What is a Shorkie

What Is A Shorkie

We started the Shorkie Breed over 18 yrs ago here in the USA

I am The Original Shorkie Breeder and the founder of

The Shorkie Club Of America

www.pricelesspups.net has become the leader in online educator about Shorkie Puppies with our vet and have dedicated these years to keeping accurate lineage and proper breeding practices.

I am sure through out the years there we accidental breedings of Shih Tzus and Yorkies that were had. But we are where the Intentional breedings started happening so many years ago

We are the ones that came up with the name Shorkie and put them on the Dog breed map for the world to see and brought them to the internet. .

We dedicated years and energy to this breed and to having a registry specifically built for Shorkie Puppies and Shorkie breeders around the world to be apart of!

Unfortunately many breeders do not qualify or have not applied.

We have 17 breeders to date that are registered with us and have done everything to ensure you will get the best genetically sound baby possible.

Our registry is free and open to all Shorkie breeders that are willing to do the proper genetic testing and have a vet (paid for by the Shorkie Club of America) do a in home inspection to ensure you are getting a home raised puppy and not a breeder running a kennel.

As the Founder Of The Shorkie Club Of America My Goal is to make a clear distinction for potential shorkie owners between a just a shorkie breeder and ethical dedicated shorkie breeder, In a nut shell, we have done all we can to take the risks out of adopting a new shorkie puppy.

This Shorkie Club Of America is the only group dedicated to the ethical development and establishment of the Shorkie breed. If you see any of this information on any other sites it has been taken from us.

The Only Official Shorkies are from the breeders that are

registered with the Shorkie Club Of America

SOLIDS & PARTIES

Overview: The Shorkie is sweet and playful. He's also got plenty of spunk but is always ready to lay and cuddle at anytime. He's not afraid of strangers and loves to meet to friends and animals to play with. The Shorkie seems especially to dislike hot weather. The coat of course when it is long causes them to be a little uncomfortable in the heat. puppy cuts are the preferred cut that easy to maintain and keep clean all year long. Growing the coat completely out is an opinion. but beware it is a daily routine to keep and manage.

Coat: Is long haired if grown out completely. again the preferred cut is called a Puppy Cut. it gives the shorkie a youthful and teddy bear like appearance. variety of colors including black, red, beige, and sometimes white mixed in that is called party are the colors of the shorkie

Character: The Shorkie is an independent breed that is intelligent, lovable, affectionate, sociable, and cheerful. It seldom barks and is for the most part very laid back. It is very adaptable to many lifestyles. Very trainable

Temperament: This dog always behaves with dignity, and gets along with other household pets and children. It is gentle and always in a happy mood with the tail going constantly as a reminder of how willing he or she is to please you.

Care: Grooming is required .. To prevent tangles, the coat must be combed everyday if it is full coat. Having the puppy cut is preferred and very easy for all involved with little maintenance involved.

Training: This breeds is very sweet and gentle and willing to please but as with any training process to include potty training your puppy, consistency is essential in the training process. They are very trainable and our puppy parents are amazed!
