Out of 80 or so breeds, Yorkies are number 27... I don't think that's too bad. Understanding of New Commands: 15 to 25 repetitions.
Obey First Command: 70% of the time or better

I do think people don't give Yorkies enough credit for all that they can do. But that's humans fault. Yorkies are known as the Holiday Paris Hilton purse dog who can't do anything but look pretty... and thats simply not the case!
