Keep us updated!

Also mine did not like going for walks until they were almost a year old.
Make sure when you do take your puppy outside you use a harness not a collar so you do not hurt their trachea.

I agree, get him to the vet, something doesn't sound right.

thank you for the advice. actually when we first got him he had a cold, the breeder gave us antibiotices for him and now hes alot better. the breeder for this puppy i thought was a good breeder, he does it for a living and i believe he knows what he's doing. we do have a 1 year health gaurantee too. I took him to the vet and they said he's healthy. some of my friends thinks that he's like this because of me. because i have a habit of spoiling and accessorizing things hehe. he is very babyish too. i think he's more like a human baby than a puppy. i dont think he's sick he'll play but i would have to go to him instead of him coming to me. before him i had a pomeranian and he was shy at first and after a few days he was all over the place! but this yorkie just wants us come to him. its almost like he's training me instead of me training him. right now hes playing by himself with his chew toy. he's just not what i expected thats all, i was expecting to get a puppy that would greet me at the door everytimg i come home. he's fine with other dogs though, in fact i think he prefers to be around dogs more.

He does race around after Lucy several times a day but would rather be in my lap than anywhere. I've had very active dogs and very quiet dogs and I'd rather a quiet one! They don't get into nearly as much as the hyper ones. I'm sure you've already had him to the vet but if not you might want to have him checked out just to make sure. Congratulations on your new baby.

Thank you so much!.. so there are yorkies that just calm! yes he's very little! he was 1 lb 4 oz at 12 weeks! it seems like he sleep most of the time. i compared him to my pomeranian that's whyi think he's boring because my pom was all over the place. you think his size have something to do with his energy? should i give him more doses of the nutri cal? he eats and drinks good. you made me feel more comfortable! because i just thought it was weird that he just sleeps all day.

When I got my boy, I took him to the vet and he seemed healthy too. Took a little time for the illness to show up. Please keep an eye on this puppy, I am concerned for him/her.

Wow! I just finished going through the threads and I am very shocked that your little one isn't all over the place right now. I have agreed with everyone else and said "Take him to the vet immediately!" if I hadn't read your last post. I'm glad that he's in good health, but it is quite strange that he isn't active. My little Kaylah was all over the place 2 days after I got her home at 11 weeks.

What kind of toys do you have for him?

Welcome to YT! Glad that you found us.

It I was in your situation, I would take him to the vet for a checkup just for peace of mind. When these little furkids become ill, it can get bad very quickly.

Better to be safe than sorry.

I agree it is worth a trip to the vet you never know he might have something wrong with him that just didn't show last time.

You especially should take him to the vet if he's tiny.

You probably don't really mean he is "boring". It may not be the word you are looking for because it implies you have a negative feeling towards his personality.

The thing is, he could be listless or just puppy-sleepy, or ill. In any case even well visits with the vet are important in a sweetie that small.

Glad you are here.
