Is your tiny more of an independent /or/ lapdog?

[buffy512]

Im hoping my boy ends up being my little cuddler. I for some reason already here with me already! Im hoping they are just the most perfect fit.!

[Kaylee32]

I am sure they will be! There is nothing better than a cuddly yorkie, and luckily both of mine love to cuddle. Cant wait to see pictures of yours!

My boy is a 14 pounder and loves to cuddle and give kisses all the time. He's six years old. My girl in the other hand is one and a half, seven pounds and a bundle of joy. She is stubborn, never comes when called. Spoiled and hates to be held. She just loves on my hubby all the time. I guess im the bad guy, grooming, meds, baths, dressing her. She runs from me. I wish she would give me loving the way she does with my hubby. But I still love her!!!

i love love love zoey's personality she has a mind of her own she loves to play...but she also loves to cuddle and give kisses...only minor issue i have is when i go out i with her if im holding her and someone comes to pet she will growl at them or if shes on a leash she will start barking or and hide behind me lol...i shouldn't be okay with that buts its super adorable when shes doing it i have to smile when shes acting that way. She only acts like that if she doesnt know them but she warms up afterwards. She is super smart pup i should train her further...its almost as if she understands me when i talk to her. If i get angry and yell her name she wont run and hide she will come with her tail down under my feet as if saying im sorry! and i cant resist and pick her up lol. She always puts a smile on my face

[amyazer]

oh not sure how big she will be as she is about 6.5 months and 2.4 pounds maybe 5-6 pounds!

Mia is the largest of my 3, she is long and tall, but she is my biggest baby, she is 100% lap dog, and she loves to be carried. She gives people hugs and I am not kidding you, she wraps her paws around my neck and holds on, when I try to pull she chokes me! It is super adorable. She is almost 10 but wavers between 8.5 and 9.5.

Mini is my mildest mannered girl, she knows she is Queen and her nose is always in the air, she is just at 7lbs, she will sit in your lap 24 hours without hesitation.

Vinnie is my night time love...hit the sheets and like a typical male hes all over me...but the rest of the time he is running and playing...he will however, assume the position in my arm whenever I take him anywhere, he turns into a stuffed animal I swear, not a peep out of him, just watches everything! He weighs in at 5lbs.

I've never seen a difference between a so called Tiny and a large dog! I had a sheepdog that thought she was a lapdog......I also had a pitt who really thought he was a chi!! OMG these pups are all just so amazing...I've loved them one and all, big and small!

I'm glad my mastiff never tried to be a lap dog. lol

I think I have the best of both worlds. Gunner loves to play, but he also loves me and loves to snuggle! He is a riot when he gets the zoomies, then he just crashes on my lap.
He is charting to be around 5lbs, and each week he is exactly on target. I don't think he will be a tiny, but he is small enough for me. I actually wanted a pound or so bigger, but he is now perfect for me.

Sounds a lot like Cookie, though lots of times when she runs fast it's because she has snuck one of my socks out lol.

[Faboosh]

Mr. Faboosh is always calling Billi a mama's girl, but she's so independent I don't notice it sometimes. She can run off and ignore me and do her thing, but she still needs to know where I'm at at all times. If she doesn't see or know where I am, she'll start to panic & that bums me out a little

She's a bossy little thing. Right now she's giving me her "hey, down here!! play with me!" barks. She can tell the difference between me being in class (I do online college) and me just messing around online. If I'm just messing around, oh boy! I better be ready to stop and play when little Billi says so! She's a lil sassafras, but I love it

[Hrossen11]

Mine are half and half. My boy teddy will cuddle on his own time. My boy bear prefers to be held or in your lap most of time.

My Aussie/pointer mix who weighs 90 lbs tries to be. When he was young he used to try to climb on the couch and lay on your lap. Now at 12 years o,d he resigned to lay at my feet or at my side

[chattiesmom]

Butterbean started small, and stayed that way. He was 3.1 oz. at birth and now at three years he is a little over 2.5 lbs. He is the most independent, brave, outgoing and demanding Yorkie I've ever seen. Early in his life he went to keep my friend/neighbor Liza in line. Believe me, Butterbean rules the house - what Butter wants, Butter gets.

When the dogs cornered a 'possum on the back porch, it was Butter who went into "attack" mode while the other dogs stood off and barked.

When the old pony mare Flower (rip) came into the back yard to eat, Butter would nip at the hair on her feet and swing from her tail. Flower was always a gentle soul and just ignored little Butterbean.

When the roosters fly into their back yard (dumb move on their part) they are fair game and Butter is on them like ducks on a bug. Many don't make it out of the back yard without losing a few feathers and at least one didn't make it out at all .

When Butterbean makes his EVIL NOISE none of the dogs in the house mess with him. Not the yorkies, the shih tzu, or even the miniature Schnauzers.

And when Butter isn't outside causing havoc, he is making demands of Liza to pick him up, or put him down. Get him a treat, or a different kind of treat, or pick him up again. He is spoiled, catered to, doted upon, he knows he's the boss and he is much loved.

Nobody messes with "The Beaner".

Here's a puppy pic of Butter...

[GizmosDogShop]

Gizmo is a good mix he is super independent most of the time but at night he comes and snuggles up on the couch with me while I watch TV or mess around on the computer. And of course at night he is a snuggle butt and now that it is starting to get cooler at night he will sneak under the covers in the middle of the night to snuggle up even more.

This is my typical night relaxing: Gizmo on one side Cici on the other me not being able to move

I always say Chevy is like a teenager, he likes to be left alone He is almost 5 lbs, but swears he's 50 lbs the way he tries to dive off the bed onto his at night. What I would give for some yorkie cuddles
