How long will my Yorkie live?
Yorkie’s tend to live about 12-15 years. It’s often said that the Yorkie’s body will give out before the Yorkie is “ready-to-quit.” They do a lot of things to such a little body in 15 years! Because of their lifespan it’s not uncommon for illnesses to get more frequent and serious as it ages. Arthritis, loss of sight, loss of appetite are just a few of the things you might experience (these things are not unique to just Yorkies – but because of the Yorkies small stature and weight they tend to be more severe and demtrimental). Your Yorkie will continue to love you until its last days we promise!
