I got my Yorkie by default, she was given to me when she was 3 months old. I wasn't looking to add a member to my family at the time but let me tell you she fits in so well it is like she has always been here.
As far as health problems, she hasn't had any yet and hopefully will not. She is now 6 months old (almost) has been through all her shots and we are waiting until December to get her spayed.
Potty training has not been easy but honestly it was all a matter of figuring her her schedule and her figuring out that someone will take her outside to do her business. I am not going to try to fool you and say we don't have accidents because we do. Honestly...the accidents are usually my fault, I break the schedule or, am not paying attention.
Why should you want a Yorkie, let me say this is my first but I can tell you some of the traits I love about my dog. She is loyal, funny, spunky, very sweet and thinks the world is hers and we are all visitors.
I wish I could add more animals to my house but not yet, I have a 10 year old rescue cat who deserves to have some peace and quiet (the little the Yorkie allows him). When I am ready I will get another dog and probably a rescue one.
I hope this answers some of you questions on why I have Yorkie.
