We use this same yorkie puppy growth chart for our teacup yorkie puppies. With teacup yorkies this yorkie growth chart is not very reliable until the puppy is over 12 weeks of age. For the first 12 weeks we look at the chart, but factor in the genetics of the parents and the physical size of the puppy to arrive at an estimated adult weight. If you read the article why dogs stay small you will have a better understanding on why teacups  growth slows as they age.
