Aren't Yorkies lap dogs? Benji is 13 weeks old now and I do my best to keep him on my lap but he is so hyper he tries to jump off every time. Is this normal puppy behavior? He allows me to hold him for longer lengths of time when I put him on my arm and bring him close to my body (where he likes to nestle near my elbow)....but no luck with the lap thus far. Has anyone had a puppy like this that turned into a more affectionate lap dog later? I would really appreciate any responses. :) |
It depends on the personality of the dog. Puppies are usually rambuncious though thats part of being a puppy. Chachi would not sit on your lap as a pup. Now at 2 1/2 yrs old he will sit on My Husbands lap. He more likes to play though. Jewels has always been a lap dog even when she was a pup |
The hyperactivity will dissipate -- in 7 or 8 years!:p Seriously, these guys ARE hyper for the most part. There are exceptions as in all breeds, but they're generally very active little ones. Most of them DO like to be snuggled though. But it does depend on the dog. My boy has ALWAYS liked to lay on me. And if he is on the sofa or in a chair, he will be RIGHT beside me. And he will crawl up in my lap sometimes. |
Kodak may plop in my lap sometimes, but my 7month old is not having it. She'll lay next to me but she's not a lap dog yet. |
I think it depends on the dog how early the lap dog state starts. Lex it was immediate...being a man I guess that need for petting is about right ;0). Lulu is now 8 1/2 months and she is still so damn rambunctious. I can't get her to sit still long enough and let me have my way rubbing and cuddling her. She is 2 1/2 lbs of pure energy. |
I'm in the same place right now...Wobie is so hyper. He's getting better though. I think yours will calm down a little as he matures...but he may never be a true lap dog. |
The odds aren't sounding to good I will be so disappointed if he doesn't grow out of this. My husband finds the situation amusing because I am the one who insisted on getting a Yorkie companion for Chico and myself (although he thought a Min-Pin would be a better pick). I guess it is a little funny because in the beginning I wanted a puppy more for me than my American Eskimo but Benjamin is already favoring Chico.... and I guess I kinda deserve it. I love him just the same and maybe my husband a little less for finding it humorous. JK :D |
My experience has been that the boys become better lap dogs after they are neutered. |

OH wow! Diesel LOVES to snuggle! When I sit down he is right there snuggled up next to me. If I am standing up he will jump up and down till I pick him up and just hold him. Even as a pup he was never hyper. I can't really say that he is hyper at all. He loves to play but he isn't hyper. He is curled up next to me now sleeping. He is more playful now at 2 than he was as a baby. He isn't fixed either so I think every puppy will be different. |
Mine snuggle at night or when they are tired. I like rainy days because they just want to snuggle and nap all day. Loki likes to sit next to me but not ON my lap. Sammy comes over for kisses but then runs away. Sam will sit on your lap if she's tired, but NOT if she's in the mood to play. Yorkies are TERRIERS :D Even lazy Loki isn't a lap dog. |
Yorkies Are Definitely Lap Dogs 1 Attachment(s) At least in my experience, this is the 3rd yorkie I have, they are lap dogs. My two first yorkies were male and were less hyper than my female Kissie. But all three were all the time close to me. I don't know if it would be the same if i had more than one dog at the time. Perhaps when they have another dog to play with, the relationship with the mom is less strong. My Kissie is waiting the moment to see that I sit or I lay in the bed to be on me. She sleeps between the two pillows of my husband and mine, even if she has her own bed in our room, but she needs to be very close. That is the reason that if you want a pet, don't get a yorkie. A yorkie is a baby who wants to be treated like a real one and needs her mom all the time. YORKIES ARE THE BEST AND MY LIFE WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT MY PRECIOUS KISSIE. |
