Chorkie

Having a bias toward larger breed dogs I was hesitant to add a small dog to our family but due to the challenges of renting with a large dog and our personal need to always have a dog in the house, we decided to change it up and started our search. We found the cutest little chorkie, brought him home, and named him Owen. We've had Owen for 10 years now and I honestly cannot imagine life without him. The most LOYAL and also the SMARTEST dog I've ever known. I won't go on and on about how great this guy is but I will say, aside from his innate protective and territorial nature, he is hands down the most versatile and loving little beast. Training is easy as long as you are consistent. These dogs remember EVERYTHING. Huge vocabulary. Endless antics and personality. Loves big dogs and tolerates kids as long as they are properly introduced. Guards toys and food- do not recommend letting kids feed or play with toys as this breed can be somewhat aggressive and unpredictable when it comes to the little people! (Owen has been on the go from day 1 and is constantly socialized and this is still an issue!) He is the best cuddler and loves to get under the covers on cool nights. Curious and agile, he loves to hike and explore. Needs lots of attention and exercise to keep happy and healthy. Be aware of tracheal weakness in these breeds and never use a traditional collar- only use a soft harness where tension is NOT on neck or throat to leash and walk.

My baby chorkie Roxanne is a little love bug! My heart has literally grown since I've had her as a pet. She's extremely sweet, loyal, friendly, loves people and other dogs and even cats! She does get annoyed when she's not the center of attention but that is probably my fault as I give her loads of attention and love. Best dog I've ever had, love her to pieces 😊

She is very energetic, and curious, I live in a 55+ community and she has all kinds of neighbors who must play with her.

great loving and smart

I got Lulu when she was 5 months old after being locked in a crate almost all day every day. She was given to a friend at 12 weeks, but after having her for two months they couldn't keep her. I couldn't give her back to get crate home, so with resistance I kept her and have loved every minute! We have been together ever since. We are inseparable! Aside from me, her best friend is Molly a 10 month old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. We go everywhere together and my life is empty without her.

Great little dog! So loving, cute and smart! She is like my little baby and gets spoiled!

We rescued Kodi at 4m where he lived in a bathroom and never saw outside that. Very timid at first but now he has earned the nickname Madman! He runs so fast through the house while jumping from one piece of furniture to the other even jumps on our backs and the other dogs. He loves Toys especially ones that squeak but really doesn't matter as long as he can carry it in his mouth it's his. He wants to play all day long with short naps in between. He isn't very friendly to others at all though. He aggressively barks at my 18yr old son everyday and bites him on the ankles. He displays this behavior with men and most women too. He gets along with our 2 other dogs, hates our female cat but loves her 8wk old kittens. Supposed to be my sons dog but as mentioned before was not a fan of his from day one. He has latched himself onto me but does like my husband too. If someone shows him any aggressive behavior even once he remembers and will always try to bite them every meeting after. To me, he is the cuddliest, sweetest loving little baby and I adore him to death but most people would disagree. He is the most disgusting little creature I have ever seen. He doesn't care what he walks, runs or lays in, so he is always a mess. No amount of brushing makes a difference, always gross! He doesn't like to share attention and gets aggressive even if the other dogs walk by his toys. He can jump extremely high and clears pur fence so when I pull up in the car I have to be very careful not to run him over lol! I hav9to buy him new toys a few times a week to keep him from chewing my shoes, slippers and socks. And he doesn't understand sharing toys with the other dogs, he thinks they are all his and with his sharp teeth and strong hold, can snatch a toy from either dog at anytime and run like the wind! House training has not been easy, still working at it. He goes out many, many times a day but still hikes his leg on the chairs and other things too....infuriates me to no end! He listens to me but really no one else. He follows me everywhere I go and nips at my ankles to let me know he is there. He is also a homosexuality apparently and helps himself to our 8yr male Papillon lol! He will eat anything you give him and don't give him. He is not a fan of leash walking or car rides so good thing we have a fenced in yard. Overall, I adore him so much. He has sadly pushed my Papillon away a bit due to his jealousy. But from an abused dog eating his own feces to a dog who lives his best life and has found his soulmate (me), I believe he is happy and satisfied.

