He is adorable, and the pictures are excellent!

He reminds me a lot of Eddie, the coloring, the rambunctiousness at that age. But Eddie mellowed out at about a year. He's now the most affectionate dog I've ever owned.

Post more pictures, PLEASE!

It's not something that happens every day.

When my two dogs are outside, I can call them until I'm blue in the face to get them to come in. And, they won't come in until they're ready. But, if I say, "Sammi is here. Come see Sammi! (my granddaughter)" -- they about knock me over getting into the house.

I can even say, "Come see who's here!" and they'll about knock me over getting into the house.

Or - they can only hear a car coming (one whose sound they recognize), and they're at the front door - oh so excited - even before the car's engine has been turned off.

BUT - when push comes to shove - it really is us that they love, trust, and rely on. I took my two dogs to the lake last summer. We were out on a dock (that was moving) - a strange and frightening place for them, and, believe me, they had no time for anyone else but me. They were frightened and wanted to be right on top of me the whole time - on my lap! The second time we went to the lake, they were no longer afraid - and I got very little attention from them that trip and haven't since..... They are more secure now and can just be their adventureous little selves without needing my protection or care.

Hello

First of all i want to say that this forum is wonderful.
A lot of great info and great people :)

I have a yorkie puppy who is 4.5 month old,and he is real hyper.
He can't sit even for a minute, always need to do something.
The thing is....he is not a lap dog at all.
he HATE to sit on my laps, and don't like when people touch him. (he is very friendly but he only want to play and play).
When i hold him, it's like a huge punishment for him, he start to cry and try to do everything to get out :(

I wanted to ask , what do you think... there is a chance he will became a lap dog when he will grow?
Or he will stay like that forever?

I just want to know from your own experience with your yorkies if you had similar problem.

Thanks
and i am sorry about my english :)
