Are Shorkies hypoallergenic?

Yes, Shorkies are considered hypoallergenic. While no dog breed is 100% hypoallergenic, Shorkies are often favored by individuals with allergies because they tend to produce fewer allergens such as dander and saliva (in contrast to some other breeds). Their hair-like coat, inherited from their Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier parent breeds, sheds less than fur, reducing the amount of allergens released into the environment. However, individual reactions can vary, and some people with severe allergies may still experience symptoms around Shorkies. Regular grooming and cleaning can help minimize allergens and make living with a Shorkie more comfortable for allergy sufferers.
