Thanks again for your reply!!

First, speaking of only my experience, don't know about anyone else, my yorkie is the same way with affection, she wants it only when she wants it, not when I want it. Very catlike in that way. I am thinking maybe that is something about this breed. They are very independant and intelligent and a lot just dont want to be babied.
Another thought I have is if the puppy tries to bite you, I would spray the mouth with bitter apple to get him to stop. Or give him a "puppy time out" and put him in his crate for a short period and continue to do that every single time he tries to bite you.
I just got my 2nd yorkie and I am actually in love with him. He is one of my children.
I am [/B]not[B] being judgemental, but perhaps this isn't the breed of dog for you.
I hope you can work it out. Your little fella needs a wonderful home and lots of love (even if it seems he doesnt want it LOL).
Good luck to you!
