Hello, everyone!

I'm a newbie here, and I'd like to say that I think this is a wonderful forum!

I'm seriously considering buying a Yorkie. Last week, I went to see one for sale. He is 10 weeks old, and adorable! The only problem was that he was extremely hyper. So hyper, in fact, that I couldn't even hold him. He ran around me, and everytime I'd try to touch him, he's bite my hands (in a playful manner). He also barked an awful lot. Is this to be expected from most Yorkie puppies, or did I just meet one very hyper one? Also, if I do happen to get a very hyper puppy, what are the chances of him mellowing out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
