Shorkie Puppies for sale

The Shorkie, also known as Shorkie Tzu, Yorkie Tzu, Shih Tzu-Yorkie, is a newcomer to the dog world and was developed by crossing a Shih Tzu with a Yorkshire Terrier. Since their appearance on the scene, they have proven to be a great choice for families with children, the elderly, and as companions, as they boast of their loyal, loving, friendly, and playful nature. At the moment, and because the breed is so new, Shorkies are not recognised by the Kennel Club or other international dog associations (as of March 2018).

FAQs

Shorkies, a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier, can be excellent family dogs due to their affectionate, playful, and loyal nature. They are small in size, friendly, and intelligent, making them suitable companions especially for families willing to invest time in their training, socialization, and care. However, they do require early socialization and consistent positive reinforcement training to prevent potential behavioural issues.
