Hi well Dustie nearly 8 mon ths old is very independant...more so than any of the other yorkies I have had. He loves his crate..no problem there...goes in when he wants...he sleeps through all night.no worried at all...hardly barks or makes a sound except when he needs to...loves to play...and go walks.
I have set a routine for him as I work from home...He follows me around when I do any chores..usually with his toys as well...When I sit down at the comp..he jumps up on a squashy cushion and settles down..cause he knows his mummy will be working...Evenings he seems to get a bit excited really...and a bit feisty sometimes...He still likes to have a go at fingers etc. I am working on that one...I call it his mad 10 mins.. He loves to come and sit on my knee for a cuddle too..but he is one that has a mind of his own..he won't be forced..
Still being independent has its good side...My last wee Sammie got too dependent on us really...he always was...
But they all different aren't they...
