| How long do your Yorkies live? We bought our baby from a great breeder here in the UK. She always keeps a female from each litter, and said that all of her Yorkies have lived to be close to 16 years old so far. I really hope Roxy lives to a long healthy age like that. I've heard so many stories of Yorkies that have had health problems and have their lives cut short. |

| from what i've heard the average life span is 15 years. but i think they can live longer if they don't have serious health issues when they are older. i have a quick question about smaller yorkie life span. if both parents were healthy size. (mom and dad were 5lbs. and 6lbs.-that's ok size right?) but my puppy is only 2.6lbs at 8 months. does that still mean she will be prone to health problems?

| I heard that association with bunnies (rabbits) increases longevity , so Milu should do just fine. Saw the cute photos, so I couldn't resist. At first I wasn't sure if the bunnies were real or not. Plus, if she hasn't had any health issues to date, her parents were healthy, it's another positive indicator. She may break the 3 lb mark by 12 months. Let us know.

i actually adopted another bunny from the rescue because milu loves bunnies so much. and since the two bunnies i have are bonded to each other, i wanted milu to have a bunny that she can bond to.

My Little Man! Donating Member | You know I met this lady at the park and she told me her yorkie lived to 20 years! She said her baby was healthy all her life until she got cancer and died from that.

Daizy stopped putting on weight when she reached 6 months too... She's 10 months now......My sisters stopped growing at 6-7 months as well...so your yorkie could very well be done growing.....if she puts on much more weight...it won't be ALOT! maybe some ounces.

i mean, people usually laugh at me when i say milu is 2.6 lbs. because they think it's silly to get into the 'point something lbs.' but when you are under 5 lbs. that "point something lbs." really makes a big difference!
