Welcome to YT. Having had a lab rescue-who potty trained himself in less than 1 day- and a yorkie, I will say that the yorkie is absolutely, positively a nightmare to potty train. I will also never be without a yorkie ever again. They are the most loving, fun, entertaining dogs on the planet. There is never a dull moment, as Huey is always doing something that cracks us up. If you work days and your bf works nights, IMO that is the perfect situation. I am nights, dh is days and Huey only has 2 or 3 hours of alone time 4 or 5 days a week. Yorkies do not like to be without their humans for very long. That is why they are called velcro dogs. A yorkie will follow you to the bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, wherever you go. You will find that you don't want to take a vacation unless it is a dog friendly spot. You can't wait to get home from work because you know that bundle of love is anxiously waiting for you, knows what time you are supposed to be home, and gets tore up if you are late! A yorkie is a long term commitment, as they can live 15 to 18 years, and they can have expensive health issues. Weigh the pros and cons, and if you decide to get one, welcome to the wonderful world of yorkies!
