1. Yorkipoo (Poodle & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
This cute and curly pooch has been one of the most popular Yorkshire Terrier crosses around. Besides its adorable looks, the Yorkipoo or Yorkie poo has also been regarded as an excellent canine companion.
A cross between a standard or a miniature Poodle and a Yorkie, the Yorkipoo was first designed as a lapdog that is suitable for people with allergies.
Yorkipoos have medium-length coats that have normal density, making them low-shedding dogs.
Generally, their coats are softer than most dogs, with slight waves or curls that they take after their mini Poodle parent.
Like the Poodle breed, the Yorkipoo can also come in different colors, such as tan and black.
This Yorkie Poodle mix is as fun-loving as its parent breeds. Yorkie Poodle mixes also love exploring and being active.
They are sweet and loyal companion dogs that enjoy the company of their owners and families.
2. Chorkie (Chihuahua & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Mixing two of the world’s smallest dog breeds brings a tiny pup with a big personality.
This cross between a Chihuahua and a Yorkie is known as a playful, outgoing, and silly pooch that goes well with active households.
Coming from two tiny parent breeds, Chorkies can weigh between 8 and 15 pounds with a height of around six to nine inches tall. They can be either smaller or bigger than an average Chihuahua or Yorkie.
Chihuahua Yorkie mixes are considered hypoallergenic with their low-shedding coat. But if a Chorkie inherits its Chihuahua parent’s coat, it might shed a bit more, especially if it’s a long-haired Chihuahua.
Chorkies usually have light-colored and silky medium-length coats that come in various colors. The coat color can either be a solid color or a blend of their parents’ coat colors.
3. Morkie (Maltese & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
A Morkie is a mixed breed between a purebred Maltese and a purebred Yorkie.
Also called Morkshire Terrier, the Morkie is known as an energetic and affectionate companion dog that can also be an excellent watchdog.
They tend to be curious and have the tough side from the Yorkie parent. They are also often wary of strangers. Typically, Morkies notify their owners through barking when they notice something different.
Taking after the Maltese parent’s friendly nature, Morkies also love socializing with other dogs and people.
Within the household, these lovable fluff balls tend to latch on to one family member, but they still get along with others.
Appearance-wise, Morkies’ coats can vary in color, and Morkie puppies have coat colors that can change over time. They can range from white, brown, black, or a mix of these colors.
4. Yorkichon (Bichon Frise & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Another little eye candy that came from cross-breeding a Yorkie with another small dog breed is the Yorkichon. This Bichon Frise Yorkshire Terrier mix is known as an alert, loving, and smart dog.
As a mixed breed, a Yorkichon may have a combination of its parent breeds’ traits. Generally, Yorkichons are independent dogs that also enjoy spending time with their owners.
Bichon Frise Yorkie mixes can also be excellent watchdogs if they are trained properly. They tend to bark excessively with a high-pitch voice, so it’s best to get this behavior under control.
In terms of looks, the Yorkie Bichon mix has a full and dense soft coat that comes in different colors, such as the colors of its parent breed Bichon Frise or the Yorkie.
Both the Yorkie and Bichon Frise are considered hypoallergenic, so it is most likely that the same goes for a Yorkichon.
5. Pugshire (Pug & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: buddy.thepugshire / Instagram
Standard Pugs are already small in stature, and even tinier teacup Pugs do exist. But here’s another contender when it comes to cuteness: the Pug and Yorkshire mix, better known as the Pugshire!
The Pugshire has a small face, round eyes with colors that can range from dark to hazel, a black nose and muzzle tip, as well as floppy ears.
Pugshires can vary in appearance as they can resemble more of the Pug parent or the Yorkie one.
Personality-wise, the Pugshire has the Pug’s lively disposition and the Yorkshire Terrier’s affectionate behavior. These social dogs love cuddles and playtime due to their high energy levels and playful nature.
Pugshires are also known as clever dogs with alert and attentive tendencies, making them good watchdogs.
But just like their parent breeds, they also have innate stubbornness, so it’s best to train them with firm hands and patience.
6. Affenshire (Affenpinscher & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: alfie_says_relax / Instagram
The Affenshire is a cross between a purebred Affenpinscher and a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. This pooch is known as an intelligent dog that has a curious nature. Affenshires are also quick learners, making them highly trainable.
Affenshires can display features from both parent breeds. Their coat colors and markings may vary even within the same litter. They often come in the colors fawn, blue, red, gray, and black.
The Yorkie gene dominates if an Affenshire possesses a long, silky coat. Meanwhile, the Affenpinscher parent may pass down a rough coat and mustached face.
Usually, they have a dark nose and brown or amber eye color. They can either have droopy or pointy ears. Most Affenshires also have an underbite taken after their Affenpinscher side.
Affenshires have a spunky attitude and alert nature that make them good watchdogs. Though they have playful personalities, they don’t require lots of physical activities.
7. Dorkie (Dachshund & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: cini.the.dorkie / Instagram
This little mutt is a mix between a Dachshund and a Yorkie. It lives true to its name as a dorky, playful, and easy-going dog that loves attention. The Dorkie also goes by the names Dorkie Terrier and Doxie Yorkie.
The Dorkie has a friendly nature and can get along well with other animals and even kids.
In the household, Dorkies tend to form a strong bond with their main owner and can be a little demanding as they require lots of attention.
Dorkies are also active dogs around the house, but with their short legs, they don’t need long walks.
Dachshund Yorkie mixes also tend to gain weight when overfed, so proper exercise and feeding are needed.
Taking care of a Dorkie is not the most ideal for those who suffer from allergies. But their coats are considered low-maintenance and require only three to four brushings weekly.
8. Yorkipom (Pomeranian & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Pomeranians are already adorable fluff balls, be it a teddy bear or a teacup Pomeranian.
