I personally know 5 adult yorkies (owned by friends of mine) and of course, my adult is Diva. NONE of the dogs that I know are yappy.  Diva rarely ever barks, unless there is a knock at the door or the evil 

 cat gets in trouble for something and Diva has to back me up by barking like crazy at her! 
Honestly, the only thing I could say  bad about a yorkie is that they may cause diabetes because they are so freakin sweet!!! (my 18 year old daughter told me that and I loved it!) 
Don't let anyone talk you out of getting what you want.
