| Hyper??? I was jsut wondering how many of you have calm dogs? I know 2 people that have yorkies and they are just about as wild as they can be! My baby isn't hyper. I mean he sounds off when he hears strange noises and loved to play. BUT we have to be playing with him and if we aren't then he wants to be curled up next to us. He has his moments tho. When I come home he goes ape %$#@ ! LOL Eventually he will calm down. If someone comes over he still isn't what I call hyper but jsut a little excited. We have a shepherd and a spaniel in the house. As I am sitting here typing they are over there playing.(the shepherd and my little man) I guess I am just really wondering if this is the norm? |

YT 5000 Club Member | Gidget is very hyper. Everytime she hears a door squeak she is there to see what is going on and if someone is leaving her! She is running around ALL the time! Chloe is the same as yours. She plays when played with and she plays with Gidget a pretty good bit! But any other time she wants in my lap! And I definitely don't mind because Gidget is hardly ever just wanting in my lap!

| Dezi is really really hyper. When I get home, she goes crazy and starts running around and she keeps kissing me and kissing me. Once she is calm, then she wants to play and bite. Biting is a little annoying, but I am working on it. I give her other toys to bite on, but she loves to bite my fingers. At about 8:30 she sits to watch tv with us and she wants to be rubbed and pampered and at about 9:30 or 10:00 when I think she is tired, I head to the bedroom (she sleeps in my room, not in my bed (Yet)), she starts acting crazy again. LOL. As soon as the lights go out, she is asleep. |

| Vivi loves to snuggle and cuddle. She will play with her toys and she loves to go for walks but overall, I would say she is very calm. She also loves to play with other dogs.

| calm? CALM? Twinkie doesn't know the meaning of the word calm! She's always all over the place, espcially ofr walks, car rides, when someone comes over, when one of gets home, letting her out of her kennel...etc. She only know how to be calm at night when she's sleeping!

| Yeah thats one thing I hate. Diesel follows me from room to room. I only hate it because I know his legs must get tired. I am glad to see at least a few others have calm dogs. I was beginning to wonder if something was off wiht mine! LOL I actually love the way he is. I love being able to cuddle with him. So I will quit worrying so much and just enjoy it all. |

| Calm???? I don't think Pricess knows how to be calm, unless she's sleeping.

| I think it is only a problem if he was really hyper and then changed to calm. I was looking for a calm dog and asked for one....Don't misunderstand...she still runs around the house and follows me like a shadow and plays with her toys. She is very social and loves to ride in the car and meet new people. There is a difference in calm and lethargic. I had two Goldens....the really calm one, we called him Eyore...lived to be 13 years old(old for a big dog) and the hyper one died of cancer at 9. Vivi has never been much of a barker unless food is an issue.She has a great appetite. Her behavior is consistant and that is the key

| Maddie is definitely in the "hyper" category. It's funny how 2 dogs from the same litter can be so different. My daughter has Maddie's brother, Kirby, and he is so layed back and calm. Maddie will lay down to rest at times, like now...she is beside me on the floor catching a quick nap...but...as soon as I get up, she'll bounce up and look around for a toy so we can play. It's like..."Play with me...play with me...play with me NOW!" She cracks me up! She goes wild when we get company and gets so excited when we're going somewhere. Except for her little cat naps, she doesn't sit still for a minute!
