Chihuahua + Yorkshire Terrier Mix · Very small (3-10 lbs)
Chorkie coats depend heavily on which parent coat they inherit. Chihuahua-dominant coats are short, smooth, and require minimal grooming — just regular bathing and brushing. Yorkie-dominant coats are longer, silkier, and need more attention. Some Chorkies fall in the middle with a medium-length, slightly wavy coat. Regardless of coat type, these tiny dogs are often anxious during grooming, so patience, warmth (they chill easily), and gentle handling are critical. Their small size means grooming appointments are quick. Focus on nail trims, dental care, and ear cleaning.
