The Shorkie, also known as the Shorkie-Tzu or Yorkie Tzu, is a lively and affectionate designer crossbreed between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier. With their compact size, playful spirit, and loving personality, they make excellent companions for first-time dog owners and apartment dwellers alike. These energetic little dogs thrive on attention and are happiest when included in all aspects of family life.
The Shorkie originated during the 1980s or 90s, part of the "designer dog" movement in the United States and Australia when breeders began intentionally crossing purebred dogs to combine desirable traits. While their exact origins are unclear, the Shorkie quickly gained popularity for its mix of the Shih Tzu’s charm and the Yorkshire Terrier’s spunk. Their appearance varies, but most have long, silky fur that can come in a wide range of colors. They have expressive eyes—often brown or blue—and pendant-shaped ears that frame a sweet, intelligent face. Despite their small stature, Shorkies are full of personality and confidence, often acting much larger than they really are.
Playful, social, and affectionate, Shorkies are loyal companions that bond deeply with their families. They do not like being left alone for long periods and may develop separation anxiety if neglected. Healthwise, they are generally sturdy but can inherit some conditions from their parent breeds, such as hypoglycemia, glaucoma, and liver disease. Their long, silky coat requires daily brushing to prevent tangles and matting, as well as grooming every six weeks to keep it in top shape. Bathing every two to three months helps maintain their soft texture and fresh scent. These energetic pups enjoy short walks, playtime in fenced areas, and socializing with other dogs. Since they lack an undercoat, Shorkies shed very little, making them a great low-shedding companion for allergy sufferers. Learn more about the Shorkie.
