Chorkie Puppies for Sale

Chihuahua boldness, Yorkshire Terrier flair

The Chorkie crosses a Chihuahua with a Yorkshire Terrier. Both parents are tiny, both are famous for acting considerably larger than they are, and neither has ever been described as retiring. Put them together and you get a very small dog with a very complete sense of self.

Yorkies were originally ratters in Yorkshire mills and mines before becoming a fashionable companion, and that terrier working past is still in there. Chihuahuas bring the alertness and the intense attachment to their person. The combination is lively.

What owners actually notice

Chorkies tend to be busy. They investigate, they follow, they supervise. Owners describe a dog that wants to be involved in whatever is happening and has opinions about deliveries, other dogs on the walk, and anyone approaching the front door.

They also tend to be genuinely affectionate with their own people, often choosing one favorite lap and defending its use with quiet determination.

Coat, and why it varies so much

Yorkshire Terrier coat is fine, silky, and grows continuously, more like hair than fur. Chihuahua coat can be short and smooth or longer with feathering. A Chorkie can inherit any point on that spectrum, which is why grooming advice for this cross has to be given per puppy rather than per breed.

A silky, long-growing coat wants brushing most days and a professional trim every six to eight weeks; without it, it mats. A shorter coat is a weekly brush. Ask us about the individual puppy’s coat when you visit, because the difference in workload is significant.

Whatever the coat, keep hair trimmed away from the eyes and check ears regularly.

Teeth, and why they come first

Toy breeds carry a full set of teeth in a very small jaw, and dental care is the single most useful habit a toy-dog owner can build. Start touching your puppy’s muzzle and lifting its lips in week one, move to a finger brush, then a soft toothbrush. Aim for most days.

Training a small dog properly

Chorkies are bright and quick to learn, and the terrier in them means they respond well to games. Keep training sessions to two or three minutes, use tiny treats, and finish on a win.

Two areas need deliberate work. Housetraining takes a strict schedule and patience, because small bladders mean frequent trips. And socialization matters enormously: a confident small dog that met the world early is a pleasure, while one that did not can become reactive to strangers and other dogs.

Supervise all contact between a dog this small and young children, and give the puppy a quiet crate or bed it can retreat to without being followed.
