| Dorkies Has anyone heard of a Dachshund and a Yorkie being breed and called a Dorkie? I didn't know if my sister was kidding or not so I thought I'd ask the experts.

| I have heard of that, she wasn't kidding, but I have never seen it. Seems an odd combination.

YT 2000 Club Member | I've heard of it to, had to laugh when I read the name the first time I ever read about one, I thought, good Lord, my son would have a ball calling one of them "Dorkie" if we ever owned one, lol.

| A guy at my office just bought one like 2 weeks ago. He is very cute, very welled mannered and a joy to have aroung. His face, with a smidge longer muzzle, looks like a yorkie, hair coloring & texture like a yorkie but long short body like a daschaund.

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | Here's a link to show what they might look like. Personally I think my Chorkie (chihuahua/yorkie), Duchess in my avatar is a Cutie. BUT some people don't like any mixes. It's all what you like. I have seen the chiwennies and they are cute. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/dorkie.htm It also depends on which parent is which breed. I have seen some chorkies that look more like chihuahua because dad was a chihuahua. I was told they tend to look more like dad.

| Yes! Sal is one. He is a dorkie they can be very expensive it depends on the breeder and what they charge. If the breeder is a register with the American Canine Hybrid Club then they will cost more. Sal brother was sold for $750.00 his sisters were sold for $800.00-$850.00. I was very lucky that the lady sold him very cheap. Check out his website www.myspace.com/s002 |
