| Yorkie and a s**tzu? Hey YT! I had a question I was hoping someone might have the answer too. Our family dog, Ginger, a s**tzu, passed away about 5 months ago. She was 17 and 1/2 years old and just the best dog in the world. My mom has been devistated and sad for months. Luckily, I had gotten Laila a short time before Ginger passed away. This was akward at first, but has turned out to be the greatest thing for her. Without feeling like she was replacing Ginger, she was able to love and help care (she babysits during the day!) for baby Laila. She now adores Laila and can't stop talking about her. She takes her everywhere, even her Dr.'s appointments when she can. We are debating the time to get her a new puppy. She loved the small size of the Yorkie, so we had thought an Imperial s**tzu would be a great option for her. Then yesterday I told her I had heard of a Yorkie-s**t (is that right?) and her eyes lit up. It was her two favorite dogs in one! She was very intersted and asked if I could find her some pictures for her to look at. I thought someone on here might have a Yorkie-s**tzu, and would be willing to share some photos I could present to my mother. I have also attached some photos of Ginger. She is so cute! She was a beautiful s**tzu. These were taken about a year ago. We were teaching her to swim in our new pool - she did great! The others were taken shortly before her passing. Hope you enjoy them!

| They are called Shorkies, here is a website that shows a picture http://www.yorkiepup.com/yorkiemixed.html, I heard they are not good to buy from per someone on this website. I have never dealt with them but I just know that they had a picture so that you could see & also show your Mom. They are definitely cute. That is really sweet of you to try to make your Mom happy. I hope these pictures help you to decide what you want to do. Good Luck to you both!!!

| Oh yeah, if you go to the bottom of that page you will see a Shorkie as an adult. It is adorable.

| I have a Shorkie, at least she's supposed to be. She looks and act EXACTLY like a shih tzu so I don't think she's mixed. Sorry I'm not much help. But I did want to let you know that there is a breeder, maybe more than one, on the internet with them. That's where ours came from. The price is outrageous and you get no documentation with the dog. All that came with Ali when she was shipped was the shipping tag saying she was too young for a rabies shot. The breeder is in Washington, I just wanted to warn you about them. They have tons of puppies listed on puppyfind.com and I think they're probably a mill. |

Wow 17 1/2. I have a 14 1/2 year old Shih Tzu. She is in great health though other than a little arthritis in her hind quarters. She still eats & drinks good. So she could possible be around another 2 or 3 years. Sorry I can't be of much help with the Shorkie. Good luck in your search.

| Thanks everyone for all the pics, support and information. My mom will be so excited to see the pics I have for her. She was in a bad car accident a year ago and has not been able to go back to work. She watches my Laila all day and goes to PT and Therapy and what not. We are hoping to find her the perfect companion shortly. Thanks again for all you help and support! YT ROCKS! P.S. - Can someone tell me how cute Ginger was! At 17 she was still so beautiful - I love the pool shot!!! That was her floatie.

| She was very very cute. She also looks very happy in the pictures. You guys must have taken very good care of her for her to get to be such an old lady. By the way she didn't look a day over 12. |
