Overview: The Shorkie is sweet and playful. He's also got plenty of spunk but is always ready to lay and cuddle at anytime. He's not afraid of strangers and loves to meet to friends and animals to play with. The Shorkie seems especially to dislike hot weather. The coat of course when it is long causes them to be a little uncomfortable in the heat. puppy cuts are the preferred cut that easy to maintain and keep clean all year long. Growing the coat completely out is an
opinion. but beware it is a daily routine to keep and manage.
