I cannot teach him to potty in the litter box. he shows no interest in us whatsoever, unless it is to run around and bite us or fetch something. Unfortunately I have our first yorkie to compare him too which we lost. Our first dog was very loyal, affectionate, smart, potty trained, and was completely obsessed with being around us all the time, loved affection and attention, and this was at 3 months old.
wow, what a vent.
anyhow, a friend at my school who breeds yorkies said sometimes they come out unaffectionate, insanely wild, and dumb, bad genes, is this true???
we are almost to the point of getting rid of him but at the same time want it to work out. please let me know what you guys think, i appreciate your time... |
i dont believe that any yorkie is really dumb and unaffectionate... i know they all have their own personalities and the 1 likes to cuddle more then the other, when i had 3 fur babies they were all different and yes u do compare but i loved them all in different ways, dont forget that these babies are very sensitive and they pick up ur temprament and moods, try not to compare him to ur other yorkie coz he is different but, he will show u his qualities soon enough
my friend has a yorkie pup thats the same age as Chelsey and she also doesnt like to cuddle as much as my baby and is in many ways very different, Chelsey is a real little baby and wants me with her 24/7
my advice would be, pick him up wen he sleeps and hold him close, teach him that being close to u is nice and safe but, remember that u have to feel relaxed wen u do and he will learn to enjoy the idea....talk to him!
give him time, hes a little boy and "exploring" his world, i hope it all works out for u...
i can assure u that he is not dumb, but very intelligent in his own way, hes a little chap that knows what he wants .....
plz keep us updated
puppy hugs and kisses from Chelsey
