Yorkies rock!!! I too was told by ppl not to get a yorkie because they're too "yappy" and potty training would be a nightmare. My Rasta
is vocal when he sees strangers or anything he perceives as a threat. He tried to protect me from a Halloween decoration

. Potty training is like any other dog. Even my housebroken English Bulldog still has accidents once every couple of months. You just have to stay consistent and realize things will get better. Not all pups are cuddlers. I can honestly say my bulldog is more cuddly than Rasta but he has his moments and if I want to cuddle he'll "grin and bear it" but he mostly wants to wreak havoc/play hehehe. Every pup is an individual just pick the one with the personality you like and disregard gender(I was going to get a girl also then saw Rasta and I was a goner). Btw Welcome to YT!!!
