Yorkies are fearless, and stubborn, they are not just cute little toys, and training them is just as important as it is for bigger dogs. Many people recommend a full grown size of 4 pounds to limit the health concerns, smaller yorkies have a very high predominance with knee problems (Luxating patella) and dental problems, their teeth don't fit their mouths, and they often lose teeth before the age of three. I too recommend the YTCA breeders referral, and talking with a truly experienced breeder who loves the breed will ensure you that the Yorkie is a good fit for you. Here's a small good information from the YTCA website.
