Dorkie Dog
INTRODUCTION
The Dorkie is a mixed breed dog — a cross between the Dachshund and Yorkshire Terrier. Laid-back and loyal, these pint-sized pups inherited some of the best qualities from both of their parents These adorable pups are not overly yappy and would make great companions for seniors living in apartments. While they’re well suited to small or single-person households, they’ll also thrive in larger family environments with older kids, as they demand quite a bit of attention. If you’re a traveler, this pup makes an easy travel companion and would love to tag along, wherever the road leads you.
