Hello!
I have two 1 1/2 year old shihtzus. Last Saturday, we picked up our 8 month old yorkie. When we got our shihtzus, they were just 6 weeks old and from a breeder (I know, TOO YOUNG). They were very playful and feared nothing. Our little yorkie has been here for a few days...and is afraid of everything. She is the cutest little thing but jumps when she hears a noise, runs away when you bend down, put your hand out, just about anything. If I want to pick her up, she will run away and run a million miles an hour. I turned on the vaccum yesterday and I she shook so badly that I turned it off. The breeder has a kennel....away from her home. The nursery and dogs are kept at the kennel. I guess she has not had much human contact.....does this sound like normal behaviour for an 8 month old yorkie? Are yorkies nervous little dogs?
