My question is, when she is eventually house trained, is it alright to have a small doggie door where she can come in and out to go pottie? We would do this when she is a bit bigger, but I was wondering what the opinion was of this?
Thank you.

First of all congrats and welcome. I guess I've been lucky I housetrained 3 yorkies over the years and they were all completely trained by the time they were around 6 - 7 months old. So in my experience they are not hard to house train. It just takes patience and consistency.
We put a doggie door in back in Feb of this year my youngest was only 7 months old and I absolutely love it. I will never be without one again. They both come and go as they please when we are home.
Even when it's closed off, when I'm gone I've only came home to an accident 1 time. I can't say enough about how great I think this doors are.
Good Luck with house training. Keep us posted.
