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! |
Hi. I have also had Labradors my whole life. I'll tell you honestly... if you want an easy-going dog, you should NOT get a Yorkie. Labs are 10million times easier to potty train and are much more easy going. Yorkies are very needy and many are yappy. Labs and Yorkies are like night and day. I was in for a rude awakening when I got Stewie. haha.
If you want a more laid back dog, rescue an older Yorkie or get a Maltese
