I agree that being tiny does not mean a short life. I know friends that have 2 Yorkies under 4 pounds. One is 11 years old missing a few back teeth and the other is 9 years old no real problems so far. Also at the dog park there is a 16 year old, that weighs 3 or 4 pounds, he is all hair, a Yorkie mix ( maybe with poodle) He is adorable and still runs with my dogs. His lady said the only problem he has had, is an ingrown eyelash twice.