But what happens if you mix this pooch with another lovely breed like the Yorkie? You’ll get a cute and tiny fur pal, the Yorkipom!
The Yorkipom, also known as Yorkie Pom or Yoranian, is a lively, affectionate dog that has a loyal and protective nature. Yorkie poms also tend to be independent dogs, influenced by their Pomeranian side.
Yorkipoms stand about six to ten inches tall, weighing no more than seven pounds.
With their small size and loving behavior, they are suitable companion dogs for older people and those who live either in big or small apartments.
They can also work as service dogs. Yorkie Pomeranian mixes can also be trained to spot medical problems such as seizures once they’re given special training.
They are also highly receptive to training, even for first-time owners.
9. Borkie (Beagle & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Beagles and Yorkies look nothing alike, so it is only fair to wonder what their offspring would look like.
The crossbreeding of the two famous dog breeds didn’t disappoint, with the cuteness and uniqueness of the Borkie!
One of the most popular features of a Beagle is its long, floppy ears. So if you’re curious that a Borkie has the same type of ears, it is possible, but it still depends on whether a Borkie takes after its Beagle parent more.
Most Borkies have a Yorkie-like coat that requires heavy maintenance. When it comes to their coat colors, it can vary as they can inherit the colors and patterns of both parent breeds.
Though Beagles and Yorkies differ in looks, they both share a common ground as hunting dogs.
So expect that a Borkie can display the same hunting drive. Despite their high prey drive, these dogs can make great family pets.
10. Shorkie (Shih Tzu & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
If you can’t get enough of the cuteness of a Shih Tzu and you’re looking for a toy dog but the teacup Shih Tzu’s too small for you, then the Shorkie will surely pique your interest!
This mix between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkie usually weighs around 5 to 15 pounds with a height of about six to 14 inches. Shorkies can either be larger or smaller than an average-sized Shih Tzu or Yorkie.
Shih Tzu Yorkie mixes often have straight, medium-length coats and are generally considered ideal for allergy sufferers. They are also deemed as high-maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming.
Much like their Shih Tzu parent, Shorkies are also not well-suited for extreme weather.
Despite these qualities, Shih Tzu Yorkie mix dogs adopt the calm and friendly nature of the Shih Tzu, making them kid-friendly and great family dogs.
11. Yorkie Pin (Miniature Pinscher & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: albie_pin / Instagram
Another mixed breed full of fun is this little charmer, the Yorkie Pin. A cross between a purebred Miniature Pinscher and a Yorkie, the Yorkie Pin is known for its hunting abilities.
Yorkie Pins are also admired by many dog lovers because of their hyperactive nature and friendliness.
These qualities make them good companion dogs for owners with active lifestyles who also like a devoted pooch by their side.
Taking care of a Yorkie Pin requires constant supervision as this mixed breed yearns for lots of attention. Yorkie Pins often have a habit of getting into mischief, and they also get agitated when left alone for a long period of time.
Looks-wise, Yorkie Pins typically have a tiny and compact body with either black or brown fur.
They could be either larger or smaller than their parent breeds and have the same lifespan as a healthy Yorkie and Miniature Pinscher.
12. King Charles Yorkie (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: mitchthedog1 / Instagram
This tiny head-turner is a result of mixing the Yorkie with another equally charismatic dog breed, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
These attractive dogs have smooth, lustrous coats that come in various colors. Yorkie Cavs, just like their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parents, are considered moderate shedders and are not too demanding to maintain.
Besides the captivating looks, the King Charles Yorkie mix has a cheerful and affectionate nature that makes it a great companion dog.
Yorkie Cavs are also known for having the best qualities of their parent breeds when it comes to sporting, hunting, and performing tricks.
They can be a little nippy with small animals, but this could be managed with proper socialization.
On top of being alert and intelligent dogs, they also have a protective nature that allows them to be excellent watchdogs.
13. Goldenshire (Golden Retriever & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: la.famille.du.rang / Instagram
If you’re looking for a goofy cuddle buddy, then you might want to consider getting a Goldenshire! The Golden Retriever Yorkie mix pooch is an easy-going, sociable dog with a sweet yet spunky attitude.
Typically, Goldenshires are larger than the Yorkie but smaller than the average Golden Retriever.
Their heads are covered with medium to long hair, and their muzzles resemble more of the Golden Retriever’s muzzle, even the nose color.
Golden Retriever Yorkie mixes are outgoing, adventurous, and energetic dogs. They enjoy being included in every activity.
They like to play, interact, and even do the classic Golden Retriever trait of fetching random things.
This goofball is also good with children and can adapt to apartment living. But a home with a spacious backyard is ideal for this pooch due to the Goldenshire’s playful nature.
14. Yorkinese (Pekingese & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: theyorkinese / Instagram
Known for their elegant appearance and pleasing personality, the Yorkinese is a cross between a purebred Pekingese and a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. The Yorkinese is a loyal and affectionate breed with a dash of boldness.
Yorkinese dogs usually have round and dark button eyes, round noses that peep through their facial hair, short feet, and bushy tails.
They can be found in a variety of coat colors, such as black, tan, and fawn, to name a few.
These little furballs typically possess a long coat similar to their parent breeds’ coats. If it takes after the Yorkie parent, a pup exhibits fine, silky, and wavy hair while the Pekingese gene influences a coarser and wiry coat.
Yorkinese dogs are also known as intelligent mixed breeds. However, they also tend to be stubborn and bark unnecessarily at times. It’s best to properly train them to deal with any unruly behavior.
15. Boston Yorkie (Boston Terrier & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)

