We just adopted milo at the age of 8 weeks at the beginning of august.
Her temperment seems pretty good, she’s very friendly and has a great personality.
The only downside seems to be that she has a tendancy to cry through the night every single night.
We are kenneling her at night, and through out the day while we are at work.
We tried to let her sleep with us, but the accidents she was having in bed were unacceptable.
But for the most part very good, brave (she doesn’t realize that she’s only like 2 lbs) and gets along great with other dogs, cats and people.
She’s VERY smart, she learned her name within a day and already knows quite a few tricks.
Also, we’ve noticed that she doesn’t shed at all, which is a major plus.
I’m very happy with our decision to go with a yorkie – chihuahua mix.
Crying
I brought my yorkie home at 8 week also and had the same problem he never really got used to being locked up he cried every night for weeks and weeks then he would not cry if it was dark but as soon as there was a glimmer of light he would start again.
Finally he is 6 monthes old now and can hold his bladder for longer now so he sleeps in my room in his own bed with his brother a Maltese I do have to take him to potty in the middle of the night it can be frustrating,but I would not trade a minute of it we love our little Max. I hope it goes better for you.
