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.
Yea I hear people on here say their smaller one is good with their kids but do they really interact with the kids and become a kids dog. Jewels seems afraid to get hurt. Dont get me wrong she would be perfect in an adult household or a household with teen children. Chachi doesnt have a fearful bone in his body and it shows in his ability to interact with children. Its just a 5 lb difference in size but it can make a lot of difference in the personality of a little dog
