Heya! A Shorkie is a Shih Tzu and a Yorkie blended. I've been having Jack for almost 1 1/2 years now, and he's the best dog I've ever had, and I've had a lot of dogs. I bought him from a Shorkie breeder in Abita Springs, LA. She breeds lots of kinds of dogs (
Welcome to the Puppy Palace~~~Palace Pups~~~) and even though they're quite pricey (Jack was $750), his parents evidently had excellent bloodlines. Jack is well mannered, very sweet, very loyal. He pottytrained quickly and he is extremely smart. If I sleep 12 hours, he will sleep with me, but if I want to play, he's ready to play in an instant. He's a very picky eater but the breeder (Joni, she is very nice and answered all my questions) says that Shorkies/Yorkies generally tend to eat at night. I think she may have let him go to me a little too young, because he follows me around everywhere I go, but that may also just be attachment to me. She does ship around the United States. Shorkies are good dogs. Jack is a full blown adult and only weighs 5lbs. He has an excellent coat and never has any medical ailments. I really would love another Shorkie and would gladly play the $750. My mom actually calls and BEGS me to bring him over because he is such a good dog.
Any more questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
