Dogs with poor temperments should never be bred, especially if the dog is aggressive. A dog's temperment has both genetic and environmental influences on it. Puppies will genetically inherit temperment from the parents, and the mother's temperment will affect them as well. They may or may not turn out okay with the right socialization. I personally would never buy a puppy if the parents were not friendly and didn't have the attitude a yorkie should have. I have a cat with a terrible temperment, and I sure don't want another pet with one...15 years with a timid, unsocial, or aggressive pet is not enjoyable at all.
