Shorkie Puppies for Sale

With some of the most popular dog breeds as parents, it’s no wonder that the Shorkie makes a great companion. Much like their parents, the Shorkie tends to be a small dog with a big personality. A mix of some of the most affectionate dog breeds, a well-socialized Shorkie is a loving companion breed that thrives on attention, loves being with their family, and bonds closely with them. They tend to be playful and energetic and also get along well with children. They even tend to be open and friendly with strangers once introduced. Their small size, especially as puppies, means that they can be easily injured by accidental rough play or falls. Because of this, they tend to be a better fit for older children who have better coordination, balance, and motor control and who know how to properly interact with dogs. Any interactions between young kids and puppies should be supervised. Their tiny size may not make them a good guard dog, but they often make alert watchdogs and will be more than happy to let you know when someone or something is nearby. They can be prone to barking a lot and at everything if they are not trained out of it early on. As such, it’s a good idea to start training your dog to stop barking to keep it from becoming a nuisance.
