How big is a shorkie?

A Shorkie, which is a mix of a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier, can range in size quite a bit. Here's a general idea:

* Height: 6-10 inches tall at the shoulder

* Weight: 4-14 pounds

Factors affecting size:

* Parent breed: A Shorkie with a larger Shih Tzu parent will likely be bigger than one with a smaller Yorkie parent.

* Genetics: Each puppy inherits a mix of genes from both parents, making size unpredictable.

* Nutrition: A well-nourished Shorkie will likely be larger than one with a poor diet.

It's important to note: There's no set standard size for Shorkies. They can be small enough to fit in a handbag or larger and more athletic.

If you're looking for a specific size, it's best to talk to a breeder and see their previous litters to get an idea of what to expect.
