My boy is adopted. He was bought for an 8 yo little girl whose parents were going through a divorce. The two grandmothers pitched in and bought the little girl the dog to help ease the pain of daddy not being there all the time. This dog had no toys because the child was to be his toy. I believe they did not allow him to have the puppy zoomies, did not allow him to entertain himself. This child carried this dog as a puppy in her arms as you would hold a infant. I got him when he was 2 1/2 yo, he would flip himself over in my arms, that's how I know that's how he was carried around. He never lived a life of a puppy, was not allowed to. He was crated all day while the child was in school and the mom worked. I am still in contact with one of the grandmothers and the little girl who is now 14 yo, she was 11 when her mother surrendered him. I found out much about his past. I also send pics to the child and the grandmother every 6 months to show the child what an excellent life he has, so the child knows he is in an excellent and loving home. I tell you this because Cody is not a wild child like my girls were. He is very calm in the house, he learned how to play with toys, he leaned how to chew on chew things, all things he never had with the prev. owner. When I take him to the yard is when the yorkie spirit comes out lol. In the winter I do not go in the yard a lot due to snow and ice so he is not very active in the winter months, Spring, Summer and Fall is when he's in the yard, I get him out several times a day and he runs like the wind. He is not your average yorkie, meaning he doesn't get into mischief, but he does shred tissues and napkins if he gets hold of them. He is not crazy active in the house. He really is a perfect boy, just not animal friendly lol.
