| Boring yorkie so my boyfriend got me a yorkie for xmas when he was 12 weeks old. it's been almost month and still hes not active . i want him to play around or explore the house at least. all he does is sit at the corner somewhere. he will play sometimes but lazily like he wouldnt move out of the spot that hes in and i'd have to go over to him. i tried to take him out for walks but it seems that he doesnt like me taking control. all he does is cry, if i leave the room with him still in there he'll try to follow but stop after like 3 steps and cries. so then i'd have to over to carry him out of the room. what should i do? |

| Please, get that baby to a vet! This is not normal puppy behavior and I am concerned for his health. Good luck to you, and keep us posted! Hopefully a good vet can figure out what is wrong and your baby will be bouncing around the house in no time!

| Do you know anything about where he was purchased? Have you called the breeder. And a 12 wk old puppy isn't going to go out for a walk. But you shoul be able to call him and he follow you around the rooms and explore and play ball. They do get tired out and after playing for like 15 mins hard they need to get there rest due to the fragile bodies they have. Have you had this dog to the vet since you got him? Does he eat good?

| I agree with taking him to the vets asap. My second thought is that the puppy is actually younger then he was told to be. Keep us updated! Also mine did not like going for walks until they were almost a year old. Make sure when you do take your puppy outside you use a harness not a collar so you do not hurt their trachea.

| Please take him to a vet. I got mine at 12 weeks, took her on holiday two days later, she played on the beach, played with toys and people. There is something wrong with this poor baby! Sheilagh

| Oh my gosh... I hope that baby is ok! It sounds like there is something really wrong. I have a 13 week old puppy and it would kill me if this were happening to her! Please write back and let us know!

| He may just be a more laid back yorkie. My Jewels wasnt rambuncious and just wanted to be held all the time when she was a pup
