When I first adopted Adromeda, I started saying that to anyone who tried. So much can happen in just a second.

Well its a form of flattery because you baby is so cute but at the same time they should ask especially because the pup is young! But I agree people try to swamp bella sometimes when we go out which is very few far between. Your yorkie is adorable who couldnt resist!!

With all of the Yorkie-stealing going on there's no way I'd let anyone that wasn't a close friend pick up the little one.

There was a similar thread months ago and the response that seemed to get the most votes was "Look out, he bites!" If that doesn't stop them, just say "Look out, I bite!!"

Well I don't have a problem with my Maltese since she's so hyper, she starts barking her head off and jumping while circling and running all at once and does the bunny dance standing with her hind legs and clapping her front paws. Even man who are 6ft tall get scared of my lil one

Some even look like there confronting a big pitbull or something. And all she wants to do is play. My yorkie on the other hand is so timid but she's learning to do the dance also.
I don't believe it's ok to hug/carry them but I do let people pet my girls, while I'm holding them. I believe is a good way for my dogs to socialize.

NO need for my dog to get picked up, he picks who he wants to visit by jumping on their laps whenever he feels like it! it's funny, but not so funny, because I feel like he doesn't have manners lol I can't get him to stop doing that when he's at the dog park... he is always making human friends!! but it is a surprise to the person who all of a sudden has this strange dog on their laps.

Funny I came across this because just yesterday we were at the dog park and a lady brought her young daughter and puppy there and the daughter was running up to the other puppies (specifically a dachshund) and picking them up and they looked like they were teetering and about to fall...as the mother was just chatting away on her phone not paying attention to any of this

I could tell the girl who owned the dachsy puppy was very nervous but didn't know how to tell the little girl no so she just ended up leaving!

not fair!

LuvMyPuppE · 04-09-2010, 05:17 PM

that is so insane that an adult would just walk up and pick up a dog - or let their child do it! i won't even let my kids approach dogs. if we're close to someone with a dog, i tell them no when they get excited and start approaching....and usually the owner will say, "they can pet him/her if you don't mind." that's when i let them and only then - but they still don't pick them up. that's just weird.

people used to ask to hold my kids when they were babies and i would just say NO.

hi victoria,

it's funny to read all the responses on picking up the puppy without permission. Before I even read the responses, my answer was a resounding, NO. Puppies especially are unpredictable when your holding them. Even the most experienced handler can fumble occasionally. My puppies are like my kids. I wouldn't let strangers pick up my child either. If the approach isn't right, it can cause the dog to be forever skiddish. I have one that was effected by a small child grabbing him from behind. He now doesn't tolerate children @ all.
