Seems the smaller yorkies are afraid of children. My 7 lber is terrified of children. He will growl to get kids to back off, but I know he would never hurt anyone. I am careful regardless. I wouldn't want to ever have an accident.
I think a properly trained yorkie will do everything you would like him/her to do. My little one cane to me potty trained at a year old, so I didn't deal with that. But, I did have to switch him to potty pads. It took him 2 weeks to get the concept, and 1 month to be a total pro. They are super smart little stinkers, meaning too smart for their own good and will get themselves into mischief.
I guess I'm the only one here who would allow their yorkie off leash. He has amazing recall, will sit and stay before continuing if I ask him to, and is typically very obedient. But It didn't happen overnight.
