What is a Yorkie Chihuahua mix?

A Yorkshire terrier-Chihuahua mix is a type of hybrid dog known colloquially as a "chorkie." It has become popular and is now recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club.

The breed has medium or long hair and might have floppy ears. It is typically tan in color, stands about 7 inches tall and weighs 5 to 7 pounds. The chorkie can live as long as 15 years and may suffer the same health concerns of most other toy breed dogs, including hypoglycemia. It is a low-shedding breed suitable for families and ideal for individuals who live in apartments. A chorkie is a fairly high energy dog, but may tire quickly.
