they finish growing in one year, but not become fully mature until year 3.

Most breeds that large will grow until they are around 18 months old, and from then until the age of 2 years, they simply put on weight and muscle.

He will be done very soon. Tiny breeds like Yorkies don't grow much beyond 6 mths.

puppies normally stop growing at about 12 months but it is different with each breed of dog, i have a black lab and she was fully grown at 9 months, so it just depends really, i would that if your puppy is the same size as your other dog now then he probably wont grow much more xxx

Dog's stop growing at about 10-12 months then they start loosing their puppy fat and getting broader and filling out in all the right places.
Enjoy your new puppy you got another friend for life
