Default Aggression/protectiveness in Yorkies

Hi! I have been having issues with Lexie behaving VERY aggressive towards people and other dogs. It is not all the time, but rather a random, sporatic event. It freaks me out because I am literally afraid to have her around other people and dogs, for fear she will bite (and I have absolutely NO doubt that she would!) I got her when she was 10wks old (she is now 14mos old) and I socialized her like crazy, did everything "right" that I was supposed to do. I read a great deal before I got her so I thought I was all prepared and she would not be like this! If I didn't get her at such a young age, I would swear she came from a horrible home!!(but I know 100% this is not the case!) Do you think it is an environmental thing (something maybe I am doing and don't know it?) Or is it just the Yorkie breed? Or could it be genetics? I love her so much and like to take her everywhere with me but now I am scared to, which I know will just make this worse!!!She is a very loving girl with us and I want people to see that side of her. Is it just my dog that is like this?? Please- any advice??!!!!!
