| Who Has The Oldest Yorkie Here? Crazy question, I know, but I was wondering how has the oldest Yorkie here, or who has an older Yorkie? I am definitely up for advice from those that have raised their Furbabies and have extensive experience with them. Good foods, agility and obedience tips, training, etc. Thanks so much!

| Mine is 9, but she really acts very much like she is much younger. Fortunately she is still very active. |

| Two of mine are 10 - they too act like younger dogs. We've done tons of obedience training and they eat home cooked food. We've never done agility - we've got bum knees!

| Correct. She is now 13 years, 3 months. She still acts pretty young, goes for a daily walk, and attacks Carlo with a Vengence when he gets in her space. We hope to have the little boss around for many more years. I know the Yorkie Resuce has a dog named Baby who is 19. Macine has no gray hair, while her younger brother Carlo is as gray as I am! |

| I am very impressed! I hope Khloe lives a long and happy life with us. She's not much of a walker, and only has spurts of playfulness throughout the day. It concerns me that she is a lazy dog. I would assume that exercise would be a good thing with all the knee and joint problems that these dogs can have later on in life. You are have beautiful babies, and are fabulous Yorkie Moms. I want to follow your path. Happy Labor Day Yorkie Moms and Furbabies alike.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Nikki the rescue/rehome I took in in February is guessed to be at least 15 but more likely 16. He was found on the streets 3 years ago so no one really knows. He is pretty deaf, can't see well, has no teeth and sleeps a lot but can run and jump like a puppy when he wants to. Plus he has a really nice coat for his age.

| Does anyone have any advice for a lazy 4 month old puppy? I'm not expecting her to run marathons or anything, but I've never seen such a lazy 4 month old puppy in my life. She probably only has 2 hours of really active play per day. I want her to stay healthy and thriving for a long time. I also appreciate your advice on dog food; is Blue Buffalo small breed puppy food a good choice?

| Peek a Boo is 13 years 9 months old. Rescued at 5 YO from the Humane Society. Has eaten just about every food out there... is currently on Life's Abundance... acts like a puppy. For your baby... I know you've been to the vet, has she been Bile Acid Tested? Maybe run some bloodwork on her.. If her behavior is abnormal in any way... I would have her back to your vet or a second opinion with a different vet. At her age, you don't want to overlook anything. Is she eating and growing properly?
