Based on what I've seen with Gracie Ruth and Yogi, the personalities they had at 12 weeks is pretty much what they have now. They go through phases, but their base personalities are always there. I've heard and feel there's some truth to the saying the time between 3 & 8 months are the most influential for their development. So I tried real hard to make sure that they were exposed to many different things during that time, and to also make sure that every new experience was accomplished by a safe secure feeling for them that I was there and would take care of everything. I think this has helped them to grow into confident, loving Yorkies.
