When you adopt a dog or buy one it should be a lifetime commitment, except for a few minor exceptions to the rule.
meaning for the safety of your children (biting issues)

There is a lot of training to be involved in having a puppy and you have to find out what works with your dog just like you would if you had a child. Every dog is different and the behavior of a dog has to be guided by its master.

You have a RESPONSIBILITY to that puppy. you made a commitment it needs love and affection and guidance, socialization to have a well balanced dog.

13 weeks is way to young to make any decisions like that!! All I can say is that maybe you are playing too rough to make your dog react this way.

Treat this 13 week old the way you would a baby bc it is exactly that!

lots of love and guidence and in return you will have an awesome lifetime friend;)

Just FYI...Gizmo was not very affectionate at first either. He did not want to be held or "confined" in any way. I don't think he was around people much as a puppy. After he came to trust me (after months not weeks) he started to slowly snuggle closer. Now he darn near pushes me out of the bed at night! :rolleyes: He will also sleep on my lap or my feet and watches for me any time I leave the room. He's even made a little bed for himself by my sewing machine to be closer to me.

Please give it time.

Yes, but she needs to know not all yorkies are snuggle bugs. I have 3, only 1 of which loves to cuddle and be held. The other two love me dearly, follow me room to room, but will not allow me to hold them for more than a minute. They are 5 and 3. So she needs to know that now and if that is a deal breaker for her, then better to rehome her baby sooner than later. Again, I am against rehoming for the most part, but this baby isn't going to be what she wants her to be, then I don't know that either of them will be happy. I think the animals wellbeing needs to be put first.

All I knew before was that my daughter was given a yorkie for Christmas and her's was so cuddly from day one. She got her at 8 weeks I think and she lived about 90 miles away. They stayed with me for almost a week and her pup was with me all day long. She followed me around and laid down on my lap when I was relaxing and was so sweet that I got attached to her. At the time I thought all yorkies had the same temperament. She'd come when I called her and when they left for their new home I felt the loss. So I told my husband that's what I wanted for Mother's Day. I saw and held Zoe for a few times within the couple of weeks before taking her home but I guess she was too young for her true personality to come thru. I guess...but I'm not sure.. I did read lots and lots about yorkies before I actually picked her up but everything I read suggested they were mild mannered little lap dogs. One even said if you wanted a lapdog to get a yorkie. So I thought that was going to be the case..But my little Zoe dashes about like she's on a mission...I do love her...but lapdog she isn't!! LOL
