This is just our experience with Yoda. Your Yorkie boy experience may vary.

I hear that boys still hump after they are neutered, is that true?
Yes, Yoda still humps his stuffed cat and dog. He says I'm not allowed to say if he was neutered or not *wink* *wink*...

Are they harder to potty train?
Yoda was fully potty trained at around 8 months, after a year he hardly had any accidents and now three years later, he hasn't had any accidents at all if we watch his signals that he needs to go outside. We haven't had any experience with Yorkie girls, but our breeder told us it was easier to potty train a Yorkie boy.

Do they mark their territory outside or inside? And can it be a problem?
Yoda only marked his territory outside. If your Yorkie boy marks their territory inside, it could become a problem!

Is humping be a habit or just a stage?
We think it's a habit and it makes him feel good, just our opinion. He looks so guilty afterwards though, but we're happy that he doesn't go out randomly searching for bitches in heat (there are a few dogs in our neighborhood). He's always humped his stuffed cat, since he was a baby! We just made sure he didn't hump anybody's leg or anything that wasn't his stuffed cat or dog.

Boys are the best!!! (Yoda told me to say that, honest!)

Oh yes, forgot to add, Yoda still marks his territory outside, namely electricity poles, or bushes, or what not, we don't mind it one bit, he rules his house, why not the neighborhood!
