Animal Smiley 036 Potential Yorkie Owner - question on temperament

Hi, I am very interested in getting a yorkie. I know they are spunky and full of life. I have seen yorkies which are calm and trained well but still full of life and spunk, but have also seen videos/tv of ones who are bad stereotypes for yorkies and are over protective/insecure/nip at owners etc.

If you have a moment please glance at the following videos:

possesive over bone
angry about food being gone?
threatening to nip boy, protective of puppy?


I am curious to your expertise, if you see the above videos, if this dog fits into the one of the following categories, or maybe another one I didnt think of?

A) This dog shows typical yorkie personality
B) This dogs behavior is not typica, and is it the result of bad owners who do not practice discipline/boundaries
C) This dog is genetically wired this way, where some yorkies like this are more aggressive than others regardless of its owners.

I appreciate your help, particularly from your personal experience, to gather what I can expect from a yorkie (knowing personalities may differ of course)
