| Yorkie chihuahua mix... Anyone have one?? How does appearance compare to a yorkie? Temperament? Easily trained? Good with other small dogs? Any info at all would be appreciated. |

| Appearance is unpredictable. Some may resemble Yorkies more, some will look all Chi. Depends on the genes of the dogs that mated. Disposition and training depend on the individual dog.

| Most yorkie chi's i see are a solid color and look like a chihuahua with wirey hair. Just Google: Yorkie Chihuahua cross and you'll get a lot of pictures! Everything else just depends on the dog. |

| I have a yorkie/chihuahua. She has a sweet temperament; is very smart and learns easily; playful and loving; and loves my other 2 dogs.

| i agree.. i think alot of characteristics would depend on the dog itself, you never really know for sure when mixing, just like with people. you never know which genes will be stronger than the others. But they are so cute though

| I have a lil boy called Clover, he is a chorkie. Like the others have said, its very difficult to determine what s/he might look like, as with any crosses, you just never know! In Clover's case, he has the huge ears and curly tail of a chi but his colouring and coat texture is mostly silky like a yorkie and is about the size of a small cat. Temperament too is really up to their parents' but in general I'd say they're very clever and sassy little dogs. I've heard that both of these breeds are fairly hard to toilet train (almost a year old and still a few accident from time to time) and both are also notorious 'yappers'. However, I have trained Clover not to bark from an early age and now only barks for a lil while when someone is at the door. I guess good training can help deal with these! I like the fact that he is a cross, hopefully hardier than purebreds (I couldn't afford to buy a dog with super good genes, lineage) and his insurance is cheap too. He is much stronger than either of the breeds' pure counterparts, we sometimes go for 3 hour woodland walks and I am the first to get tired! He doesn't eat very much so I can afford to feed him the best kibbles, and is a perfect travelling partner. I work at home and do craft fairs around the country and he is always sat by the stall attracting customers! He also has a massive fan base on facebook, (Clover Fuzzyface) and let me know if you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer them for you. |
