Breed Information

Overview

The Chorkie is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).

A Chorkie is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire Terrier. These little dogs tend to be playful and energetic. They also tend to be loving and affectionate companions to their families.

This breed may not be recognized by the American Kennel Club, but they are recognized by other notable dog organizations. The American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, International Designer Canine Registry, and more all recognize the Chorkie.

Temperament

These little dogs are loving and affectionate companions. They crave attention and affection from their favorite humans and thrive on being around them. A Chorkie will tend to follow you from room to room as you move around the house to stay nearby. They tend to do well with children and other dogs. Because of their small size, they can be easily injured by young children, so they may be a better fit for older children who know how to play gently with a dog. They can have a high prey drive, but tend to do well with other pets as long as they have been raised together or socialized properly with them. They can be initially wary and suspicious of strangers and strange dogs, but tend to warm up once introduced as long as they have been properly socialized. They can be prone to barking, which can become excessive if left unaddressed. It’s a good idea to train your dog to stop barking early on to keep this from becoming a nuisance behavior.
