Category - Shorkie

What they are:
The Shorkie is a tiny designer cross between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier. Small, compact and often lively, Shorkies commonly inherit silky, fine coats in varied colors and a bright, alert face.

Temperament:
Shorkies are affectionate, bold and sometimes a bit bossy. They thrive on human attention, enjoy playtime, and are often good watchdogs despite their small size. Early socialization helps manage any overprotectiveness.

Care & exercise:
Grooming depends on coat length—daily brushing prevents tangles and regular trims keep the coat neat. Exercise needs are low: short daily walks and indoor play are usually enough. Dental care and routine vet checks are important for small-breed health.

Best suited for:
City dwellers, seniors and families seeking a tiny, devoted lap dog who enjoys close companionship and moderate grooming.
