Hello! I just joined the forum today and performed a search for "Shorkies" but did not quite find what I was looking for.

I've been thinking about getting a dog for a long time and am/was considering a Yorkshire terrier. My past dogs (many years ago) have been Labradors. I'm living in a small condo with my mom that allows small pets.

I would like a dog that isn't yappy or is needy. I'd like to be able to relax with the dog and not have it jumping around too much. I don't mind daily grooming. A breeder I emailed thought Yorkies would be too needy for me.

So in my Internet travels I came across a cute mix called Shorkies. What is the temperament of a Shorkie? How much terrier personality does a Shorkie have? What else do I have to consider with this breed? I am not planning on showing, just having an easy-going companion.

Thanks!
