Quick Answer. Yorkshire terriers, known as Yorkies, live an average of 12 to 15 years. The small dogs often suffer from health problems including bronchitis, easily upset stomachs, eye infections and tooth decay. They also tend to have spine problems and can easily herniate disks.
Over time, breeders produced a smaller, more beautiful dog that was a household pet and show dog, rather than a rat killer. Average lifespan. Yorkshire Terriers often live for 14 years, but can live up to 16 years of age when cared for properly and given the right food. Average size and weight. The males normally grow to 6kg and stand at 20cm tall and the females are 3kg and 18cm in height.
