The Shorkie is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Shih Tzu. This tiny dog has no idea how small it is, as it certainly has the attitude and personality of a big dog! This mix is dedicated, loving and loyal and would make a wonderful addition to any home, including those living in apartments or families with children.

Yorkshire TerrierA small, affectionate dog, the Yorkshire Terrier has been a popular breed all over the world for decades. They were originally “ratters” - bred to catch rats - for the working class of England, and were one of the first AKC registered breeds after their move to the United States in the late 1800s. These days, Yorkies are known for being independent and feisty at times, but they learn very quickly and are keen to be near their owners. Yorkies are small dogs, typically weighing in at an average of 5-7 pounds, and, although nobody can guarantee any dog is hypoallergenic, Yorkies are often referred to as hypoallergenic because they have human-like hair instead of fur.

Shih TzuThe Shih-Tzu is one of the oldest dog breeds, originating in Tibet thousands of years ago. Known as the “lion dog”, these small lap dogs were prized by royalty as household pets. Shih-Tzus are affectionate companion and family animals, known to live long, healthy lives. They prefer to be indoors and, while often docile and quiet, are also playful and spunky. They become very attached to their owners and love to be spoiled. Because of their small size (they typically weigh in at 10-15 lbs.), Shih-Tzus are well suited for most living spaces, large or small.

Overall I had an amazing experience with puppyspot. When messaging the puppy managers there was a bit of a delay but they always had every answer for me so it was worth the wait.

We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for PuppySpot and its personnel. From the first phone call with Brad Goldsberry, the concierge, to the final phone call with the Puppy Manager, Erin Veloz, the experience was positive and the end result was wonderful. We got our perfect little Shorkie, Reba Yvonne, who provides all the cuddling and intelligence we could ever imagine. Brad was personable and so patient as we talked through the process for choosing and obtaining our puppy. When it came time to make arrangements for meeting up with the breeder, Erin Veloz answered all of our questions by remaining on the line until all of our traveling concerns were addressed, even encouraging us to take in the beach when we traveled. Her reassuring manner and pleasant personality were exactly what we needed for the final leg of our puppy journey. Our questions were answered along the way promptly and efficiently from customer service. The breeder was kind and nurturing, and obviously knowledgeable. We would encourage anyone looking for a puppy to contact PuppySpot. Without all of their help, we would not have found our delightful and amazing furry baby.

We love our new little girl. Puppy spot was awesome! Very fast to answer questions, get videos and pictures of our puppy from the breeder, and our puppy nanny was so cool sending pictures along the way to our baby girls flight. A big thank you to Susan, Jennifer, and Stephanie.
