Some people will tell you Yorkies don't swim. Well, they do! All of mine swim. You have to introduce them when they are young. We do it very slowly. We start with a pool with just a little water in it - maybe an inch. Then let them play and have fun. Gradually over a week or two, we add more water until they are not afraid. The swimming will come naturally - we did not have to show them. Just let them figure it out slowly and now they JUMP into the water.
In general, smaller breeds live longer than larger breeds.

True. The oldest recorded dog ever to have lived was an Australian cattle dog named Bluey, who reached 29 years and five months before being put to sleep in 1939. Jack, the Yorkshire Terrier, was 25. That's 117 in dog years!! Average age of yorkies is 13 – 16 years.

I haven't seen such a cute doggie photo for a long time! Never would have thought, that they would take to water like that! @portsidemkt :)

Yorkies generally don't take to water. However, this little guy simply loves playing in it, jumping in it and being like his "big sister" shown here: https://steemit.com/photography/@portsidemkt/the-joy-in-dogs

Thank you - they do vary by color. Many people don't know Yorkies also have a "silver" version.

My sister in law had a silver toned Yorkie! @portidemkt :) Used to get skin rashes, I remember. Such a cute dog too.
