I would definately say to do your research
So many people tend to want this breed because of the cute factor, but there is a lot that goes into having a Yorkie..imo.
1. They are small dogs and can be a lil needy of your attention.
2. Because they're small, you're always having to watch your step.
3. Not easy to potty train/train...
4. More possible health issues with smaller breeds... (from what Ive read)
and thats just a few... If one doesnt have a true love for this breed, I think you can easily get discouraged when they arent making the progress you might hope for... especially because you have bigger dogs, that are much easier... Good luck

I currently have a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever named Serra and a 9 month old German Shepherd named Harley. They are both extremely gentle and very well socalized, so there wouldn't be an issue bringing another dog into the house. My question is thou, I've always had big dogs, and I'm used to big dogs, is it much different with a small dog?
Anyways, any advice or comments would be great. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
