Bought my GF one and she is having a hard time teaching him to go outside.He will pee in the bed or anyplace else he happens to be,the lady I got him from never took him outside,she kept him in a kennel that had a mesh type bottom so he could go right there and it just fell through to a little tray with a puppy pad.

Poor baby what a nasty start in life, in a mesh cage.
If he is very tiny you can get him used to an indoor litter tray like cats use. There are some especially designed for dogs.
To train any dogs you need three things:
1. Patience. Don't scream to the little fella, especially if he's never been used to living in a nice home but just in a crate. I know its frustrating to have to clean after his accidents, but remember how small and defenceless he is. Screams just make him more nervous and more likely to let go of his bowel anywhere.
2. Persistence. Every time this happens direct the doggy to the place where you want them to dirty. It can take time. You can say "No!" when you catch him, but not too loud, just kind of loving but firm. If he's a puppy still, it's only normal that he will have a few accidents, while he learns how to do what you like him to. ALL dogs want to please their human, so he will learn, just insist and give him treats when he gets it right.
3. NEVER do pointless things like rubbing his face in the dirt he made, they are outdated ways of training that luckily are now not being used anymore. Well, maybe dumb hicks still do. If you do this to him, he will never understand what's going on, plus he will think you're cruel to him and become even more
3b. Love. With the above, and lots of affection, he will learn.
If you want you can find advice on dog training or a good dog trainer.

There is not any such factor as a "teacup" Yorkie. "Teacup" is just a title utilized by BYB to take a look at and idiot gullible folks into purchasing overpriced poorly bred puppies, who come to be with MANY well being disorders. Are you severely going to mention that you just believe among two-7 lbs is "significant"? Thats how so much an usual good bred Yorkie weighs. The handiest "well location to shop for" a yorkie is from both a Reputable Breeder who indicates their puppies in conformation and well being checks all their puppies or from a Shelter.

Yes they are. I have a 7 pound Yorkie that is 6 years old. He is not completely potty trained yet. He will go outside most of the time but that is because I let him out. He has never "asked" to go out. Just keep taking him out every hour or so and praise him when he goes outside and scold him when he goes inside. For the scolding to work though you have to catch him in act - finding a pile or wet spot 30 minutes later and then trying to scold him for it doesn't work. It's too late he doesn't know what you're talking about then.

Before I got a dog I researched many breeds.. One thing the sites all said the same... a yorkie is virtually impossible to totally housebreak....

Try a kettle and newspaper that will teacher to go on the paper or take her outside until she goes to the bathroom. Sooner or later she is going to know where she has to the bathroom.
