I've never seen such a mix but I can imagine many results from it.....all of them bad.
I actually saw a "Dorkie" at Pet'Smart a while ago, and you're right, it is an odd mix. Imagine a dachshund nose on a yorkie's face, with yorkie ears and mouth, and a very looooooong body with wiry type hair. I heard the women tell people that it was a Yorkie...not a mix, but it was verrrrrrrrrry obvious.
She was kind of cute, though...and very loved.
Also, she was carrying her because she had problems walking!!! I think she was about 6 or 7.
