Question
i just bought a 9 month old morkie yesterday (1/13/09), and he is very anti-social! He runs away from me when i put him down. he doesn't want to be held, and he hides from me and my husband, is this normal, or what?!?!?!?!?!

Answer
Well you need to address this asap,
perhaps she is home sick and needs readjusment.
who had him before?
You need to keep him close to bond with you little treats given often and also lots of attention but do not fuss be calm and just get him used to being around you.
Walks will help as this is when dogs really bond with their owner. Have him in your arms whrn around the home.
When you go out reward with a treat when arriving home etc.
Does this help?
Please let me know how you get on.
Kind wishes.
