My male Yorkie is almost two years old and he is so shy and timid. When I reach down to pet him or pick him up, he cowers like he has been abused or beat. It is sad. He will come to me and he is very affectionate but I don't understand why he cowers. He has never been abused, we have never raised our voice with him, never needed to. The breeder can't be blamed, I have since purchased another Yorkie from her and she her personality is totally different.
