No cuddles from my Yorkie. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

zekie's mom · 09-23-2009, 06:18 PM

Zeke does not like to be picked up or held. He does like to be close both in bed and when you are sitting down. He likes to be petted, but not hugged. He is very independent and has been right from the begining. We got him at 8 weeks and he is over 1 year now and has been neutered. He sleeps a lot during the day and is a holly terror in the evening.

Yep..Riley is the same way..Im so glad I read this!I always thought he was scared or skittish or something.Im glad to see its must be a yorkie thing..He loves to sit with us and be petted, but when I pick him up he gets all stiff, and wants right DOWN!. at bed time he will jump up on the bed with us once in awhile. but most of the time he will go lay under the bed,. they are funny, thats for sure..lol

Suzi can be like that too. However, mainly when she knows it is time to be brushed! Little stinker tried to hide, and makes me the enemy. She is very loving though, on her own terms. She kissess faces all the time, and is so excited when someone comes over. She is all over them . Suzi like her space too . I let her be, she will come and lay right down in my lap , and rest. However, I know she prefers to be the one in charge ! If I pick her up, or my son, she does not like it too much. She is very independent .

Good to know that I'm not the only one. Ninja's my first doggy so I don't really know what to expect. I thought I might have done something wrong when he was a baby or something!!

Its super surprisng and cute when he does want to cuddle though! Makes me feel loved :P

Lily will sleep with us and she is my shadow but nobody can pick her up unless she wants picked up!! She acts like a cat other than her BARK!!lol

KimberlySRN · 10-04-2009, 07:01 PM

Lace was sort of like that when she first came to live with us. She would rather sleep in her crate and not be bothered. She is going to be 9 in December and I figured it was because she was older and just didn't want to be messe with. Slowly she has started to want up on the couch and just lay next to you. She also barks when she wants to be let up on the bed. We took her on a hike a few weeks ago that she loved, so everytime she sees us put our tennis shoes on she will bark at us to be cuddle...so we take her with.

Smart cookie...

I like some of you, am so glad to see this thread too...I thought what am I doing wrong?...when I go to pick up Shay, he sometimes backs away, like he is afraid of me...which I could not undertand, since he is treated like the lil prince here...
Shay is my first lil Yorkie, and I just love him to bits!!!! and it was bothering me.
So, thanks for bringing this up!

ferraritiffie · 10-04-2009, 10:46 PM

When genghis is sleepy he is cute widdle cuddle muffin. However when he's awake he'll only come to an extent. Out of arms reach. He'll come check to see if you have treats and if you look like you may have treats he may have time for you

and he'll come a little closer do whatever trick you want ask for more and then be on his merry way. Though he is a sleepy head for at least 80% of the day

bailie · 10-05-2009, 05:06 AM

hi all my little girl is my shadow, she wants lifted constantly thats my fault

in the mornings she is wrapped in my dressing gown when i am wearing it and i get on with the morning chores lol, but my boy hates being lifted like u all say ONLY when he wants, when i lift her she stands a sertain way as i am left handed but when my dh lifts her he has to turn her the opposite way [hope u can understand what i mean] lol, the yorkie is sooooo smart

dtrahan511 · 10-05-2009, 07:12 AM

Well, I can see I'm not the only one to call my baby "my little shadow"! She follows me everywhere! Just like everyone else, she loves to cuddle, but on her terms. She "cries" to be picked up to lay in my lap anytime I'm on the computer (like now, LOL). She's so content! Love my little cuddler!

kezza · 10-05-2009, 10:52 AM

They are all different...maybe they get more clingy the older they get? my Pixie has got clingier now she's a bit older (2) she will sit on my foot when i am doing the dishes and likes to follow me from room to room while i'm busy...when i sit on the sofa she has to be next to me or she will nestle in my lap with her little head resting on my arm.

Does it have anything to do with him not being neutered?

Or is it because he's young and hes too hyper still? Is there something I can do about that or is it just his personality?

Omg I know this thread is super old, but I just have to comment. I was bored and randomly googling things about yorkies and stumbled onto this page. My yorkie's name is Ninja too and acts EXACTLY like yours. Except he was born in 2007 ((: super cute glad to know he's not alone out there with his personality. Everything is on his terms. Such a spoiled brat but I love him! Good to know Ninja has a brother from another mother!! ((:
