Yorkshire Terrier Full Grown: Size & Weight
A full-grown Yorkshire Terrier weighs about 4–7 lb and stands roughly 7–8 in tall at the shoulder.
Some breeders advertise a "teacup" Yorkshire Terrier, but there's no official teacup standard: it's just the small end of the breed's normal range, under about 4 lb.
