TheYorkshire Terrier is a small but incredibly charismatic dog that has become the perfect foundation for designer breeds. His silky coat, lively personality and hypoallergenic nature made him a favorite for home mixes with other breeds. It is from this mix of energy, gentleness and beauty that unique combinations have been born, each with its own history, style and temperament. Below we will dive into the world of the most interesting yorkie mixes.
1. yorkipoo (Yorkie + Poodle).
This mix is a true explosion of intelligence and beauty. The Yorkie-poo, or Yorkadoodle, combines the smartness of a Poodle with the playful gentleness of a Yorkie. Their coat is a soft, wavy, often resembling caramel curls that doesn’t shed and is well tolerated by allergy sufferers. This dog is not just cute – he is also very intelligent. Yorkie-poo quickly learns tricks, understands the emotions of the owner and can even show intuition in stressful situations. However, such intelligence requires strain: daily games, tasks, and attention.
2. Morkie (Yorkie + Maltese).
Imagine a little snowflake with beady eyes – and you can almost see Morkie. This mix is a symbol of gentleness. His white or creamy coat with golden or silvery hues, silky to the touch, gives him the appearance of a little angel. However, behind this angelic appearance hides a real companion – a doggie that feels the mood, wants to be near, gently cuddles in moments of sadness. They rarely bark, do not like conflicts and are created to live in love. They are often breed by seniors or families who want an “anti-stress” dog.
3- Shorkies (Yorkie + Shih Tzu).
This mix looks like it was made for cartoons: chubby face, big head, expressive eyes and a “plush” coat that undulates down the sides. They are very social, playful and love to be the center of attention. They are ideal for active families with children because they quickly bond with all members of the family. At the same time, they are sensitive creatures: if they are yelled at or punished, they can become withdrawn. Shorkies are like a child with a deep inner world, which must be loved and understood. Their grooming is a separate story: you can make a mini lion, a bear or leave a long fancy coat with a bow.
4. Chorky (Yorkie + Chihuahua).
Small but dangerous – that’s exactly how you can describe Chorky. This is a mix for those who love bright, emotional and very vocal dogs. Outwardly they are tiny – often under 2 kg in weight, with huge eyes, standing ears and a firm belief that they are the masters of this world. The Chorkie’s character is a cocktail of independence, stubbornness and gentleness. They can be jealous, possessive, do not always get along with other animals, but they adore their owner. Ideal for those who want to have a miniature, but bright friend. It is important to properly educate Chorkies from childhood, because they quickly “settle on the throne” in the house.
5. Yorkie Pom (Yorkie + Pomeranian Spitz)
Yorkie-pom looks like a real bear – fluffy round face, tiny body, energy fountain. They are constantly moving, jumping, playing, can jump right up on your hands. Yorkie Poms often have a fiery red color, but there are also cream, chocolate or black variants. Their temperament is cheerful, stubborn, sometimes even explosive – but all is forgiven for that incredible look. They need to be combed out regularly and kept free of tangles. These dogs demand attention and don’t like to be left alone because they consider themselves the center of the universe.
6. yorkie (Yorkie + Dachshund).
This mix is a true exotic. From the Dachshund – elongated body, short legs and a little serious look. From the York – light coat, bright eyes and lively temperament. Yorkies move very funny – like little sausages with the energy of an engine. But behind this look is a stubborn and independent character. This is a dog that has an opinion, loves to dig, loves to follow odors and can spend hours doing independent activities. They need to be brought up with patience: they are smart, but do not always obey the first time. The Yorkie is ideal for an active person who appreciates individuality in everything.
7. Borkshire (York + Bichon Frise)
An airy cloud with a heart full of love – that’s how a Borkshier can be described. Their coat is like a marshmallow: fluffy, light, shiny. And their character is just “sunshine”: gentle, affectionate, friendly. They get along well with other animals, with children, with guests, with the whole world. Borkshires are not made for loneliness – they need company and lots of hugs. But their grooming requires attention: without regular combing they will quickly turn into a ball of tangles. They are ideal for those who want a “soft” dog – gentle, without aggression, who will lie on your chest in the morning just to be near you.
8. Yorkie-Peck (Yorkie + Pekingese).
This is a dog with a regal expression on his face and an extremely stubborn but very funny personality. The Yorka Pek has a lush mane around its head, a slightly flattened muzzle and eyes that say, “You serve me.” They have a very strong personality and do not like to be treated like “mere dogs”. Yorkie-Pekies need respect and tenderness. But, if you find contact with them, they blossom and become the most loyal friends. Plus – they love to be photographed, perfect for owners who keep their dogs’ social media pages. It’s important to remember: this beauty requires frequent grooming – coat, eyes, muzzle folds – everything needs attention.
9. York-Toy (York + Toy Terrier).
Real pocket elegance. This mix is made for urban life in a “doggy bag bow” style. They are fragile, graceful, sometimes even resembling a small statue. York-toys are very sensitive – to emotions, cold, change of mood of the owner. But their love is boundless. They love to be near, snuggle, fall asleep on your chest. However, it is important to know: these dogs can be easily traumatized – they can not be dragged by the legs, fall from the hands, leave unattended. This is not a toy, but a gentle creature that requires careful handling. For those who want a real miniature heart with gold glitter.
10. Yorkie Griff (Yorkie + Brussels Griffon).
One of the rarest but most expressive mixes. The Yorka-griff looks like a dog with a director’s personality: serious, intelligent, with a deep stare and a muzzle like a little old man. Their coat is either hard or soft, often with long “whiskers” and “beard”. The character is independent, intelligent, a bit of a cat in a dog’s body. The Yorkie-Griff will not run around you, but will be close by, observing, evaluating and drawing their own conclusion. Ideal for those looking for an unusual but charismatic breed with a big soul and a slightly philosophical outlook on life.
Care of Yorkie mixes
What all Yorkie mixes have in common is that they require regular grooming. Regardless of the type of coat, these dogs do not tolerate neglect: they need combing, hygiene, time to adapt to new forms. It is best to entrust the care to professionals who understand Yorkshire Terriers and designer mixes. In V.O.G DOG SALON in Kiev work groomers who do not just cut, but create an image – taking into account the character, shape of the face, style of the breed. Here they understand that each mix is not a template, but individuality, which deserves a careful approach and a bit of glamor.
Conclusion
There is no perfect mix for everyone – there is only one that is right for you. Someone wants a gentle friend, someone – a smart energizer, someone – a dog with character and charisma. But if the basis is a Yorkie, one thing is certain: it will be a dog that will give you a sea of love, joy and beauty. And this is the most important thing.
