| How fast can a Yorkie run I need a ducumentation over how fast a Yorkie can run. It do not have to be exact but I want to know if it is, for example faster than 20 miles/h or somthing like that. It is very urgent so i am hoping for a quick answer. |

| I don't know that any of us have figured out how fast our dogs can run... They can be quick, but definitely aren't one of the faster breeds!

| Yorkies are toy dogs.The slowest dogs are usually toy breeds designed as lap dogs, though they can run 5 to 10 mph for short distance When I googled it that is what I found- hope it helps

| They have another post saying their dog passed away and their friend said it was because the dog ran into a bookcase. Sounds like they're trying to figure out how that caused the dog to pass away...if it was running fast enough to cause a fatal collision? Last edited by YorkOfTheShire; 09-10-2012 at 07:56 AM. |

| I don't know how fast they run, but much faster than I could ever run because it is impossible to catch Lola if you don't want to, good luck with getting some answers to the sudden loss of your dog

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | To the OP 20 mph highly unlikely. I posted on your other thread, what you need answers from the vet who did the "necropsy" which is what an autopsy is called on animals. Is/was there evidence of skull weakness at the point of impact, which is I assume where the haemorraging occured? If yes what amount of force if you can estimate this would be necessary for an impact injury to cause bleeding? Secondly was their evidence of bruising, breaks, muscle tears on any of the toes of my Yorkie. Lack of bruising given the time line you described might not be evident as death occured so quickly after injury. But muscle tears or ligamentous sprains would have evidence of injury. I do hope your necropsy was a thorough one.

| I don't know about top running speed, but they can take off pretty fast. And how far from where he was stepped on to the bookcase... I doubt he would reach top speed... Maybe check in the agility forum..

They can move pretty fast when chasing a ball. For very short distances, Zoey who was a fast runner, Razzle could keep up with her, for maybe 10-15 feet, but she had not hit her top speed, so she would pull away from him quite quickly on a straight out run.

| I don't know about how fast a Yorkie can run, mine seem pretty quick, but I was aware of the bookcase incident a while back. Sudden impact...the sudden stop is well documented in car crashes...the damage that can occur to internal organs even at fairly low speeds. As an example that I know for a fact happened...my DH, leaving the bathroom in no particular hurry, stubbed his foot on the doorway threshold and the healthy toenail on his little toe flew off...the threshhold was beside his foot...inches away. He didn't build up much speed in that 1/4 step, nor was he putting force into the action. He wasn't prepared to hit it, but to pass over it and although he was walking a normal walk for that millisecond, the speed, impact, sudden stop, etc. resulted in him losing his toenail immediately. I have pondered that it isn't so much the speed as the impact...the sudden stop...that perhaps "speed" is merely a "modifier" capable of intensifying and/or increasing the amount of "damage" possible before the inertia resolves to normal for all tissues involved.

| It would be very helpfull if you could. Perheps you could mark 5 or 10 meters and make a video of the dog runing with this markings in the background. I have asked a vet about it but she can not know the speed limit for a Yorkie. We need that to know what forces can be reached when it ran into somthing. |
