Frequently Asked Questions

How Big Do Shorkies Get? Shorkies, a hybrid mix between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier, are compact dogs, typically reaching an adult height of 6 to 14 inches at the shoulder. Their small size makes them ideal for apartment living, as they easily adapt to smaller spaces and enjoy being close to their family.

How Much Do Shorkies Weigh? Adult Shorkies usually weigh between 4 to 10 pounds. They inherit their small frame from both parent breeds, making them light and easy to handle. Shorkies are ideal for individuals or families looking for a small, affectionate companion that doesn’t require a lot of space.

Do Shorkies Shed? Shorkies are known for minimal shedding, thanks to the low-shedding traits of both parent breeds. This makes them a popular choice for people who want a cleaner home and less pet hair to manage. Regular grooming is recommended to keep their coat tangle-free and smooth, especially if they inherit a longer coat.

Are Shorkies Hypoallergenic? While Shorkies are low-shedding, they are not guaranteed to be fully hypoallergenic. However, they produce fewer allergens than many other breeds, making them more tolerable for people with mild allergies. Routine grooming, including brushing and bathing, can further help minimize dander and allergens.

How Long Do Shorkies Live? Shorkies generally have a lifespan of 13 to 16 years. With proper care, including a nutritious diet, regular veterinary visits, and moderate exercise, many Shorkies enjoy a long, healthy life filled with companionship and love.

Are Shorkies Good with Children? Yes, Shorkies are known for their affectionate and friendly temperament, which makes them great companions for families with children. They enjoy playtime and are typically gentle, although supervision is recommended with very young children to ensure that interactions are gentle due to their small, delicate size.

Are Shorkie Puppies Easy to Train? Shorkie puppies are intelligent and determined, though they may show a bit of independence at times. While they are quick learners, training may require patience and consistency, as they can be a bit stubborn. Positive reinforcement techniques, like treats and praise, work best to keep them engaged and cooperative during training.

What Is a Shorkie? The Shorkie is a designer dog breed created by crossing a Shih Tzu with a Yorkshire Terrier. Known for their affectionate, lively personality, Shorkies are popular as companion pets and thrive in homes where they receive plenty of attention. Their small size, loving nature, and minimal shedding make them ideal for a variety of living situations, from apartments to larger homes, and they fit well into families, singles, and seniors alike.
