Be prepared to inherit all the medical conditions that the dashund and yorkie breeds may have. After you've satisfied yourself on all those issues strongly consider where the puppy is coming from and its current environment. If all is well then go for it. I can't wait to see what they look like as adults cause they sure as cute as puppies. |
I grew up with Dashund's, and they have pretty good temperment for the most part. They are generally a "one person dog" in that they have obvious favorites. If you have small children already, they usually adjust well, but if kids are in the future i would not recommend it. they can be very jealous if Mommy has another baby... my parents currently have a 6year old dauschund, Zoey. She is very friendly, but very protective as well. She isn't very fond of small children at all. I am 20, and we have had 3, and none of htem have ever bitten anyone, they are growlers though.
I will be getting a new apartment in August with a back yard, and am looking for a dorkie to keep me company!
