Kioko is very affectionate, but she is NOT a mommy follower. She is fiercely independant...almost cat-like that way, actually...and so she can seem somewhat aloof. She's such a cuddler, though. If you want beagle luvvins from her, all you have to do is pick her up and put her on your lap or on the sofa next to you and she'll just flop down and let you pet/scratch for a LONG time. She even full-out sleeps on laps. For all that, though, she doesn't necessarily want to be attached to me all the time, and she doesn't have an intense desire to please.
These are pretty basic qualities of the beagle breed...some call it "beaglishness."
Marco is a lovely pup, and as long as he's affectionate, playful and eating well, I wouldn't worry too much about the rest.
