| llllllooooookkkkk at his little face!!!!!!! HEHEHE he makes me want to squeeze him and give him soooo much love!!! OMG he is PRECIOUS! On another note, he LOOKS like a little trouble maker! I love him!! What is his name? Shelby? I'd say hes a bit young to be teething... so I have no idea why he bites so much!

| Yes, it's normal. One of the very important socialization lessons puppies learn from their mom and littermates is bite inhibition - learning that biting too hard hurts. Yorkie puppies should stay with their mothers until 12 weeks so he missed out on this very important lesson by being separated from his mother too soon. You will have to teach him bite inhibition yourself now. Here's a good resource: http://www.canismajor.com/dog/bite2.html |

| I learned this with Zoey and Chloe. We got Zoey at 9 wks and Chloe at about 15. Zoey still bites, Chloe never. It is a striking difference. Just a few more weeks with Momma and the siblings makes a world of difference.
