First of all, your puppy is adorable!

Anyways, there are generalized "negatives" that go along with EVERY breed, but when it comes to things like house training, snappiness, yappiness, etc., it really depends on the dog. For example, my first yorkie was very easy to train in obedience, tricks, and house breaking but he can be snippy to some strangers and he's not a huge fan of kids, but he tolerates them. He's a bit snippy because of some things that happened to him as a puppy (looooong story). Our second yorkie is VERY friendly but was very, very hard to train in a lot of things. He came to us knowing how to "sit" on command only half the time. It took me about a year to train him how to "down". Potty training has been almost impossible with him, but once again, he had a really rough start to life, which caused delays in his learning... another long story. My point is, every dog is different. Stay consistent in training, teach him that you are the alpha dog in the pack, take him to obedience classes while he's young, and SOCIALIZE him with everyone and everything.

I'm sure you made the right decision. Puppy raising just takes time, patience, and consistency. These little yorkies are sooooo special. My dogs bring so much joy and laughter in my life and I'm sure yours will too. Just enjoy him! Good luck and congratulations!

Oh also, if you do have any problems now or in the future, you must correct them right away. Taking him to obedience classes will help because you can talk to a trainer. Also, don't be afraid to post here with questions... with this many members on YT, I'm sure there is at least one person, if not several, that's "been there, done that". There is a lot of helpful advice on here :-)
