I voted for the first three. But these aren't issues that just happen with Yorkies. My Maltese barks like crazy, it's been my biggest issue with him. He also has some major seperation anxiety.. that's actually one of the top reasons why I got another dog was that he could have a companion to keep him company when and if I go back to work full time. As for the housebreaking, Pixie (the Yorkie) seems to be a lot more stubborn about it than my Malt was. She has to have a clean pee pad and on carpet. She will walk right off a dirty pee pad to pee on the carpet. But I think that she'll pick it up eventually if I'm consistent with her. Housebreaking is a huge issue with small dogs, not just Yorkies. As for barking, I'm really working on that because right now Pixie doesn't bark but I don't want her to learn it from Tuffy. Hopefully since they are together seperation anxiety won't be an issue anymore.
