Default Yorkie Shelter dog vs a Yorkie from a breeder? Please help!

I've been looking at Yorkie rescues for about a month now and finally submitted my app to adopt a yorkie. I currently have a 3 year old yorkie from which I purchased from a reputable breeder; he's just perfect in every way! He's calm, patient, and docile and so smart! Therefore I have high expectations for my second yorkie... I feel that My Jack needs a friend to keep him company when my hubby and I are at work. I've been emailing the foster mom of our potential new family member and she stated that although she's only had her for a week she currently snapped at her when she tried to take a piece of paper out of her mouth! This is the only time she will growl or snap...she did mention that she is currently teaching her not to do that by way of (commanding that she drop the object and rewarding her with another object). Oh and she becomes obsessive when it comes to meal time with other dogs. Other then that I am told that she is a lovable dog who loves to be cuddled yet can be a bit jealous if another dog is near.

My Jack has never had any behavioral problems (other then potty training) so therefore I am a bit hesitant of bringing a rescue yorkie into our home...what are your thoughts on a well bred yorkie vs a rescue yorkie? Please help!
