Shih Tzu + Yorkshire Terrier Mix · Small (5-15 lbs)
Shorkies get their long, flowing coat from both parents, making regular grooming essential. The coat can be straight like a Yorkie or have a slight wave from the Shih Tzu influence. Left ungroomed, the coat will grow to the floor and mat severely. Most owners keep their Shorkie in a practical short cut. The face needs extra attention since both parent breeds have flat to moderately flat faces with hair that grows into the eyes. Topknots or short face trims keep hair out of the eyes and reduce tear staining. Regular eye and face cleaning is essential for this mix.
