And she did scare me at first (yeah a 1lb white furball). But she was just as scare as I was. I gave her space and waited for her to come to me. In a couple of day's all she wanted to do was to be in my lap.
As far as biting when their teething those sharp baby teeth will hurt. That's with yorkies and maltese. So you might want to consider adopting one in their teenage years if you want to avoid that. I would also recomend you do frequent visits with the breeder to see which pup is the calm one.
The only other advise I might have is to make sure you have money for training. Training a dog is very important especially when your involved. |
Good post, and I just want to remind the reader that "teenage years" for a dog would be be around 1. This is when the dog has adult teeth, and can get pregnant, but shouldn't.
