My ex-grandmother-in-law had two yorkies (little ones) and they lived to be 20 and 21. I have never seen dogs treated as well as she did her babies. And they were very active up until the end. I hope that I am that lucky. Morbid subject, but I am 56 and I have made arrangements in my will (no money, cept insurance) and have named a "guardian" for my babies and set up an amount of mine to be put into trust for their care if something happens to me. I do not want my boys to end up in a rescue or shelter. I discussed it with the person that I wanted as a guardian and she agreed and we put it in writing and I added it to my will. I consider them as my children and I wanted to make sure that they were taken care of.

He wasn't a yorkie but before we got our yorkie in Jan 09 we had a terrier mix that lived 23 years. He was born in Oct 1985 and died in oct 2008. I've never been as sad as i was that day

I know of two that lived to be 19, one belonged to a friend and he out lived two owners. The second was a well known Champion over here. I went to pick a puppy from his breeder and he was there. Spent most of his day asleep in his basket, only waking to eat or awners a call of nature. He did lift his head breifly while we were there but went back to sleep almost immidiatly.

I wonder if there is a correlation between weight & longevity?

Hello.

I am new here to the forum and stumbled across it because I was looking for information on the "oldest living yorkie." I am "triple" checking any sources I can find and diggin up his papers, but if all is correct, he turns 20 this year.

Does anyone have information on this topic.

He eats well, sleeps well, does his natural duties well - but is just having Dog-Hieimers and arthritis. (He is on medicam)

Can anyone give me advice on how to look, claim, declare and so on if this is indeed the case and he is truely the oldest living yorkie?

I'd be embarassed if I somehow was wrong, but am pretty sure I'm correct - hence the help I need.

Thanks so much!

Have you tried googling it?

Sorry I'm not much help. I saw this old thread and wondered what brought it back up and started reading it again.
