Hello All-

I am sure you must get these questions all the time, but I have wanted a Yorkie for a very long time now, and I think there is a chance I might be able to get one in the near future (a friend's dog MIGHT be pregnant). It will be a puppy. However, I have some questions. That is where you all come in

...Would anyone mind helping me out so I can make an informed and wise decision?

Thanks in advance!
Heather

1 - I have a 10-year-old black lab, male. He is the most gentle, sweet boy in the world. How do Yorkies interact with other dogs?

2 - I have two young boys (4 and 6). I am, of course, a bit nervous about getting a small dog due to the fact that I have children, and this puppy will always be around kids. Obviously as a puppy, I am not worried, but I do worry that as it gets older, it will be grumpy, nippy, and not very good with kids. What are your experiences?

3 - Are they easy to train? And what sex is easier to train? I am going to admit that being surrounded by boys, I desperately want a little girl so that I can be a little fru-fru with her

. Sounds silly, I know!!

Thanks again for helping me out! I am loving all the pictures of your babies! So cute!!!!
