Yes, Yorkies can be potty trained BUT they do take a little longer. I had my Lab fully trained within a couple of weeks. It took 2 months with Bella (my Yorkie) until she was completely potty trained to go outside. I think she would have been trained faster if I hadn't eased up on her too soon. Within the first week she was going to the door and after another week or so I eased up with the crate and started leaving her out for longer periods of time and then she relapsed a little, but it was my fault not hers. I got right back into the routine with the crate and never had another problem. By the time she was 5 months old I stopped using the crate completely and she's done great with no accidents and she's just over a year now. I really believe in crate training. Check the training forum on this site, there's a lot of good information and there's a great article in one of the posts on this. Dog's need to be shown what to do, they have no natural instinct telling them to only potty outside. They learn by repetition, consistency and lots of praise all of which they'll get with crate training. I hope you decide to get your Yorkie, they're worth the extra time it may take
