Default How long do Yorkies live?

Trinket is a yorkie mix. I'm wondering how long Yorkies live? I'm considering getting a 'real' yorkie but I don't know much about them. Some people tell me if they're too small, they're always sick and don't live more than 10 years or so. I find that hard to believe. My grandmother's dog is 14 and she weighs in at about 5lbs.
Trinket is a yorkie/jack russell, weighs about 7lbs and is a frisky thing. Would a yorkie be a good match or should I look for something else? People down the road have 2 yorkies and they're timid little things - I find that so unattractive. What is the breed standard - in your personal opnion?
