From Shih Tzu to Fox Terrier? Meet the Shorkie That’s Revolutionizing Dog Breeding! If you’ve ever admired sleek, compact breeds with spunk in perfect proportion, the Shorkie is quickly becoming the star of the dog breeding world—and a game-changer in modern canine design. Blending the adorable knowing eyes and luxurious coat of a Shih Tzu with the sleek, energetic elegance of a Fox Terrier, this hybrid is redefining what we expect from designer breeds. ### A Perfect Breed Fusion: Shih Tzu Meets Fox Terrier The Shorkie is not a formally recognized breed, but rather a clever cross—intentionally or naturally—between a Shih Tzu and a Fox Terrier (sometimes called a Fox Terrier mix or a hybrid blend). Designed more as a designer companion than a purebred, the Shorkie unites two beloved small breeds in a package that brings together charm, intelligence, and boundless energy.