My husband and I have an empty nest. Our beloved Jack Russell terrier “Lucy Belle” passed away at the age of 14 years, and we hesitated adopting another dog because our hearts were so broken. During the 3 years after Lucy passed away, our neighbors Miniature Pincher would come visit us every day, as if she knew how much we missed Lucy. She helped heal our hearts, and when our neighbors could no longer keep their dog (long story) we really felt so sad that we wouldn’t have the visits from our little friend anymore. But it was then that we realized we were ready for another dog, but wanted a smaller one this time as we are getting older, because it’s easier for us to care for a tiny one now. My cousin found out we were open to having a small dog, and I received a message from his wife with a photo of the cutest little fella, a Chorkie they had taken in from another cousin who wasn’t allowed to have pets at the place he moved into. So here was this little guy, living outside most of the time, with three big dogs, and three children under the age of 6, and seemingly lost in the shuffle. We went to their house and took one look at this adorable little guy, and immediately knew he was going home with us! He is the sweetest and most well behaved little guy, and he loves other animals and people. Not snappy at all, and loves our cat too. He comes when called, and walks with me on the trails on the acreage we have out in the country. Occasionally he’ll take off sprinting ahead of me, but stops before going to far ahead and look back at me and wait for me to catch up. We renamed him “Doc” because he has healed our hearts. ❤️

He's the most loving, friendly dog i've ever met. Very smart, not yappy, loves kids, loves other animals, and he's just awesome to be with. I take him everywhere!

He's very protective, although he's generally okay with other people and other dogs when we go for walks. He loves taking his time to smell and explore everything when we go to the dog park, and hates running or being rushed. He's very sweet, and is easy to train when there's food involved. One thing he's learned is that when he barks, we'll pick him up so he'll stop barking, so sometimes he barks just to get attention. He's very smart, sweet, and he likes curling up under the blankets with me.

Shes very snappy and aggressive when she wants to play and I don't. She loves to stay under me

My chorkie henry is the smartest, most loyal, loving, adorable dog I've ever experienced in my entire life. Ive had him since he was 6 weeks old. He only plays with stuffed animals that have a squeek ball in them, crazy over bones he is obsessed with them, and loves treats! He was so so easy to train since the day i got him he literally would cry when he wanted to go to the bathroom and ever since then he tells me when he has to go by sitting there and staring at me and i ask him do you have to go potty and if he does he runs to the door. He knows so many words my husband and i swear he is a little human at times. He doesn't like strangers that much he comes off pretty shy unless he knows you. He hates hates HATES kids. We make sure to stay away from kids. The people that he does know such as friends of ours he gets super excited to see when they come around and very affectionate towards them as well. He is super smart sometimes it blows my mind how smart he is. He can be a little snippy at times mainly when he is tired. He's very overprotective of me and my husband who he knows as mommy and daddy. Also overprotective of his food, bones, and toys. I love him so so much its incredible the amount of love my husband and i have for henry and the amount of love he has for us to. He is like a son to us and i wouldn't ever want another breed in my life chorkies are amazing and so adorable.

She is really sassy and when she's sleeping she don't like no one to bother her gets a attitude when bother

He is sweet and lovable to me, but to others he can sometimes be aggressive. He loves to be wherever I am. He is so smart

Sassy is very playful and full of energy. When we are not feeling well she will cuddle all day. Sassy is a great watch dog, any sound she hears outside of the house, she is ready to attack like a pit bull. She is protective and affectionate as well. When it's time for bed, she is ready to play for about an hour and yhen crashes for the night. Love this dog so much. Perfect for our house.

He is a joy he is a fun little dog

She is very lovable but stubborn at times.