Besides their good temperament, Boston Yorkies also have distinct looks. They often have shaggy coats and unique tuxedo markings, slim but furry tails, dark eyes, button noses, and large and upright ears.
This pooch may seem small, but it has a feisty behavior towards other dogs. With this, early socialization is recommended.
Despite this tendency, Boston Yorkies are friendly dogs that are even shy with strangers sometimes.
As people-oriented dogs, Boston Yorkies can fit into any household. Although, expect that these energetic dogs won’t be laid-back lap dogs.
They often thrive with owners that cherish their curious and adventurous nature.
16. Corkie (Cocker Spaniel & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: fifithefufu / Instagram
Corkies may be too hairy for some people, but they’re arguably too cute to resist!
Having a Cocker Spaniel and a Yorkie as parents, the Corkie doesn’t just inherit its parents’ coats but their amazing qualities as well.
Though Corkies have small bodies, they are built sturdy with athletic features. In general, Corkies have floppy ears, black noses, and dark expressive eyes.
Just like its medium-shedder Cocker Spaniel parent, the Corkie is not considered a low-maintenance breed when it comes to grooming. Corkies have long, dense fur that is prone to matting.
Some Corkie owners even find their pup’s grooming costs to be the biggest expense they encounter as most of them take their Corkies to professional groomers.
But don’t let these minor disadvantages set you back, as these jolly furballs make wonderful pets. They are innately people-pleasers who get along well with people of any age.
17. Snorkie (Miniature Schnauzer & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)

