The woman said the dog doesnt like strangers...so I was wondering if yorkies are overly protective or aggressive? I mean, of course it depends on how they are raised and introduced to people...but that was so strange since she had the dog in a bag and seemed like they went everywhere together.
I should add that my yorkie doesnt sit in a bag, he is allowed to walk or I carry him if there are lots of people. I also only take him places where there is no food served (because I think its rude) so hes been to the outdoor mall (where all the stores allow dogs) and the pet stores and today we went to lowes. People all looked and petted him and he was loving the attention, especially from babies
Sounds like her dog was not properly socialized at a young age, or had a bad experience with a stranger previously.
Glad to hear your baby is doing well.
