The "breeder" you got the pup from should have made it very clear that it is going to take time for that baby to adjust to a new home, more than a "couple of days", ESPECIALLY if there are children involved and he has not been around children! It has also been my experience males bond more deeply and the age you adopted your little boy, has enabled him to bond with his previous owner....the fact that he "likes to cuddle" indicates he was not isolated or ignored in his previous home. I think you are expecting too much from a baby that in his little mind, has lost his momma, is in a completely new home and routine and strangers that, oh by the way! includes some small, loud, energetic, fast moving, "wanting to play", "things" he has never seen in his life! WHERE IS MY MOMMA, WHERE AM I, WHAT DO I DO NOW????? Please, it may take a month for him to get used to the kids....how large is he? I "save" my larger babies when I have them, to pair with families with older children....I do not sell my babies to families with children under 6 years of age.....I just personally do not think Yorkies are the best breed for young children. If your new pup is 4-7 lbs, he is still rather small for active children, but he can adjust, given time and love and PATIENCE!!!....poor little baby, give him a chance....the children have to calm down around him and for a maybe couple of weeks, this is just an introductory phase....everybody getting used to everybody else....no loud yelling, no running around, just some calmness around a frightened, little guy. Give him time, move slowly, BE PATIENT, tell the kids to lay on the floor and let him come over to them and investigate them, get used to them, and he will come around.....if the breeder told you he was playful and she was honest, he will adjust and your kids will have a wonderful playmate. |
