Where's the old doggies?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JesStang · 08-01-2008, 12:37 PM

I see all the threads about little puppies and "1 year old birthday parties".
My Yorkie is gonna be 7 years old next month!!

But he still runs around and plays just like a puppy!

(Excuse his messy hair, he doesn't like it "done").

Where are all the old pups??

yorkiesmiles · 08-01-2008, 01:00 PM

My 2 are working their way towards 7. Bubba will be 7 on Oct. 2 and Roxy will be 7 on Dec. 2.

There is a thread about the oldest yorkie on YT - I believe she is 16.

But yes, it does seem like many of the folks who post have youngsters. But mine still think they are puppies too

yorkieusa · 08-01-2008, 01:03 PM

There are a number of them on here. I guess they don't post as much as those who have "youngsters".

The years pass quickly, don't they?

I hope Tristan has a very happy 7th birthday.

Oh! By the way, he's very, very cute!

Buddy is 4 1/2 and will be 5 in Jan 09.
I can't believe where the time went.
Your baby is so cute.
I think they just stay puppies forever

or a least act like one.

We have three seniors here along with 2 young ones. Molly will be 12 in October and her two kids Casie and Button will be 10 in November. The years pass much too quickly! The good thing is that yorkies don't show their age like other breeds. Molly still looks beautiful! At her last vet check they couldn't believe she was 11 (at the time). We love all our fur babies and cherish each year with them.

My Princess Suki Sue will be 6 in September.

ANGELA GORE · 08-01-2008, 01:28 PM

I have a 13 year old and a 3 year old. The eldest has always been grouchy so she has always acted old, she never played with toys or her sister maybe that is why she is so healthy for her age (she never wore herself out by playing!!

). Emma, the youngest, plays all day with the cat, her toys and anyone around. I have had 3 Yorkies, all with very different temperaments, also one has curly difficult hair and othe other beautiful long silky hair. I dread the day that they have to "go" and just try to enjoy and love them every day. Is the oldest Yorky only 16??

grandmatoall · 08-01-2008, 01:34 PM

He sure doesn't look like he is 7. He looks like a young pup. HAPPY 7th Birthday.. may you have many more wonderful birthdays.

My oldest is only 3 she will be 4 in Sept.
I had a terrier that was 16 when she passed. (Not Yorkie)

I love all of the stories of how they still act young at an older age. Wonderful.

CathRich · 08-01-2008, 01:38 PM

I would also like to know the age of the oldest yorkie. I would love for ours to make it to 16.

JesStang · 08-01-2008, 01:52 PM

Aww thanks everyone!!

He definitely still acts like a puppy! He could play tug-a-rope w/ me for HOURS!!!! And he still runs around w/ our 11-year-old (

) Poodle! They love being outside!

jeanietoo · 08-01-2008, 02:57 PM

My oldest yorkie was a bit past 16 years when she died Dec 2006. I have a 12 year old, and 11 year old a 2 1/2 year old and a 15 mo old now

Yorkieluv · 08-01-2008, 02:59 PM

My yorkie is 4 yrs old. Still a young one, but older than a lot of the babies on this forum.

yorkiesmiles · 08-01-2008, 03:17 PM
