We now have 13, all but one HAS to be right next to me, on my lap, between my legs, on my shoulder, where ever there is an empty spot available and if there is no spot, they make one. I have three that jocky for the lap spot and will actually lay on top of each other just so they can be on my lap. The one and only non-lap sitter is a little stinker and won't even let us pick her up unless she wants to go outside. I've been working on short times of just holding her but she's still very independent. I think it's very much how they are raised. Our pups are held and cuddled from the time they are born.
