I gotta tell you that Zeus was so easy to house train! Trust me before him I was not a dog person now I am as smitten as they come.

I have never had a problem with my yorkie. I brought him home at 12 weeks old, last July. He has been a dream to train! I have also read a lot of posts with "problem" yorkies, & I don't see any of that stuff with mine. He has never chewed anything up, he was so easy to train to the pee pads & now that nice weather is coming is learning to go outside. he has learned a lot of tricks, walks great on the leash, outgoing, friendly personality. never bites, hardly ever barks. I don't understand why yorkie pups are getting such a bad rap. I think the problem is with the owners/trainers. all puppies need a "lot" of training & guidance & patience.

thats just it.. I don't have the patience lol I have delt enough with puppies that I don't want to go through it again lol maybe when my kids are grown i'd be more willing to do the whole infant thing but that won't be for a VERY long time.

the whole having to keep them fed every couple hours and potty training such little bladders

I was on puppyfind just looking at yorkies (i like to look at pictures not actually going to buy any of them!) and omg i found one lady in ks makes me sick to see how tiny hers are..she has one that is only 7oz at 8 weeks!! omg waaay too small.. she brags about how tiny her "micros" are ugh! and then her guarentee is only a 48 hour one!!!!!
most were cheap too 600 or less. wth? i am banning that site from my eyes from now on. i used to use it just to look at pictures of puppies and get my puppy fix. they should call it puppymillfind or bybfind

you are so right!!!! My Yorkie Lucky was with me 13 1/2 yrs. and I miss him so...such a wonderful companion...intelligent and loving....no barking unless necessary to alert...it's all according to the owners...Bad Rap is true!!!! it's the people themselves...Ruaga

ya, you need a lot of patience. I'm home all the time now & my son is grown & moved out so I just "dote" on my little love. He is about 5 pounds now I would never want a really, super tiny one. We stepped on his toes a couple times when we first brought him home & he was only 2 pounds. I'm glad he grew a bit!! and also there are never any distractions during training, with only him & I in the house all day, which makes things alot easier. It must be very hard with small kids and a puppy to look after. But, I thing the yorkie & toy breeds still get the "bum rap"

its actually pretty easy to train with the kids here, cuase they are always watching too. my husband and i were talking last night and i told him if and i mean IF (as in YEARS down the road) i decide to get another yorkie it would have to be an adult. so i would probably go through a rescue. but no more puppies for me!

There are plenty of rescues these days that are loaded with cuties. I think it is a wonderful thing to do.
