History: A cross between the Shih Tzu and the Yorkshire Terrier, the Shorkie is a designer dog breed that originated sometime during the 1980s or 90s. While mixed breeds existed for decades prior, breeders didn't begin to intentionally crossbreed purebred dogs until the late 20th century. This occurred mostly in the United States, but some breeds were created in Australia as well. The Shorkie was likely a product of this "designer dog craze," but it's impossible to know for certain, as few designer dogs have a well-documented history. Despite unclear origins, the Shorkie became quite popular over a short span of time. Today, the breed is part of multiple canine clubs for designer and hybrid breeds.

Temperament: Shorkies are active, playful, and good-natured dogs that make excellent companions for many different types of people. These dogs are at their happiest when spending time with their human "pack." Whether it's a walk in the woods or relaxing on the couch, Shorkies thrive on being involved in family activities. Due to the strong bonds that Shorkies form with their owners, they do not tolerate being left alone too often or for too long. It's not uncommon for Shorkies to develop separation anxiety, so they aren't recommended for anyone who plans to be out of the house for large portions of the day. As long as they receive the attention that they crave, Shorkies are well-mannered, highly trainable dogs.
