The Chorkie is a small, toy-sized companion dog combining Chihuahua boldness with Yorkshire Terrier charm; typically affectionate, alert and lively, they form strong bonds with their family but can be a little wary of strangers. They suit a range of homes, including flats, provided they get regular short walks, play and mental stimulation to channel their energy. Prospective owners should consider their delicate build and need for careful handling, routine dental attention and basic grooming (especially if the coat is longer), early socialisation and consistent training.
