I think the housebreaking can be easy or hard with any breed of dog. Depends on the dog, and the owner. Yorkie's just have to pee more because they have smaller bladders. So you will have to get use to letting a Yorkie out more regularly. My Missy is only 10 weeks old and has been consistantly using her pee pad since I got her a 7.5 weeks old. She's only NOT used the pad twice.
Reasons to get a Yorkie are endless. They are happy, spunky, loving, and fully of personality. This is the first one that I've owned, and I can tell that I will forever own a Yorkie now. They really steal your heart with their charming ways.
I think the reason you hear of so many problems is because this is where people come when they need help. Not many people search the internet for a messageboard just to brag about how wonderful their pup is. (Well some do, but you know what I mean). You will always hear more negative than positive. I'm sure if you go to any other breed specific messageboards you will see the same.
Good Luck with your decision! |
