Shih Tzu Cross
Yorkshire Terrier mixes and Shih Tzu mixes are commonly known in South Africa as Yorkie Cross, Yorkie Mix, Shih Tzu Cross, or Shih Tzu Mix. These small companion breeds are valued for their affectionate nature, adaptability to indoor living, and strong bonds with their owners. They often do best in stable homes with routine, gentle handling, and secure environments, especially when mixed with alert or protective traits from the Yorkshire Terrier.
