The best age to get a Yorkshire Terrier fixed is typically between six to twelve months. At this age, they are generally mature enough for surgery, and it can help prevent unwanted behaviors and health issues later on. However, it's essential to consult with your veterinarian, as individual health and development can influence the ideal timing for the procedure.
I would recommend starting to breed a Yorkshire around the age of 2, so their body can fully mature.
At the age of 2 for a Yorkshire terrier, is the best time for breeding, because they are mature, both physically, and emotionally.
Minimum of eight weeks old, they should be weaned by then.
A yorkie should stop growing around the age of 2 1/2 or around the age of 3!
A yorkies will carry for 62 - 64 days deending on the size of the litter and age of the dog
My mother owned a female Yorkshire Terrier in Australia who lived until the age of 24. I'm not aware of any other Yorkies older than 24,and this was in human yearsBilly a Yorkshire Terrier is believed to be the oldest living dog in the world. He is a 22 years old canine , which is equivalent to 154 human years. The current holder of the title with the Guinness World Records is 21 year old kelpie cross Sako from Melbourne, Australia.
On the book animal planet Yorkshire terrier said a healthy yorkie will romp and play for up to 15 years!!! Sometimes yorkies can live to 25 or more. The average is between ten and sixteen.
Yes, a 12-year-old Yorkshire Terrier can go into heat, although it is less common as they age. Typically, female dogs go through heat cycles starting around six months of age, and while many may experience fewer cycles as they get older, it's still possible for an older dog to go into heat. If you're concerned about your dog's health or behavior, it's best to consult a veterinarian for guidance.

Neutering a Yorkshire Terrier can have several benefits, including reducing the risk of certain health issues, preventing unwanted litters, and potentially lowering aggressive behavior. However, the decision to neuter should consider the dog's age, health, and individual temperament. It's best to consult with a veterinarian to discuss the potential risks and benefits specific to your dog. Ultimately, neutering is a personal choice that should align with responsible pet ownership.
it's probably because of old age, but you should take your yorkie to the vet to find out the real cause!
Yorkshire terriers are very small dogs. They are never to weigh more than 7 pounds. When I adopted my three-month-old male Yorkshire Terrier puppy, he was three pounds, and he was the largest one of the four-puppy litter. His mother was seven pounds and his father was five pounds. He is now more than four months old and weighs about five and a half pounds. He is a very healthy puppy and eats well. He is an "average" Yorkshire Terrier puppy at this age, just to give you an example. Ours varies between 4.1 and 4.5 lbs. I'm told that he is on the smaller end of the spectrum
