I have to agree with you Lorraine 100%. The term 'designer breed' makes my head hurt. IMO, it's a fancy name put on a dog that's no more than a cross bred pooch. There is no standard because what's being created isn't a recognized breed--therefore, you don't have to worry about if the dog's temperament, appearance, physical stature, etc conform to set standards....there aren't any. But it's called something cute and marketable and sold as a specialty.:rolleyes: Sadly, the reality of it is that the "breed em because they sell" mentality exist and will until the next passing fad comes along.

I believe PT Barnum summed it up best when he said, "There's a sucker born every minute." And there's always someone there to capitalize off of them too.:(

I would also suggest you check with a rescue group, even with a Yorkie or Chi rescue group as I know they often place cross bred dogs as well. Good luck and welcome to YT!:)

I went to Petfinder.com and pulled up these listings according to your location.

Hope this helps :-)

I know in a few weeks if I'll have any Chorkie's.

I was breeding my Duke to my sisters Chihuahua before he passed away.
We don't know if it took yet or not.

I post pics if get get babies.

They look like little rottweilers.

Yeah thas what i was thinking when i saw the pics... you never know what your going to get as far as the look as well as the health.

Good Luck finding a healthy chorkie

Yep, I had one that looked EXACTLY like this one!

We had to rehome her because things just weren't working out here with us. I had a lot of problems with her. For one she began chewing the corners of the walls in the house every chance she got. She REFUSED to be house broken. Those issues I could have worked with. BUT.. our other2 dogs didn't like her at all. I have a German Shepherd and a Yorkie. Shep would growl at her and run and hide every time she went near him. Diesel would end up getting rough and trying to bite her because of how aggressive she was. If she was sleeping and we moved her she would bite us. So I thought it would be better to find her a home with no other animals.

All mixes will look different. You just have to be careful and look long and hard before deciding to get one. Make sure you get to see the mom and dad so you can see what their temperament is like. Good luck.

You've got to be kidding?

:thumbup: thinking the same as you.

Oh my goodness... :thumbdown

Let's hope so.:( There is no amount of money in this world that would convince me to get anything from that site!:mad: :thumbdown

I was thinking the very same thing.

Wow, they sure do have tons and tons of animals don't they? I'm sorry, but I also would NEVER buy from them.

Don't think it's a joke!!

again i am sorry
 

i am keeping my mouth shut.

hey....please don't take it personal...Your puppy in your avatar is just adorable and I think alot of us have bought from places we may see in a different light down the road

ask ME where I got my cocker Tessa 13 years ago. I'm embarrassed to say it was a small scale puppy mill. If I knew then what I know now I'd never have stepped foot in that place.:( but then again - I wouldn't have my Tessa either.

I saw your post on another thread that your feelings were hurt by some of the comments that have been made. I am sorry that you feel that way, but please kno whtat I doubt that was anyone's intention--I know it was not mine. :)

You posted a link for a site, from which you obtained (indirectly) your wonderful furbaby. However, normally when a link is posted, people tend to click on it and check it out. When you click on the one you posted, you are not taken to a breeder's site where a dedication and love and care have been devoted to a breed and upholding the standard so many have worked their whole lives to promote and protect--instead, you find a site for a self proclaimed "Ranch" where not only do they sell puppies, but MANY different breeds, mixed breeds and not only that, but cattle, birds, bengal cats, minature horses, and even Wallaroos and Wallabies!:eek: That being the case, I'm not sure why the comments and reactions recieved were so shocking.:confused:

I'm sorry. I understand that you are happy with the experience that you had in dealing with these people and I am very happy that you love your furbaby, but I think you would be hard pressed to convince ANYONE here that this place is doing what is right for these dogs...or birds...or horses...or kangaroos...or tigers or elephants whatever other wild beast they are breeding as "PETS.":(

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am curious if the OP ever found a chorkie. I am currently looking for a pup and am trying to make a decision of what i want. I have thought about a silky. I have also thought about a chorkie. please respond if you have ideas about either breeds. PLEASE no puppy mill discussions i promise to research ALL suggestions and make an EDUCATED decision. Thank you!

ive seen an ad in my local paper for chorkies, if interested in the papers name and website, pm me

Isn't this a YORKIE board?
 

I'm confused - I visit this site on a regular basis because of what I found was alot of dedicated yorkie owners and breeders that ultimately want what is best for this breed.
Chorkie? What is that about? Doesn't seem appropriate for this boards forum.
Its one thing for it to accidently occur - but to intentionally breed like this?
Sorry, no offense - just my gut reaction. Since you put it out there for everyone - expect to get some concerned feedback. I'd be disappointed if you didn't get!!

chorkies - OOPS!!
 

HI! I don't know if you found your chorkie or not but the breeder where i got my Kissy and Angel had an OOPS breeding (chi/yorkie)and she is selling her pups on her website. This is a GREAT breeder and many of my freinds have also received yorkie puppies from her. The website is www.trenastoys.com. click under yorkies and you will see the OOPS listing. It is funny to read about it. The puppies are ready to go and there is 1 F and 1 M left. If you are still looking for one, i would recommend this breeder:thumbup: ...she is NOT a puppy mill and is very proud to show anyone around her place. She treats all her dogs as her babies. She lives outside of the D/FW area in Texas.
Good luck finding your new baby!!

Here is a chorkie up for adoption...he's a cutie!

www.petfinder.com has atleast two babies.
 

Hey there. I was just on petfinder.com and found atleast two adorable little chorkies. Go to www.petfinder.com and type in your area and yorkie and you'll see them. They are babies. Really precious and the best part is they are in rescue. You'll not only save a life, but your pup will have all his shots, vet care and will be spayed or neutered. It's a win win for both of you. Best of luck. Elaine

i think this is an old thread. I saw on another thread that she found her dog.
