How long do yorkshire terriers live?

[OliviaGrace]

My 2 yorkies are now 13 years old. Im very frightened of them dying. Does anyone know how long they live?

OliviaGrace - I had 5 Yorkies as I was growing up. 1 lived until 11 (but he always had had a bad heart) the other 4 lived until between 13 and 16. So if they are in good health then you could have another 3 yrs left with them.

aww thats good. I have had them both since I was 7. I am 21 now and the male is so attached to me and me to him. He lies in my arms at night like a baby to go to sleep and doesnt answer back like usual men and babies do! he seems to agree with me all the time too! and u know what, yesterday i did my room up really nice. I let him in after i did it and he went mad, got really excited! I think he liked it lol!

the lad has cataracts and it blind now but i dont think that will decrease his life expectancy will it?
