Yorkie Beagle

Yorkie Beagles are designer dogs that were bred into being only a few short decades ago, during the 1990's. They were bred to try and capture the most desirable traits from the Yorkshire Terrier and the Beagle, both of whom were specifically bred to hunt. While the Borkie isn't a renowned hunter like either of its parents, it has inherited quite a few traits from both of them that are heavily reflected in the Yorkie Beagle's mindset, mannerisms, and looks. The Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie for short, was bred back in the 1800's to hunt down rats and other types of vermin. The Borkie retained that hunting instinct to a degree, and will also give chase to smaller creatures from time to time. Beagles are much older breeds, on the other hand, and those pups were bred to help old English hunters track down birds and other game. Borkie's possess a similar zeal to a Beagle's and are similarly inclined to stick by their master's sides as steadfast companions. Yorkie Beagles are relative unknowns in the animal; just like many other designer breeds, their histories are still in the making, so to speak. But the relatively few people who have had the pleasure of owning a Borkie can attest to the breed's great capacity for love, care, and companionship. Borkies may not be well known hunting dogs like either of their parents, but they are starting to gain traction as great family pets.
