If so, then she missed out of 6 more weeks of time she should have been with her mom and liter mates. This is a very important time in her life to learn socialization among other things. Getting her before 12 weeks does put a different spin on things, and more responsibility on you to replace what her mom would have taught her.
None the less, she is yours, and in my opinion 13 weeks is way too early to be judging a puppy's personality. She has so many changes ahead of her as she grows up, especially in the first year or two, so you will have to be really patient, loving, and understanding to help her become the perfect pet you desire.
My advice is don't even think of giving up. God's not done with her yet, and don't you be either. |
I couldn't agree more!
If she had stayed with her mom until she was 12 weeks old, she would have learned lots of puppy manners form her mom and littermates. She missed those important lessons.
Expecting a 13 week old puppy to be cuddly is pretty unrealistic.
How well did you research Yorkies before you got one? Being terriers, they have a very different personality than Poodles. Yorkies are know for their energy and stubbornness.