Frank is the first little dog I have ever had. Previously I have owned Rottweilers. I have never liked small dogs. But Frabkie has opened my eyes to the wonders of the chorkie. He is so loving, affectionate, playful, cheeky, strong willed, social, active, lazy at times, active at times, very outgoing and smart. He was rescued at 8 months and is still a bit skittish after all these years (hides under the bed sometimes if feeling a bit off). He does get tired and a bit grumpy at night. But I do to so I respect that. I take frank everywhere and he is usually well behaved. Sometimes gets a bit agro with other dogs when they are all on leashes. I love him so much.

I've had Rocky for seven years now and he is such a sweet dog. He's very friendly towards everyone, sometimes he gets little shy with new people but he's never barked or growled at them, he enjoys eating treats, fetching, and going walks with my other dog Chico who is a Rat Terrier.

She is energetic and fun. Bailey is super intelligent but she was a little hard to house train because she slept sound and that’s the only trouble I’ve had with her. She’s a great dog. She gets along with my Bassett and Lab mix too. She’s a great watch dog. She always barks if someone is around. She’s not too friendly with strangers though.

He’s a good dog, sometimes he doesn’t get along with others but that’s ok, he’s very playful but kinda gets tired easily, he’s easy to maintain

Madison is very snappy and/o aggressive, She hates kids, strangers, and other dogs, shes also very smart and catches on to many words asap.

never owned one, but she is a happy puppy want to always get in my lap and sleeps very close to me

She's still in her puppy stages. We were given Cookie as of Sunday May 20. She has been a very good dog. We also have a 6 yr old rat terrier/Chihuahua. He been teaching her things also.

We take the same walk everyday and nite

My Chorkie is six years old and we named her pebbles. she very kind and easy to train. shes obedient and loves to show her affection towards us. pebbles doesn't bark as often but will do so at times. she has a brother of a different breed and at first did not get along with him. she noticed that he wasn't going anywhere so she had to get along with him. she doesn't like puppies, she prefers to stay her distance. if other dogs come near her who are not leo (her brother) she get territorial. I've noticed that she doesn't like toddlers and always tries to bite them. so i keep her away from them. besides that she is sweet to anyone and loves to be petted and cuddled. she loves all the attention given to her.

Jack is by far the sweetest dog I've ever had! He's super loyal to us (me and my boyfriend), he doesn't like strangers or children he doesn't know BUT when we have guests over he's super gentle even with the smallest children. Other people describe him as brave, he LOVES playing with other dogs (the larger they are the better). We brought him in as a tiny puppy and we're a bit worried because we already had 2 other dogs, but they get along just fine and have become a little family, they even sleep together at night. He really needs to be groomed daily!!! It only takes 2 minutes so it's not a bit deal, but if I skip 1 day he looks like a stray dog and I sometimes have to cut pieces of fur out because it's impossible to groom him without hurting Jack. Jack is very active, but enjoys a good nap after a walk and leaving him alone (together with our other dogs) is not a problem. If he doesn't have a chew toy he will go for one of my shoes 🤣 We don't have a yard but live right next to a forest and huge open field where our furbabies run around and play with other doggies. My boyfriend didn't like both breeds (Chihuahua and Yorkie) but this is the only breed he wants to have in the future lol. As a true dogmommy I love all of my furbabies, but Jack will always have a special place in my heart.

I heard about chorkies but havent really gotten to know about them until my mom had found and bought one for my 21st birthday, she told me it was a girl. When I saw her for the first time, she was little and held onto to me when I held, she was 8 weeks old and so sweet and cute. I tried to think of a name for her, she looked like she could be a diva and then the name "Jazmyne" came and it fit. Ever since I got her, she follows me around and sees me as mom, she is like a diva; full of spunk and feist, but also is funny, clever, sweet, playful, friendly, cuddly, and so adorable. A few tricks that she knows is shake, "come" and sit. She loves to meet new people and dogs. When she plays she teases when you try to take away her toy that she wants you to take from her. I love my chorkie

Love my little boy so much! He has the most beautiful personality and fits right in with our family xxx

Its been a short time with him but he is very loving and funny and goofy full of energy
