I love, love, love my hardwood floors!!! Go with hardwood, plus, if you decide to sell one day, hardwood is definately an upgrade. The only problem with hardwood and Yorkies is that you have to make sure the their feet pads and nails are trimed on a regular basis. When Prince's fur gets too long around his feet, he tends to slip. I don't want him to hurt himself, so I get his fur trimmed about once a month. He has never had an accident on the floor, thank goodness, but cleaning the floor is so easy. I dust mop every two days or so, and mop with Murphy's Oil Soap every Friday.
We do have carpet in our bedrooms, but in the kitchen, powder room and living room, it's hardwood.
