A well dressed dog doesn't equal a ill-behaved dog. In terms of "yappiness", they are terriers and as such generally speaking will tend to be barkier, than some other breeds. This holds true in my house, with two guard dogs, and one Yorkie. But it is entirely possible to train this characteristic in such a way it works for you and your household.

I do agree that Yorkies have provided me a unique training challenge. I've found my Yorkie to be somewhat stubborn but also determined. He was a bit harder to potty train, and most of that being my fault!.

The library is great resource lots of articles etc. Also look at the training forums, and especially the sick and emergency, where you can get a first hand look at some of the real health problems that can be a part of a Yorkies and their owners lot in life.
