Here's some tips and suggestions:
If you live in an apartment or condominium, make sure your building agreement allows you to have pets. Your Yorkie will still need to be taken out to poop daily.
Make sure you do have enough time for a Yorkie. While they are loving and a lot of fun, they need your companionship as well. While Yorkies are very smart animals, they do need to be trained too.
Training can be tedious, but the rewards are definitely worthwhile. It will take some time to train your Yorkie.
Consider your energy level. If you already are tired and warn out (even at nights), taking care of a Yorkie will be quite a chore. You will get a workout with a Yorkie.
Veterinary visits will be required for your Yorkshire Terrier. After the initial vaccinations, your Yorkie still needs an annual checkup. Also, it may need some teeth cleaning.
Should your Yorkie get really sick, it may need some emergency care. This may get costly. Please take medical care into consideration before deciding to pick out a Yorkie or any pet.
It would be best to make sure there is a backup caretaker for your Yorkie in case you get sick or injured or leave your home for business. It would not be in the best interests of your Yorkie to leave one at home for days at a time alone.
Remember that female Yorkies will come "in heat" twice a year. During this time period, they will look for a dog to mate with, and they may bleed up to 15 days at a time. There are "doggy diapers" that you may use to keep your home clean. If your neighborhood has a lot of dogs, pay attention to see what sex they are.
If there are a lot of males, they will be able to smell your female Yorkie in heat. If you have a lot of females in your neighborhood, your male Yorkie may seek the females in heat. When long-haired Yorkies pee, they will often get their long hairs wet. You can clean it with a damp cloth after every walk or pee session.
