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.
While breed standards do not list height, most Yorkies will grow to be 6-9 inches (15.24 â 22.86 cm); this is measured from the floor to the withers (top of the shoulders). In regard to weight, a Yorkie will grow to be 3 to 7 pounds (1.36 to 3.17 kg).Though this is the breed standard, it is not uncommon for a Yorkshire Terrier to be a bit over this size; he or she may grow to be 8 or even 9 pounds (3.62 or 4.08 kg).n general if you take the weight at 8 weeks and multiple this by a factor of 3, it will come close to the dog's full grown potential. For example: 1 lb. (.45 kg) at 8 weeks x 3 would give you a full grown adult Yorkie of 3 lbs. (1.36 kg). 1.31 lbs.
