I just read your question about shorkies. About 2 weeks we got a puppy that is around 7 months old from our daughter. She told us it is a shih tzu mix but wasn't sure what the other breed is. We finally determined yesterday that she has to be a shorkie because we were visiting the owner of a yorkie and comparing the dogs we could see the features of the yorkie in her. When I visited the I was really amazed - the first pictured shorkie on the webpage looked almost exactly like our little puppy. In answer to your questions and concerns, she is the best puppy I could ask for. She is intelligent, loving, likes companionship, listens very well (although we have an occasion slip up, but only 2 in the past 2 weeks which I think is exceptional), loves to cuddle and lay on my lap, only barks when strangers come to the door or when I get her excited playing with her. She will readily lay quietly and nap, too. I was reluctant to take her from my daughter because I am disabled and have trouble getting around. As far as I am concerned, she is the best possible puppy I could ever have and is a wonderful companion. She doesn't shed and easy to want to spoil. She does like to go everywhere we do and is already a member of our family. I hope this helps in your decision. |
