| Chorkie puppies? i just found out that a co-worker of a friend's yorkie is pregnant and the father is a chihuahua. this person is not a breeder and wasnt planning on breeding and im really not too sure what the whole story is but there are little chorkie pups on the way! apparantly the pups are due early february and would then be ready around may...which is just around the time i was thinking of adding a little sister to our family for dexter! now, again i dont know the whole story as it was kinda mentioned to me in passing, but i have sent my friend out to collect more info for me. but IN CASE the pups are not spoken for and i meet the "breeder" and all the other stuff...has anyone had experience with chorkies??? i know its hard to know what the personality would be since they are mutts, but does any one have pictures, information or own a chorkie?? any info would be great!!! thanks for reading |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I'm with her I agree 100% All Chorkies will look totally different and there willbe no way to determine what they will look like. The only thing is though you can count on is that they will be adorable! |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Very cute! The one looks like a perfect 50/50 mix! My Chi's have the BEST personality. Very, very happy. (and hyper! LOL) But they get along well with my yorkies and everyone else. I love them! |

| Do they shed? Chis do and Yorkies don't, so what happens with a mix?

| I don't know what happens as far as shedding, but I'd get a hold of the breeder, and see what input they could give you. The picture is adorable.

| I'd say as long as she's only selling them for a reasonable adoption fee then go for it. I would never buy a "designer dog" from someone who breeds them intentionally but I know accidents happen And these puppies deserve a good home. Mixes are wonderful pets too. Who knows how they'll turn out so far as looks or if they'll be shedding, low shedding, or non-shedding. As long as you like chihuahuas and yorkies then you should like however the mix turns out. Hopefully this breeder will place these pups with a spay/neuter contract and use any money she makes to spay and neuter the mother and father!

I would never buy a "designer dog" from someone who breeds them intentionally but I know accidents happen [QUOTE] oh i TOTALLY agree with the whole designer dog thing..not really into supporting people making money off of cute names for pups (bug, jug, labradoodle..etc) with no care for the health of the pups. my friend gave me a little more info..so like i siad, this person is NOT a breeder and her yorkie got pregnant by accident...still not too sure how this "accident" happened but something about a family member watching the pup...and here we are. im scared for the mother yorkie because this person apparantly has NO breeding experience. i gave my friend YT's info to pass onto the co-worker so that she can look into it and hopfully have a safe delivery for the pups and momma. they still arent sure how many pups there will be, but think there are only two. apparantly they are not charging for the pups and just looking for friends and family to give them to. there are a few people in line before me but i let them know that if the puppies end up being not spoken for to let me know. then i will go for a visit. a little disappointing since i really thought that this was going to be my new little girl that i could watch grow up right from the start, but it looks like its not going to happen oh well, the search continues for a sister for dexter. my little girl will be out there somewhere!! |

| I'm pretty sure that Chip is a Yorhuahua, but he looks predominately yorkie. He was a rescue so its hard to definitely say if he is or not. From the ones I have seen there is a wide spectrum on their coloring, size, personality. In Chip's case he has the coloring of a yorkie,the shape and tail of a chihuahua, his hair doesn't get very long, and has minimal shedding. Chip is also on the larger side of yorkies being 15 lbs.
