I would definitely recommend this choice of dog. She’s eight years old now so I really do hope for another eight or longer. We kitty litter trained her so winter months she loves not going out. Summer time she will ask to go out but on a rainy day she prefers the litter box. She is very attached to me and according to my husband and children she sits at the door until I return. Her anxiety is very high then. We all love her and she’s well aware.

I got my shorkie from my mother after babysitting her for a month while my mother in law left on a moth trip to PR. She grew so attached to us that refused to live with my mother in law. After running from the house twice my mother in law gave her to me for fear a car would hit her and we would loose her. She has been my baby since 2016.

Our little Princess Payton is the sweetest dog either of us have ever had! She loves kids, dogs, cats & is completely attached to us. We take her everywhere with us, including on Vacations.

We got her at 8 weeks old from a local breeder. In the beginning we thought she looked like a “Baby Beaver” haha She’s now long haired, Sable in color, and Absolutely Beautiful. (Everyone that sees her just loves her) she will be 1 year old 1-7-19. She is the Love of our lives❤️

We just got our 11 week old Shorkie (Teddy) from a shelter of all places!! For way less than he should have apparently. He is the best puppy we have ever had.

He is so smart and loving. We have a 14 year old cat that is tolerating him, he just wants to jump on her and play. But she’s and old lady with cancer and isn’t having it. He gets along great with all dogs and children. He pretty much thinks everyone is his friend and just can’t wait to show them love.

He has slept through the night since the night we brought him home at 9 weeks and he will wake my husband up if he absolutely can’t hold it. He is almost fully housebroken during the day and does well at home alone. We do have a small bathroom with a baby gate that he uses instead of a kennel, but that is just what works for him.

He starts puppy school tomorrow but we have started getting him to sit with treats already. He hates leashes, collars harnesses and clothing of any sort, which is going to be an issue with our Colorado winter coming. Hoping classes help with that. He is a chewer/biter for sure! That is our biggest issue as his baby teeth are super sharp. We got him edible teething bones which he loves! That keeps him occupied for quite awhile. He uses his toys but just loves hands and fingers and toes and ears and noses, pretty much any appendage. Lol! He is so seeet and so cute. We are super blessed!

I have a 12 year old Shorkie named Mia. She is a trained Therapy Dog and just loves everyone. We dog/cat sit and Mia is very social. She gets along well with cats & dogs. I’ve had dogs all my life but Mia is the smartest and sweetest dog I’ve ever had. She’s a great guard dog with excellent hearing. She still loves to play. I love Mia.

Our Shorky is now 10 years old. We leave him with friends when we go on vacation and as of lately he is acting really strange at night. He does not sleep and just wants our attention and when he gets it, he still wont go to sleep. He is usually fine in the day but he is getting worse.

The Vet has given us a few medications to take and nothing physically is wrong with him through his blood works test. Any help we can get would be appreciated as its breaking our hearts to see him suffer every night.
