I know that you have gotten a TON of responses on this, but I was in the same situation that you were in. People were discouraging me to get a Yorkie! 

 I always loved how cute and tiny they were and everyone kept telling me about how they are such a stubborn little breed, and not good apartment animals, and I have to tell you NONE of the above is true. I have a 2 room apartment, Lillie LOVES it, she loves her crate. It only took me 3 weeks (shes 17 weeks too) to teach her how to sit when I want her to, sit at crossways, go lay in her bed and we're not having a hard time with potty training, she's getting it! I would NEVER have it any other way. Sometimes it baffles me when people put Yorkies over due to their so called 'reputation', but I let all of that go because I wanted to train a dog, I wanted to have a doggie who loves me all the time and wants to be around me! In my eyes, Yorkies are PERFECT little creatures!
