new here. posting again to ask some more questions.

going to get a puppy in aproximately 3 months. strongly partial to the yorkie, but not certain yet. please be honest though in your answers.

are yorkies known for biting or nipping excesively? did you find it hard to "train" your puppy to not do this?

i've heard that they can be yappy, constantly barking. first off, if this true? if it is, is it easy to train them not to bark excessively?

after reading the post about eating the wall and carpet, etc... to be honest. i'm scared. we have a nice home.. with nice furniture. i understand that with all puppies some accidents and damage are to be expected. however, eating the wall! eating the carpet! honestly, ar these dogs destruction machines? is there anyway to train them not to do this? does this typically only occur during puppy stage? how much do they chew the furniture, etc.? we are planning on keeping a watch over our puppy and trying our best to train her not to do this.. however.. if it runs in the breed, i'm sure it is harder.

i believe that's it at this stage. any help is greatly appreciated.
