I should add probably why I did not pick him up, was he was not fond of being held and would go crazy if anyone or any dog walked by, I would try to turn him away but his head and neck would be moving like crazy along with aggressive barking and lunging to get out of my arms. I would try to comfort him and hold his face but it was either use force to keep his head under control and his mouth shut or I felt like he might break his neck. He was just barely 4lbs and sort of a frail build but when he did not want to be controlled he had the strength of at least 50 lbs. I was always afraid of hurting him, grooming him was a nightmare since he used the same aggression on the brush and comb that he did on other dogs. He acted the same when someone would come to the door, it was sad since I think he was an unhappy dog and I felt all I ever did was try to control him, while he just wanted to run loose all over the place which of course I could not allow.
