When producing a litter of shorkie puppies, please beware of breeders that say tea cup shorkies for sale are near likely unethical. Ethical breeders know how many health problems can come with tiny shorkies, in order to exist consider a tea loving cup in Whatever breed the puppy has to be less them 3lbs full grown. At that place is NO registry that recognizes the give-and-take Tea cup when information technology comes to dogs. This is a word unethical breeders use to sale their dogs. In order for a shorkie to be 3lbs total grown they will have to be less and then 16oz at 10 weeks old. If a breeder has a shorkie that is that small-scale it could have liver, kidney or heart issues. Make sure they practise a bile acid test on the puppy that volition evidence liver issues, blood console should show if they have kidney issues, a good vet check should show if they take heart issues.

When looking at shorkies please remember the AKC (American Kennel Club) standard for the shih tzu is nine-16lbs and the AKC standard for the yorkies is iii-7lbs.

When breeding the off spring can take the size of either parent, thou parent or even bang-up grandparent, or up to five generations back. Then if the shorkie breeder has a 7lb shih tzu and a 4lb yorkie, but the grandparent of the shih tzu was 12 pound she can produce a 12 pound shorkie.

You have to remember when breeding a F1 shorkie or what some people call first generation/ the mom is a purebred shih tzu and the dad is a purebred yorkie the off spring can take the size of any i of the mom or dad'south side for up to five generations.

Now when you lot get into f2 or second generation shorkies, that is where you lot are breeding shorkie to shorkie you volition demand to go back five generations, but you volition what the last 2 generations gave you. If yous have brood them your self or if you lot have received them from an ethical shorkie breeder that kept the records.

Once the shorkie brood becomes a known akc breed( information technology will accept many years) we volition exist able to tell yous the size of your puppy at a young age. Until so the breeder can simply make an educated guess, y'all must rely on your breeder to be honest with you.

Personally nigh of our shorkies tend to be in the vii-ix pound range, simply we have had them every bit pocket-sized as 3lbs full grown and 12 pounds full grown. Information technology is my goal to have shorkies in the 7-9lb range.

You about retrieve the smaller the canis familiaris the more health issues they can have.
