Welcome! You can find the answers to some of your questions in the library. Any toy breed can be aggressive,but I think that has more to do with individual personality and training. As for potty training,they are not like most dogs. Yorkies are just plain different. I have had several different toy breeds and a large dog over the years and they are just different. There are many that describe their personality as being "more child like". They are very social animals and do not enjoy being left alone for long periods of time,nor should they ever be left unattended in a backyard,fenced or not. There are many stories on the forum of hawks swooping and trying to make off with a small yorkie.
You may wish to do some research to decide if this is truely the type of small dog that would fit into your lifestyle. You can find alot of information about the breed itself in the library here. |
