Small, fierce, and loyal, these pups inherited some of the best qualities from both of their parents. These adorable pups make great apartment dogs for active adults and seniors. They are best suited to small or single-person households, but can also do well in larger family environments. Be warned, they have a tendency to be yappy. If you are looking for a fierce, huge dog personality that comes in a tiny package, a watchdog who will alert you to any visitors, burglars, and mail carriers, and a friend who will love you unconditionally, then the Shorkie just may be the pup for you. Despite their unfortunate status as a designer breed, you may find these mixed breed dogs in shelters and rescues, so remember to adopt! Don’t shop! Learn more on Dogtime
