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! |
Take it from someone who did rescue and i only took in puppies, I have had 10 diffrent breeds over the past 4 yrs, I don't rescue anymore, but all the breeds I have had were NEEDY and Barked from occassionally to constantly. I don't think a dog is for you, they are like kids, they NEED you all the time! Maybe get a fish or a bird or a cat!
