gypsy rose is right....
i felt the same way about Ahia when we got her. i compared her to our adult (buckeye). she seemed like she was way out of control for me and i was not 'bonding' with her the way i had with Buckeye. She wanted to just play and bite at us. she did her own thing. I would try to love on her and she would be evil. while buckeye was giving me hugs, she would be trying to drag my hand across the room with those sharp teeth. when we would try to sleep for the night, she would jump out of bed and go searching for something to get into. i was constantly putting her back in bed.
and now.... she is loving and wonderful to me. it took a little time. just within the past few months has she gotten really close to me. I loved her and couldn't immagine life around here without her with us. it was difficult with having one so active and the other layed back. to put it in a nut shell ...she got on my nerves like a brat child would!
unaffectionate, insanely wild, and dumb, bad genes? probably not. just being a puppy with a lot of interest. he is learning life and trying to enjoy it.
i had to finally come to the conclusion that she enjoyed exploring and playing rather than just laying on my lap. as i would if i was her.
as far as the potty training goes... that can be a challange. just be at attention at all times for a while and it will fall into place. i gave treats each time they went potty. i know others don't use that method but it worked for me. i took them out side and as soon as they would potty i would say "good potty" then give a treat. (just small one). it dont take them long to learn. they are smarter than you think.
i know this is long but hope it helps you. good luck
