I have only heard Yorkazoo used once. LOL by a lady with a darling Opps litter
And that lady raised Shih Tuzs and she said it was pronounced SIT -SUE. She said "the daddy was a Yorkie, the mama is my sweet Shih Tuz. So she has three little Yorkasuzies." LOL |
LOL Teresa, I actually knew about the naming convention from being interested in tigers...love the white tigers!...and knowing people who were licensed for the big cats, etc. With mixes, though, I sometimes think the cuter, easier to say name often wins.
I thought you all might like to know, also, that t
he official pronunciation of Shih Tzu, as stated publicly by their breed club, American Shih Tzu Club, is “Sheed-zoo.” http://americanshihtzuclub.org/
There is a detailed explanation at:

Here is the ex-show Shih Tzu I get to puppy sit for, Sunny...she posed for me Christmas Day, along with my Yorkies, Brody and Mia, of course.
Did I miss the photos of your Morkie?
