How to Adopt a Yorkie and Chihuahua Mix Dog
Yorkshire Terrier And Chihuahua Mix – There are many benefits to owning a Yorkie and Chihuahua mix dog. The two breeds are healthy, friendly, and lovable, so they make great companions and are great for families. But one major drawback to owning a Chihuahua and Yorkie mix dog is that they aren’t as social as their bigger cousins. For this reason, it is vital to socialize and train your dog at a young age.
The Yorkshire terrier is notorious for barking, and the Chihuahua is known for being a lovable family pet. Depending on your preference, your Chorkie may take after this behavior, or be aloof around strangers. But be careful if you choose a Chorkie, as it can be easily overwhelmed and scary. Besides, they’re small and can’t handle a large dog and may enjoy being the only dog in the house.
This dog mix comes from Mexico, where it originated. About 1000 years ago, it was a popular companion for the Toltecs. Around the 12th century, it was the Aztecs who bred the Chihuahua in a smaller size. During the mid-1800s, the breed first reached the United States. The AKC registered its first Chihuahua in 1908.
If you’re looking to adopt a Chorkie, you can find one at your local shelter.
While you’ll be saving a lot of money, you’ll be helping a shelter dog live a better life. They’ll need regular checkups and vaccinations to stay healthy, so adoption is the best choice – especially if you have other pets at home.
The Chihuahua and Yorkie mix will grow to about six to nine inches in height and weigh between eight and fifteen pounds. The hair on the dog will be a mix of both parent breeds, but the Yorkshire terrier will inherit the silky long coat of the Chihuahua. It will have the rounded skull of a Yorkie and a long, soft coat like its Yorkshire terrier parent. The ears will be pricked or drop-eared, depending on how the parent breeds differ in color.
The Yorkie and Chihuahua mix is a cute and energetic cross between two small dogs. While they are cute on their own, they’ll make good guard dogs and watchdogs. If you have a small yard or a lot of children, you’ll find that this mix makes a great pet! This dog can be very playful and loves attention.
Roscoe is a very social dog.
He gets along well with other dogs and has learned to be house-trained. He is also neutered and has all of the required vaccinations. Despite his age, Roscoe had a fractured leg when he arrived at the MCACC. But luckily, surgery was not necessary. After eight weeks of recovery, he is ready to find a new home.
A few common medical conditions can occur in a Yorkie and Chihuahua mix. While there are no definite conditions, some common health problems can lead to premature death. One of these is Patellar luxation, which is a condition of the kneecap that can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. It’s more common in female dogs than in males.
The Yorkie and Chihuahua mix are great with children. They are affectionate and get along well with children, but they are not suitable for small children. The young pups of the Border Collie may be excited and cause mischief. However, they make good companions and get along with other animals in the household pack. They are also highly intelligent and love human attention.
