Is the chorkie puppy a hypo-allergenic dog breed?

Question

Answer ONLY if you know ;; I hate when idiots post dumb answers that has nothing to do with the question.

For those who don`t know what a chorkie is it`s "supposed" to be a Yorkie and Chihuahua mix. I was asking because of the fact that I was getting one and wanting to know more about it. I don't have dog allergies or anything. I was just asking a question. I have another question: People who sell "mixed breed" dogs are scam artists? How?

BTW...this isn`t a "dumb question" espicially since I`ve never had a dog nor do I know ANYTHING about dogs in the first place! So coming from someone who has NO DOG KNOWLEDGE...this isn`t a dumb question.

Answer 1

No dog is truly hypoallergenic. Dogs considered to be hypoallergenic merely produce less dander than other breeds because they have a single coat or no coat. While a yorkie is considered hypoallergenic, a chihuahua is not. Keep in mind that a non hypoallergenic dog, frequently bathed and brushed and cleaned up after, can cause few allergies. And a "hypoallergenic" dog can cause allergies just like any other dog.
"hypoallergenic" dogs:
American Hairless Terrier
Airedale Terrier
Basenji
Bedlington Terrier
Bichon Frise
Border Terrier
Cairn Terrier
Chinese Crested (hairless)
Havanese
Kerry Blue Terrier
Maltese
Miniature Schnauzer
Portuguese Water Dog
Puli
Shih-Tzu
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Spanish Water Dog
Standard Poodle
Standard Schnauzer
Tibetan Terrier
Toy Poodle
West Highland White Terrier
Wirehaired Fox Terrier
Yorkshire Terrier

Answer 2

Well I hate when idiots ask dumb questions.

NO dog is hypo allergenic! Some have less dander then others, but none are hypo allergenic.

BTW, a chorkie (whatever the heck that is) is also NOT a breed. Check with AKC.

ADDED...Gr8danelady....."Lord love a duck" LMAO!! I love it!

ADDED....People who sell mixed breeds and give them a flashy name to attrack attention and money are scam artists. You could go to a shelter and find many Labradoodles, Chi-poos, Malti-poos, Boxadors, Chorkies (just heard that one today) or whatever other mixed breed you're looking for.

The people who breed these dogs do NOT breed champions (anyone owning a champion would ever breed their dog with different breed). Therefor, the parents aren't worth anything in the "real" dog world. Why would you pay $900 (or whatever ridiculous price asked) for a mixed breed that will NEVER be recognized by any organization, never have papers and is monetarily worth the same as any orphan sitting in a concrete box waiting to be adopted.

As far as how YOU value the dog, the amount you spend on the dog will not determine the amount of joy, companionship and unconditional love you will receive by being a responsible dog owner. You could spend $2000 for a mutt that would add no more or less joy to your life then my Lab/Pointer mutt(NOT a Pointing Lab) that I got for FREE because someone didn't bother to spay their dog and just wanted to get rid of the puppies.

Answer 3

Chorkie Puppies

Answer 4

To answer your question NO..also be aware there really is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. All dogs produce dander to some degree and it is dander not hair that causes allergies.

Also it is a mix not a breed and even if one parent was of a breed considered low allegen it doesn't mean the resulting pup would be it could very well take after the opposite breed.

Delibrately breeding mixes is irresponsible. People who do so, give them cutsie names and sell them are scamming people into believing they are getting a "breed" or some other type of promise. Only @ 10% of purebred dogs should ever be bred let alone delibrate breeding of mixes. There are many many mixes of all types in the shelters and purebreds in rescues without delibrate "mutt" breeding.

Answer 5

ok easy there. a chorkie is exactly what you said it is, it's a mixed breed. no dog is hypo allergenic. all dogs have dandruff. which is what us people are most likely to be allergic to. as for why someone who sells you a mixed breed is a scam artist here you go.....and i'm not nagging on you just pointing out some facts from someone who has many years of "dog" experience and not just from her own dogs.

you can find a mixed breed dog, all kinds of sizes at shelters across the country waiting to be euthanized because no one wants them. someone somewhere discovered by saying chorkie or puggle or whatever appealed to people. instead of pug mix or yorkie mix. and they learned that people are willing to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for these cute named breeds. they are not a breed specifically they are a mutt. the type of breeder most found breeding these types of dogs are nothing more usually than backyard breeders who have no respect or care about the health of the animal. just the price tag attached to them. a reputable breeder is one that would never mix the breeds of dogs just to make money or fit into the currant dog of the day special. their dogs are researched, proven and usually tested to be free from carring genetic diseases that can be passed onto puppies. a reputable breeder wants their name attached to the puppy and not just written on the check. the mixed breed puppy you find in a shelter can and usually is healthy too, but it is a result of poor dog owners who don't spay or neuter their pets. but this is stilll more excusable than the breeder that will intenionally breed a yorkie and a chihuahua. because they are intentially contributing to the current fad of designer dogs, and are deceiving people into believing that the chorkie is something rare and an actual stand alone breed, when all they are really doing is making a buck and lying to you.




please don't be so defensive, continue to research and find your dog at a local human society or shelter. you will be happy that you saved a dog, and please read up on proper vet care, training and all that and be prepared when your pup comes home. you will both be happier in the end.

Answer 6

Chorkies

Answer 7

NO, No, no!

It is NOT a breed, it is a mix of two breeds, sold by scam artists. No PUREBRED dog is hypoallergenic, therefore no mix from two purebreds could be, either - it is genetically impossible.

Please, do not support the unscrupulous people who breed 'designer dogs' - either adopt a mix from a shelter & save a life, or deal with a reputable breeder. These are real breeds that are less likely to bother people with allergies: http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?article_id=2588

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7Ys

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 9

beleive it or not, there are not "hypo-allergenic" dog breeds. True, dogs who do not shed like poodles have less of a reaction for allergy sufferers but it comes down to the dander they produce NOT the hair they shed.

Answer 10

There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic animal.
Allergy sufferers all have different sensitivities. Some people will react less to different breeds.
The best thing to do is find people with the breed you want and see how you react, BEFORE you get one. That way you don't have to give it up once you get attached.
