i hope this is the right section and i apologise if it isn't but i hope someone can help me
i got my little badger just under four weeks ago. i went to see him at the breeder's house and she has an excellent reputation and he has an extremely good pedigree. i went to see him at eight weeks with his remaining brother and he was obviously the smallest of the litter but full of fun. he did come when i called to him and he seemed very lively and alert so i thought he was a great choice irrespective of his size. we picked him up the next week and brought him home but from the start he hasn't seemed very affectionate at all and i'm worried he doesn't like me
the reason i got a yorkie was because my girlfriend in boston had one (we moved back to the UK last summer) and i absolutely loved him to bits. he was really affectionate and followed me around everywhere and so on. it's hard not to draw comparisons but i don't want to put any pressure on badger at all and i know he's only a puppy but i'm starting to get really worried. he occasionally sits in my lap but then all he does is try and bite me (playfully) when i try and stroke him. he almost seems scared of me at times which i find upsetting and will sometimes run away. he gets really excited when he sees my husband (who is at work all day) but is not as excited when he sees me. generally, he's not a nervous dog. i have taken him out quite a bit but not to walk just to get him used to the sites and sounds of the city and recently he's started insisting on walking and he seems to be having a great time (i try not to let him overdo it though). he also seems great with other people but some reason we don't seem to be bonding at all. this probably seems ridiculous but i'm starting to regret getting him now. i don't want to commit to a dog for fifteen years that doesn't seem that interested in even sitting in my lap
gosh. this has been a really long post. please forgive me, i'm just really worried
