We've had Yorkies for about 35 years. Current Bailey will be 15 the end of June. We've had him since he was 5 weeks old. He is so much like our first yorkie that you know it has to be in the breeding..no one was here to teach him these things. Bailey is almost blind and very hard of hearing; however, when our toddler gn or neighbors are over he is like a puppy jumping up and down from furniture. He has always loved to lick the feet of little children. Bailey wears a swim vest outside because he doesn't always remember where he is and has ended up in the pool a couple of times. He's a love but we are now the caregivers for a pretty demanding elder yorkie.
