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 |
i'm sorry but i have to ask. why is it a matter of urgency to know how fast a yorkie can run ?? |
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? |

thx so much for the explanation...:) |

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 |
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. |
i do not have an answer to your question but i did want to say i am so sorry for your losss |
I clocked Jackson (he runs at full speed next to me while riding a four wheeler- however he's on another side of the fence). He hits 19-20MPH pretty steadily and easily! But he's a big boy at 16lbs. |

This would give a relative reach for their legs. |
It also depends on what part of the bookcase he hit. If it has sharp edges, that would do way more damage or hurt more than hitting the side straight on, only bc I've banged my elbow a few times. Also, the age of the dog as to how developed his bones were. My puppy at 5 months took a bad step off the last step onto a concrete landing and banged his head. He showed neuro signs immediately and that was less than a 6 inch fall, and at a very slow speed. He was rushed to the vet immediately and did survive. Maybe a radar gun like they use for speeders or to clock pitcher's speed in baseball, or just a stopwatch. I could and my Tink is fast, but she may have a hernia so I don't want to push her... if she's okay after her vet appt on Wednesday, I'll get a time/distance for you. |

I don't know if Jackson's running speed compares, since he is outdoors when doing so. He's never ran at that speed indoors. But to answer your question, Gail, Jackson is about 12 inches from floor to shoulder, 15 inches long and has a 18.5" girth last time I measured. And he's not a mix. Well as far as I know. He resembles no other breed but a Yorkie or a Silky, both closely related. He's just a bigger boy. |
It is just so sad reading this thread :(. When we lose our little ones whether to accident or illness it seems we always are so full of wondering why and what if. I know when we lost Loleta even though the vet said her little heart just gave out and she had been diagnosed with a bad murmer the month before it seemed she went downhill so fast that every thing imaginable went through my head. I feel so bad for the OP that she is going through this. Prayers going up for her. |
It would also do if you clock the time during a distance of 5 or 6 meters (10 or 20 feets) |
