shorkies

The Shorkie is a cross between the bold Yorkshire Terrier and the playful Shih Tzu. This small dog has no idea how little it is, as it certainly has the attitude and personality of a big dog! This breed is dedicated, loving, and loyal and would make a wonderful addition to any home.

To maintain a Shorkie's long silky locks, it is essential to brush them daily or every other day. Keeping a brushing routine will prevent matting which can be painful for a dog. A Shorkie should be professionally groomed 4-6 weeks depending on how long you like to keep their coat. Oral hygiene is also important for all breeds especially smaller dogs as susceptible to dental disease and tooth decay.
