Yorkie Poo full grown

A full grown Yorkie Poo usually weighs 5 to 15 pounds and stands 7 to 15 inches at the shoulder. Both parents are small, so this is always a small dog: a Yorkshire Terrier is up to 7 pounds, a Toy Poodle 4 to 6, and a Miniature Poodle 10 to 15.

Fair. Four to five months is the usual time to make this estimate. It is reasonable now, but the range is still wide.

Estimate only. For health questions, ask your vet. Mixed breeds can land outside the range.

In short

Key takeaways

  1. A full grown Yorkie Poo weighs 5 to 15 lb across all its sizes.
  2. No kennel club recognizes the Yorkie Poo, so these are typical ranges built from the parent breeds and a veterinary publisher.
  3. Most of the growing is done by about 10 months.
  4. A curly or doodle coat means regular paid grooming, which is a real yearly cost.
  5. The chart below shows a band, not a line, because individual dogs vary.

We could not find a reputable published range for the Yorkie Poo itself, so this range is built from the three parent breed standards only. It is marked as needing a second source in DATA-REVIEW.md.

Timing

When a Yorkie Poo stops growing

In our figures, a dog in the toy size class has done almost all of its weight gain by about 10 months. After that the weekly gain drops below a quarter of a percent of adult weight, which is slow enough that you will not see it on the scales week to week.

Height finishes earlier than weight. The AKC puts small breeds at full size by 6 to 8 months, medium breeds at around 12 months, and giant breeds at 12 to 18 months, with some very large breeds taking up to 24.

before weekly weight gain drops below a quarter of a percent of adult weight

Variation

Why individual Yorkie Poos differ

Which Poodle was used matters more here than in most crosses, because a Miniature Poodle is more than twice the weight of a Yorkshire Terrier. A Toy Poodle parent gives a 5 to 8 pound dog; a Miniature Poodle parent can double that.

Unlike most mixes on this site, no veterinary publisher we could find prints a Yorkie Poo size range. The figures here come from the parent standards, so treat them as wider than usual.

Running cost

Grooming a Yorkie Poo

A curly or doodle coat is a running cost, and it is worth knowing the figure before you take a puppy home rather than after. The price per groom goes up with the size of the dog.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How big is a Yorkie Poo full grown?
5 to 15 pounds across every size this breed comes in, standing 7 to 15 inches at the shoulder. No registry recognizes this cross, so these are typical ranges rather than a standard.
How can I tell how big my Yorkie Poo puppy will get?
Weigh your puppy and enter its age in the calculator on this page. It is already set to the toy growth curve for this breed, so it works backwards from where your puppy is now rather than from the breed average. Four to six months is when the estimate is most reliable.
How often does a Yorkie Poo need grooming?
A curly or doodle coat needs a groom every 4 to 6 weeks under published guidance. Over a year that adds up, and the grooming cost estimator works out what it comes to for a dog this size.
When does a Yorkie Poo stop growing?
Weight gain slows to almost nothing at around 10 months for a dog in the toy size class. Height finishes earlier than weight in every breed.
How big is a Yorkie Poo full grown?
Usually 5 to 15 pounds. Ask the breeder whether the Poodle parent was a Toy or a Miniature, because that single fact splits the range almost in half.
When is a Yorkie Poo fully grown?
By about ten months for weight. Toy-size dogs do most of their growing in the first eight months.
Does a Yorkie Poo need professional grooming?
Yes. Whichever parent the coat takes after, it keeps growing and needs clipping. Published guidance puts this coat type on a four to six week cycle.

Method

How we calculate this

The adult weight and height come from the sources below. The shape of the growth chart comes from our own calculation on the open data behind a published veterinary growth standard, described on the how we calculate page. The charts are estimates built from a breed range and a population curve, not measurements of this breed.