Don’t let the looks of this little fur ball fool you, as Snorkies can be fierce and feisty. They have big personalities that can sometimes come across as bossy.

Compared to other little dogs, the Lorkie rarely barks. Add this quality on top of their loving personality and small size, and you’ll get a furry pal that’s suitable for apartment or tiny house living.
Looking at a Yorkie-Apso might give you a vibe that it sheds heavily due to its rich coat of fur.
Surprisingly, Lorkies are low-shedders, and much like their Lhasa Apso parents, they are compatible even with allergy sufferers.
The Lorkie comes in beautiful shades of tan, white, brown, and black. It has tiny and floppy ears, a medium-length muzzle, and almond-shaped eyes.

Griffonshires are also known for being smart. They can pick up tricks and can be trained easily. However, they have stubborn tendencies and require consistent and firm training.
Besides their intelligence, they are also courageous to the point that they can be unaware of their small size. Some Griffonshires even have the small dog syndrome, just like other small breeds.
Luckily, these behaviors can be managed with proper training and socialization at a young age.
Positive reinforcement will also help a lot to motivate and change a pup’s behavior, be it through giving treats and praises.

Carkies also have medium-sized muzzles, black noses, round brown eyes, short tails that can be slightly curled, and round paws. They typically have medium-length and shaggy coats.
These coats are considered hypoallergenic, too. They are referred to as hygienic dogs as they don’t drool and don’t have some kind of odor.
21. Ratshire (Rat Terrier & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: benji_with_the_curlytail / Instagram
You might have seen the tiny, elf-like canines called toy Rat Terriers. If you find this breed cute and interesting, then this mixed breed might catch your attention, too!
While toy Rat Terriers are a variant of the American Rat Terrier, the Ratshire is a hybrid one that comes from crossbreeding a purebred Rat Terrier and a Yorkie. The Ratshire Terrier is best known for being sweet, spunky, and stubborn.
This feisty fellow is full of energy. If you want a lazy lap dog, then a Ratshire Terrier may not be the best option for you. This playful canine requires mental and physical stimulation and has a high prey drive as well.
While they are spunky dogs, this doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy cuddling and spending a lazy afternoon with their owners.
Ratshires are naturally affectionate and loving, so a good balance of activities would be ideal.
22. Yorkillon (Papillon & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)

With two different parent breeds, the Yorkillon may inherit the huge ears or coat colors from the Papillon side or resemble the appearance of the Yorkie.
As a hybrid, the actual looks and even the behavior of a pup can be hard to tell.
Yorkshire Terrier Papillon dogs have coats that can vary from the fluffy fur of the Papillon to the silky hair of the Yorkie. Some might shed seasonally like the Papillon, while others may shed less like the Yorkie.
Papillon Yorkie mixes are also curious and intelligent. With their bright minds and curiosity, they require challenging activities.
23. Havashire (Havanese & Yorkshire Terrier Mix)
Image credit: havashiresissy / Instagram
Often admired for its innocent and charming appearance, the Havashire is one of the most common Havanese and Yorkie mixes. But there’s more to this doggo than its appealing looks.
The Havanese Yorkie mix is a sought-after mixed breed because of its amazing qualities. First, it is considered a hypoallergenic dog. This pooch is ideal for those who suffer from allergies and want a smaller pet.
The tiny size of the Havashire also makes it well-suited for an apartment or small house living. This pup also rarely barks and is incredibly loyal.
On top of this, Havanese Yorkie mixes also tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other small dogs, just like their Havanese parent.
Often deemed as healthy dogs, the Havashires have relatively few health concerns as well.

Chinese Crested is an uncommon breed with a high cost so expect that looking for a Crustie would be challenging.
But this lovable and playful pooch has unique looks and a good personality that makes it worthy of attention.
If the Crustie has the hairless gene of its Chinese Crested parent, it may have the same exposed skin. Meanwhile, if it takes after the Yorkie parent, it can have a long, silky coat.
Regardless of the coat type it inherits, Crusties do not shed heavily. Like their parent breeds, Crusties also have the coat type that doesn’t do well in cold weather. Moreover, a hairless Crustie is also prone to sunburn.

While these dogs lack height, they don’t lack personality. They get along really well with older kids and are incredibly devoted to their owners and families. They can also make excellent watchdogs.

The Boxkie is a rare hybrid between a purebred Boxer and a purebred Yorkie. Boxkies are fun-loving and loyal dogs that love to be in the presence of their owners.
This mix is also known for being a little spunky and inquisitive so if you want one, you have to be ready for some adventure or fun mischief. Boxkies also love attention, and they don’t want to be left alone.
Though Boxer Yorkie mixes are intelligent dogs, they can be quite challenging to train. They would need someone that can train them firmly and patiently.
They also have a high prey drive and tend to chase after smaller animals. To manage this, early socialization and training will help a lot.
These dogs also like physical challenges so it’s best to keep them engaged.

Besides their distinct appearance, Yorkie Pitbulls have a unique personality as well.
While they appear intimidating and aggressive, these dogs are natural people-pleasers that are sensitive toward their owner’s feelings.
When properly socialized, Pitbull Yorkies make excellent companion dogs that go along well with children and other dogs.
