I just found this site today, and love it. Good info.

I have several questions, and hope someone can help me out.

I am trying to make up my mind what type of puppy to get. My heart is really set on a male Yorkie. I already have a name, "Wrigley" - I think.

I have been getting some negative feedback and would like to know the answers to:

1. I heard these dogs have a big problem with their knees, and other bones,
popping out of place. True?

2. They are hard to housebreak, and even when they are, they will still
urinate inside. True?

3. If an emergency comes up, and I cannot find someone to care for the
dog, and the vet is closed, can I leave the Yorkie in a crate for 24
hours (one night)? Will they urinate/poop in their crate? I would
not make a habit of this, but am just thinking of a worse case scenario.

4. They yap constantly. Especially when company comes.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
