Question-New puppy - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have 2 yorkies and I live with my boyfriend who also has two dogs, and My little new baby is 4 months and loves to play with the other dogs, he is so cute and my only concern is he doesnt feel like he has any interest in people, only the dogs, My other yorkie isnt like that, he loves me and loves to play but we still have a strong bond . Upon getting the new baby, I was hoping to form a special bond with him but he only seems to have interest in the other dogs, which i'am happy about

Do you think this will at all change? I know he is young and just a puppy so maybe that is just the behavior now, I guess I'm going on my first expereince with my First yorkie .

Thank you
( Hugs )

I think you should handle him more. Take him on walks, just the two of you. You do want to socialize him with people, especially yourself. Make him learn to come to you for treats and such. He should warm up if you work with him just a little.

I cant say from tons of experience...

But, crazy lil Yorkie baby had only interest in the big wide world and not me.

Around two years of age, when we started agility, we have formed a bond that cannot be expressed in words. Goodluck

I would also have some play time with just you and him or a walk or some thing.
