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! :thumbup: |
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! |
I think maxine is the oldest yorkie didnt she just turn 13? darned if i can remember her daddies SN but i know at 13 shes still bossing Carlo about |

1 Attachment(s) 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! |
My little Hutch was 16 yrs 1 month when he passed away in December '09. We fed him Solid Gold dog food and gave him LOTS of love! :) |
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. :D |
1 Attachment(s) 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. |

My Bailey is 14 yrs :) I cut her cord and cleaned her up, she was a singleton I fell in love the minute I seen her. |
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? |

I had there mum and dad too, i was waiting for my sasha to have her first season so she could then be spayed but my scampi had other ideas and some how opened 2 doors to get to her and 9 weeks later tye and zac were born, tye was 45 mins older than zac. Zac was starved of oxygen when he was born so hes a little slow but such a happy dog, hes nearly 17 now but is not doing to bad for his age, the only problem he has is a chronic eye infection but the meds help with that. Tye had had heart failure for about 3 years and the meds he was on for that in the end damaged his kidneys. He was only ill for 2 weeks with kidney failure, in his 16 years and 8 months thats the only time he was ever ill so i was very lucky with him, zac is the same as the only time he has ever been ill was when he eat a plastic toy when he was a puppy. I do have a rescue yorkie though called brandi shes about 5 and a kind of rescue/secondhand dog :D called suki shes a shih tzu and her owner could no longer keep her so i took her:) |

I was talking to Jimmy when we were looking for a Furbaby, and I brought to his attention that we would still be parents of the Furbaby after our kids graduate from high school (they are 5 and 6). Such a big, yet rewarding commitment. |
When Darcy found us 2 years ago, the vet estimated she was between 10-12. That would make her between 12-14 now. Most of the time, its hard to tell her apart from Baxter and Cooper, she is active, if not a little slower than them :) |
My mom had a yorkie named Mischa that was 17 years old...but sadly he passed away. I guess his little body just pooped out. His mind was as sharp as a tack until the end tho! Strange thing is that he came from a puppy mill,had all kinds of medical problems throughout his long, long life. Once he ate my uncle's blood pressure medicine and had to have his tummy pumped and was in a coma for a day and a half! He ate canned Alpo his whole life and he had all but two of his teeth left! Unbelievably he survived against all the odds! He's been gone 11 years and we still miss him everyday! He was a HOOT!:) |

We lost our little girl, Ashley, in June, one month before she would have been seventeen. We did a lot of preventative care with her and kept her physically and mentally active. She went for daily walks, which kept her heart and lungs strong. I carried her a lot as she got older because I was afraid that it would be too much for her, but I gradually increased the amount she was walking on her own. She was walking at least a mile a time on her own, usually a couple of times a day, up until a few days before she died. When it was too hot out or she seemed tired, I carried her. I took her at least once a week shopping, to a park, or somewhere else so that she had something that was exciting for her other than her walks. She absolutely loved people, especially children and even little babies. I really think the human interactions and mental stimulations helped her. She did have CCD, a doggy Alzheimer's, the last year of her life, but she was still very responsive with my husband and me. Her heart was enlarged, so we had to be careful with anesthesia, but she had regular dentals done, usually once or twice a year, prior to the age of ten. After that, we did dentals two other times due to infections. I strongly believe dentals help to keep them healthy and I think keeping Ashley active helped to keep her happy and mostly healthy. She always had some kibble each day, but I cooked for her also. |
my baby Benji is 15 & half yrs old. He does sleep a lot but can be quite active when he wants to, & is still enjoying life. |
