Our Mocha was about 4 lbs & lived to be 15 1/2 years old. Not ONE single health problem - never visited the vet except when she was spayed at 7 mo.!!! Kodah our new Yorkie is 16 weeks & weighs 1 lb 5 oz. - she is healthy & fiesty as ever!!! On the average these dogs with proper care live to be an average of 12 - 15 years! The little ones may be a little more prone to health risks, but that doesn't mean that they WILL have health issues. Love your Yorkie, treat her well & by all means ENJOY your yorkie & don't live in fear! |
