I agree that a yorkie is not the best choice for a elderly person. my father , who is 76yr old has a hard time coming over because Suzi is all over him , very hyper a can't settle down. She even accidently scratched him , and was bleeding !
I have to put Suzi in a different room now when he comes to visit. I have a shih tzu who is AKC , and totally laid back .. The difference between the two is very remarkable. I would look for a laid back , easy going dog , either as a rescue , or at your local animal shelter.
