shorkie

Shih Tzu cross

A shorkie is a designer dog breed, a cross between a shih tzu and a Yorkshire terrier.

Like other hybrid breeds, shorkies are bred for companionship, combining the small size and affectionate temperament of both parent breeds: Our shorkie weighs about ten pounds and thinks she's a guard dog.
