Vanessa, I read this whole thread and it's a good thing you got to have him for a trial period. To me, it doesn't sound like he is the right dog for you. If you don't keep him i hope he finds a great home but if i were you i would keep looking, it pays off to wait for the perfect dog for you, trust me. You said you want a cuddly dog, and one that is more calm. If he is not then he is not right for you. All dogs have their each personalities. I have 3 yorkies and each one is different. You also said he marks. Since he is already 1 i don't think the neautering will get rid of it, it might help but he still might mark cause he already knows how to do it and has been for a while. My male marks and i love him but it's my fault cause he is not neutered. In the future i will either neuter if i get another male early or stick to females. Personally my females are the most cuddly and chill. They just love to be in my lap, hang out, where as my male is the most hyper and energetic but full of love. Anyway my friend wanted a Yorkie really bad but didn't do enough research on them, and got one suddenly. It wasn't the right one for her, he marks everywhere and she hates that. She also doesnt like the fact that he grew too big, anyway she sold him. If she had waited longer the right one could have come along. Also i told her to research both males and females and she got a male but can't deal with marking. That's not good. My male marks but i can deal with it, i dont freak out. So diff. strokes for diff. folks. Anyway i had a Cavalier and he got sick very early in life. They can get overweight, mine def. was and he had athritis and prob. other things, i was younger so i barely knew about it but it was really sad. Also they shed, Yorkies don't shed. And he def. was too big to take out places with me, to put in a carrier and he also didnt like sleeping on the bed with us. I mean every dog is diff. but keep that into account about Cavaliers. I think maybe a poodle, maltese, chihuahua or Yorkie would be good for you. Just do as much research as you can. Good luck!
