I have had several types of dog breeds growing up but I have always wanted a yorkie! They seem adorable and I want a cuddle buddy as my boyfriend (who I have just become engaged to) works nights. I really am uneducated as of how yorkies are as pets and so is my boyfriend as he has always had large dogs and we currently have Brandy, a female german shepherd.

I need help on what I can say to my boyfriend to convince him to let me get a yorkie! His mom has Rocky, a 5 year old male yorkie, who my boyfriend claims has a very hard time not going to the bathroom in the house and is much more difficult to train and properly take care of then say Brandy, his german shepherd (I will admit that he has trained Brandy so well and she is so smart that she seems more like a human than a dog!).

How difficult is it to potty train a yorkie and what is a good amount of time that needs to be spent with a yorkie each day to give a proper amount of love and attention?
