Temperament of the Shorkie
In spite of their size, Shorkies have a very sharp mind and a big personality. They are full of energy, so they love their playtime. Although some might argue that they don’t make the perfect apartment dogs, fortunately, their size contradicts this statement.Â
They do have to spend enough time outdoors in order to thrive, so it is recommended that you take your Shorkie puppy out for walks for at least one hour a day.Â
This dog breed is extremely popular with people who don’t mind having a so-called ‘dog shadow’. Since Shorkies love to interact with their human companions and are fiercely loyal, they’ll follow you everywhere around the house. They’re curious and entertaining, and they also love to spend time cuddling in their owners’ laps.Â
The Shorkie is not a quiet breed, so your dog will alert you with regard to intruders, other animals, children in the neighborhood, or anything else that might attract their attention.
