hey guys , iv had alot of cats in the past, and im ready to move onto a dog! I love in an apartment with my parents, im still in high school.. i really want a yorkie. i'v done my research ( past couple months) and iv decided yorkies are the perfect dog for me, play full, get along with my 2 cats . and are live and energetic dogs.

NOW !! iv heard there very fragile, so im afraid if my 1 year old kitty will want to play with him something might happen. can anyone reassure me its gona be okay =P

the land lord dosent allow dogs here, but im sure i can convince her since a yorkie is smaller then a grown fat cat =P ( almost typed in car LOL!! )

I have some questions, iv been reading that they do not need ALOT of exercise since they run around your house all hyper and everything so how long should i walk a yorkie? Im thinking of geting one whos either young, or medium, im thinking somewhere in 1 year mark, so there trained not to pee all over the beds etc etc.

iv also read that they bark alot? is that true ? i hope not =\

any other personal tips you guys have or anything like that would be helpfull too!!

THX!!
