I don't think you said much about the personality of the pup and how he reacts to you, like people and like kids not all pups are the same. Does he show you the same type of love and attention the first pup did or perhaps he is more attached to your other dog or person in the house

I never felt that bonded or connected with my last yorkie, and it was pretty much like that from when I got him at 4 months old and I felt it was a result of his personality. He never acted like he cared that much about me, and after having three other yorkies that acted like I hung the moon I could feel and see the difference and it was a big disappointment. He would never sit in my lap, or even near me on the couch, he would run when I tried to pick him up, if I cradled him in my arms he would turn away from me, it was like I had this dog that I took good care of that was constantly giving me the cold shoulder. I really felt like he did not like me and that he was never happy. I knew early on something was not right but since I bought him from a show breeder and cut his bangs and gave him a trim shortly after I got him home I knew I would have a hard time getting my money back so I hung in with him, but believe me I thought a lot about bringing him back. He also turned out to be high maintenance , he was not easy to train and extremely aggressive with other dogs, and in spite of having access to his potty pad 24/7 he still wet in various places in the house. He peed a lot 8 times or more a day, I felt like I spent half my life on my hands and knees cleaning the area around the litter box his pads were kept in, he was hard to groom his 4 lbs turned in to 40 lbs and heaven forbid he got some burrs or something in his hair, 2 neighbors would have to come over to help me hold him down, forget about brushing his teeth, simply impossible. I have no problem with taking care of a pup but it made it harder that he never showed affection towards me, I felt like he spent his whole life mad at me, it really was very sad. After he passed I said no more dogs I went a year until I realized I missed having a pup, but boy was I worried that I would get another one that had the same quirks, luckily I am very happy with Lola and both of us share a strong and happy bond and I think she hung the moon. Good luck because I know how conflicted you must feel
