Are your yorkies cuddlers? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gennies · 12-14-2009, 05:08 PM

Wow! I'm so shocked over all the cuddlers! Barley only cuddles in bed and Bijou wants to play, play, play. Neither want to sit on laps and cuddle. They'll lay beside me on the couch once they are played out but that's it.

I'm so jealous...LOL But they do have to be every where I am.

Jasmine is a real cuddle bug. She is with me ALL the time and if ever I sit down she is immediately on my lap. She is lying right beside me right now. She sleeps beside me every night. She is my widdle baby girl and believe me she knows it.

My Luna is a velcro dog, always wanting to be snuggled, but my Izzy is a bit of a loner. It's luck of the draw, really, but maybe if you get the puppy early (12 weeks or more) you can hopefully "make" them a snuggler

Sushi-Mushi · 12-15-2009, 03:06 AM

Sushi is not a cuddler...at 8.5 months all he wants to do is run, play, hide his bones and toys, hide his bones again, and again, and again

...lol always looking for the perfect spot. He does follow me everywhere but doesn't like too many hugs & kisses

Have you noticed a difference in boys vs. girls? And one more question, would I be able to tell if the puppy is going to be a lover when he/she's a puppy or are all puppys pretty affectionate and they kinda grow out of it or not?

Thank you so much for your time! I look forward to some answers

Here's a honest answer....there is NO WAY TO TELL.....

When we got Mika, if any dog should have ended up a cuddler, it should have been her. She had the undivided adoration of two women whose whole life revolved around her. To my daughter's dismay....she was not a cuddler....now don't get me wrong, she has her moments, but she's an independent lass.

Now Maya, on the other hand it like a ball of clay, mold me make me Mommy. She has gotten a little independent recently, but she is still the bigger snuggle bunny.

I've seen loads of posts on yorkie talk from some people who even question if their yorkie even likes them. So it's a chance you take. It's not a breed that universally snuggles, but you have a good chance of getting one like that.

Misti1 · 12-15-2009, 03:20 AM

Also Mika HATES to be picked up, she panics, like we are going to drop her or something, and then eventually does the "let me down" sturggle that shows she has had enough of being off the ground. She came from a pet store, so she still might be traumatized by the puppy mill she probably came from. Maya on the other hand came from a good breeder, and is totally different. She's not afraid of anything.

Apple is the female, and not affectionate or a cuddler...Buzz is male, and very affectionate and cuddly...I think if you get a quieter, more layed back yorkie (like Buzz) there might be more of a chance for a cuddler...But I have NO scientific reasoning for this, just that Buzz is more mellow and laid back, than Apple, and he's my cuddler...

ranant12 · 12-15-2009, 06:25 AM

Lord yes, both of mine are cuddlers. Sometimes I think they are permantly attached to my lap, LOL. I even went so far as to buy a baby shoulder sling that Diva sits in to give my arms a break. Davinci is following in his mommy's footsteps and wants to be a cuddle bug 24/7.

My mom has a snorkie that is her permanent shadow also. If she's sitting down her lap is covered with 10 lbs of fuzzy doggy love. LOL

bellanares · 12-15-2009, 06:35 AM

My baby boy Ares can be a cuddler only when he gotten enough play time and exercise in. lol He's three months old and a bundle of energy! I have to say when he's ready for cuddles he is sooo sweet!

Yorkiekids · 12-15-2009, 06:42 AM

My Piper is a real cuddler. Personally I find the boys to be more cuddly, although reading through the posts see that a lot of the girls are cuddlers too. Let us know how you make out, and if you need help in selecting one let us know everything you can about the pup and breeder, and we will surely help you the best we can. Also, our breeders are very good, and you might want to check with them.

Buster55 · 12-15-2009, 05:45 PM

We had a rescue Cairn for many years. She was a one person dog and would lay next to my side when I was working. Very loyal and affectionate. Now I have Belle and she is a no-holds-barred cuddler. None of this laying next to you lol. She has to be in my lap. If I'm sitting in my lazyboy watching football she is either in my lap or on my shoulder as close to my neck as she can get. The wife is jealous - lol.

Winston08 · 12-15-2009, 05:52 PM

Winston is definitely a cuddle bug. He will lay on my lap for hours if I let him. He has moments where he prefers to be on the other end of the counch but 9 times out of 10 he will always end up on my lap. I work from home so he has me there all the time. Even when I can't be there for him to cuddle with he brings every toy he owns and leaves it at my feet. It's almost like he is saying "I'm here to play so whenever you're ready choose a toy and throw it for me".

He is my first Yorkie and by far one of the most amazing things I've ever brought into my life - he truly brings a smile to face every day

m2thev · 12-15-2009, 06:01 PM

Lilee is the best of both worlds - a playful, energetic and fun loving pup, but a cuddle baby too. She loves to lay in my lap and sleep on top of me

LilMissy · 12-15-2009, 06:39 PM

My Missy is not very snuggly. She likes to play hard to get LOL! Dora on the other hand, is super-duper snuggly.
