Shorkie Info,
Shorkie Club Of America StandardWe developed the original Shorkie breed and have
established ourselves as the Shorkie Experts. I have taken
the time to help you understand what a Shorkie is. I have
written all of this information below to try to the best of
my ability to describe what a shorkie is. If you see this
information on any other website it originated here . Please
make sure they have been give our permission to use it.
There should be a notation that states they were given it
"Courtesy of priceless pups to use. We are currently
working with several breeder to help bring more shorkie
puppies nation wide that meet the standards of what we think
a shorkie should be. Although they are a MIXED BREED does
not mean that every shih tzu and yorkie should be bred
together to make babies. The parents should be a good
example of what each breed standard is separately so the
puppies themselves will come from a good gene pool. Please
be leery of Shorkies that are advertised at very low cost.
Often they are NOT intentional breeding and the breeder has
no idea what the breeding will produce. It takes much time
and much consideration for a mother and father to be deemed
fit for breeding of any breed and especially should be
considered when mixing of two breeds takes place.
The Mother is
always the SHIH TZU and the DAD is always a Yorkie father.
The reverse breeding is not "BY US" considered or recognized
as a shorkie. This reverse breeding does not produce
puppies that look what we think a shorkie should look like.
Now a days
there are many reasons why people
feel they can not have a dog. Some people feel they do not
have enough time. Others are concerned they do not have the
energy. A few are allergic to dogs and worry about getting
sick. No matter what reason or concern you have for not
getting a dog, I want you to know that there is a right
breed for you and it just may be the SHORKIE.
If you are one of the millions of those who work, you may
think you do not have enough time to care for a dog. What
you must realize is that not all dogs require a lot of time
just a lot of quality time when it is spent, playing loving
,cuddling and sharing just as it is with children. For
example, Shorkies do not require daily walks, because they
can get plenty of exercise just running around the house and
are content just being around the house in your lap or at
your feet.
You may be one who questions whether you have the energy to
walk or care for a dog. What you must realize is that not
every dog requires a lot of work. For example, a Shorkie is
very content in the
home.
Just sitting brushing him is enough pleasure for him as long
as the connection is made. Often in our
home
a good belly rub is not optional but
mandatory for our dogs, but still very layed back and we can
sit and enjoy them.
Since America is a clean country, perhaps you are one who is
allergic to dogs. Surprisingly there are many ways to
minimize allergies from dogs. Most people are really only
allergic to dog dandruff, so washing a dog often with the
right shampoo helps kill dandruff but that too can dry out
the skin ..so the Shorkie comes hypoallergenic already.
Allergies are not a concern because they do not shed or shed
their dander .
No matter how little time or energy you have, there is a dog
that will fit into your daily life. That is why we have yet
to find a Shorkie that could not fit into a family almost
perfectly. They seem to be the perfect combination of the
two breeds combined. If you carefully research the right
dog breeds, you can be sure to find the perfect dog. But we
are almost certain that now that you have come across our Shorkies
you search has come to an end.!!
Below I have written the
characteristics as I believe them to be to help define them
a little more in detai

The size of a Shorkie is the one thing that cannot
be guaranteed because they are a first generation
breeding but we do our best to be as accurate as
possible. They may be smaller than our best guess
or larger. Just as in humans we can only try and
GUESSTIMATE but we can in no way guarantee size

Overview: The Shorkie is sweet and playful. He's
also got plenty of spunk but is always ready to
lay and cuddle at anytime. He's not afraid of
strangers and loves to meet to friends and
animals to play with. The Shorkie seems
especially to dislike hot weather. The coat of
course when it is long causes them to be a
little uncomfortable in the heat. puppy cuts are
the preferred cut that easy to maintain and keep
clean all year long. Growing the coat completely
out is an opinion. but beware it is a daily
routine to keep and manage.
|
|
|
Coat: Is long haired if grown out completely.
again the preferred cut is called a Puppy Cut.
it gives the shorkie a youthful and teddy bear
like appearance. variety of colors including
black, red, beige, and sometimes white mixed in
that is called party are the colors of the
shorkie

that is intelligent, lovable, affectionate,
sociable, and cheerful. It seldom barks and is
for the most part very laid back. It is very
adaptable to many lifestyles. Very trainable
|
|
|
Temperament: This dog always behaves with
dignity, and gets along with other household
pets and children. It is gentle and always in a
happy mood with the tail going constantly as a
reminder of how willing he or she is to please
you.
|
|
|
Care: Grooming is required .. To prevent
tangles, the coat must be combed everyday if it
is full coat. Having the puppy cut is preferred
and very easy for all involved with little
maintenance involved.
|
|
|
Training: This breeds is very sweet and gentle
and willing to please but as with any training
process to include potty training your puppy,
consistency is essential in the training
