I would think that your puppy is going to gain at least two pounds before it matures. That is still going to a small sized dog. Some Yorkies get quite large and can be a good family pet but the smaller ones can be in some danger around young children that want to carry them around or may be to rough with them.
Yorkies do tend to bond with their people so I think this poor soul has no idea why all of a sudden he is in a strange place. It will take some time to earn his trust. I'm not sure what your expectations were for a family pet. He is going to be on the small side and you are going to always have to watch out for him.
I have two grand daughters ages 9 and 10. Gracie loves it when they come to visit because they take her out to run around and play. Gracie is only 5 pounds but the girls are very careful with her and when they are done running around they bring her in and go back out to play. Gracie loves kids but I would never leave her alone with young ones other than my grand daughters.
I have found it usually takes at least two weeks for an older animal to adjust to it's new setting though for a sensitive Yorkie it may take a bit longer. |
