Welcome! I'm sorry for your losses. It's always great to do research first a lot of people don't then don't enjoy the breed and the poor dog ends up in a shelter or not treated well. I have two yorkies my old girl who will be 10 soon likes to lay next to me and across my legs or if I curl up with my legs kinda under me/ to the side she will curl up next to me she is also a bigger girl at 16 pounds or so. My little baby boy who just turned a year is a HUGE lap dog and cuddle bug. He loves being held, sleeping on you, cuddling with you being carried ridding in a bag you name it. I never had potty training issues at all. With my boy we put a bell on the knob of the back door and he rings to to go out and go potty. Yorkies and human like have and no undercoats like other dogs so they can loose so hair like humans but the don't really shed a lot. Sometimes I noticed some as puppies but as adults not really. Mine both like kids and almost everybody they meet and they also are very dog social and love other dogs. They are very smart. My older girl has a trick dog title and my boy is going to start earning his soon. It can be hard with puppies to tell what there personalities are going to be so you might want one that a year or two old. They can be fragile if you get a very tiny one and then jumping can be an issue. Yorkies are prone to Luxating Patella and if they have that you really don't want any jumping.
