About Shorkies

The Shorkie is a designer dog breed that emerged in the early 2000s from the intentional crossbreeding of a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie). This mix was developed to combine the affectionate, loyal nature of the Shih Tzu with the spirited, confident personality of the Yorkie, creating a small companion dog with a big personality. While not recognized as a purebred by major kennel clubs, the Shorkie has quickly grown in popularity, especially among urban pet owners and families seeking a low-shedding, portable, and affectionate companion. The breed reflects a broader trend toward creating “designer” dogs that offer specific personality traits and physical characteristics suited to modern lifestyles.
