Quite a few of them are very hard to house train.
Some do well with crate training and a few decide that it is just fine to potty on themselves in there. They can be yappy if not trained. They can be very fragile and one wrong jump off the couch, etc. could mean a broken neck, so they do need to be watched closely. Learning to groom at home would save you a lot of money.
Yorkies are prone to periodontal disease, liver shunt, hypoglycemia, luxating patella, legg calve perthes, possible kidney issues later in life, pancreatitis, etc. but all breeds have their issues. Just go with a great breeder and brush teeth regularly.
