About Yorkie Mixs in Calgary

Yorkie mixes are some of the most adorable and tolerable small dogs for allergy-prone households in Calgary. Combining a Yorkshire Terrier parent with a small breed produces dogs typically 5-15 pounds, low-shedding (Yorkie has a hair-not-fur single coat), and packed with personality. Most Yorkie mixes inherit the Yorkie's confident temperament plus traits from the other parent — often softening some of the Yorkie quirks (vocal barking, stubborn streak) with traits from a calmer breed.

Common Yorkie crosses in Calgary rescues: Morkie (Yorkie + Maltese, 4-12 lbs, gentle and quiet), Yorkipoo (Yorkie + Poodle, 5-15 lbs, hypoallergenic, smart), Shorkie (Yorkie + Shih Tzu, 7-15 lbs, calm), Chorkie (Yorkie + Chihuahua, 5-10 lbs, vocal, sometimes feisty), Yorkichon (Yorkie + Bichon, 5-10 lbs, playful), Yoranian / Yorkie Pom (Yorkie + Pomeranian, 4-8 lbs, fluffy, alert). Each combination produces a distinct dog — read the foster's notes carefully because temperament varies.

Yorkie mixes appear in Calgary rescues regularly — the "teacup" and designer-mix trend that exploded post-2015 led to a surge in breeding, and a portion of those dogs entered the rescue system as their owners discovered that small dogs aren't low-maintenance: vocal barking, daily grooming requirements, fragility around children, separation anxiety, and high vet costs surprise many first-time small-dog owners. Most surrendered Calgary Yorkie mixes are 2-7 year old young adults with established personalities.

All Yorkie mixes listed below are from 15+ Calgary-area rescues including Calgary Humane Society, AARCS, Pawsitive Match, and others. Listings update regularly. Yorkie mixes adopt out fast because of high demand — apply same-day if you find a match.

Yorkie Mix Adoption FAQ

Tap a question to expand

How many Yorkie Mixes are available for adoption in Calgary?▼
As of September 2026, there are no Yorkie Mixes listed in Calgary rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Yorkie Mixes are among the rarer dogs in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Yorkie Mix mix.
Where can I adopt a Yorkie mix in Calgary?▼
Yorkie mixes appear in Calgary rescues regularly through Calgary Humane Society, AARCS, Pawsitive Match, BARCS, and ARF Alberta. The listings on this page aggregate all currently available Yorkie mixes (Morkie, Yorkipoo, Shorkie, Chorkie, Yorkichon, Yoranian) from 15+ Calgary-area shelters — updated regularly. Yorkie mixes adopt out within days of listing because of high demand. Set up email alerts on rescue websites and check daily.
Are Yorkie mixes hypoallergenic?▼
Mostly yes — Yorkie mixes tend to be low-shedding because the Yorkshire Terrier parent has a hair-not-fur single coat that produces less dander. Yorkipoo (Yorkie + Poodle) and Morkie (Yorkie + Maltese) are typically the lowest-shedding Yorkie mixes. Yorkie + Pomeranian (Yoranian) and Yorkie + Chihuahua (Chorkie) sometimes inherit the other parent's shedding coat. No dog is 100% hypoallergenic — for severe allergies, spend 2-3 hours with the specific dog before adopting and watch for delayed allergic response.
How big do Yorkie mixes get?▼
Most Yorkie mixes are 5-15 lbs adult — the Yorkie's small size is dominant in most crosses. Specific weights: Morkie (Yorkie + Maltese): 4-12 lbs. Yorkipoo (Yorkie + Toy Poodle): 5-12 lbs; with Mini Poodle: 8-15 lbs. Shorkie (Yorkie + Shih Tzu): 7-15 lbs. Chorkie (Yorkie + Chihuahua): 5-10 lbs. Yorkichon (Yorkie + Bichon): 5-10 lbs. Yoranian (Yorkie + Pomeranian): 4-8 lbs. Avoid "teacup Yorkie mix" listings — these are unethically bred dogs with serious health problems, not legitimate small versions.
Are Yorkie mixes good apartment dogs?▼
Excellent for Calgary apartments and condos due to small size (typically 5-15 lbs) and low exercise needs (30 min daily walks plus indoor play). The main caveat: vocal barking. Yorkie mixes inherit the Yorkshire Terrier alert-bark instinct, and some mixes (Chorkie, Yoranian) can be persistent barkers. Bark training matters in shared-wall buildings. Best apartment Yorkie mixes: Morkie (gentlest), Shorkie (calmest), Yorkipoo (smart and trainable). Most Calgary condos allow Yorkie mixes under standard small-dog allowances.
How much grooming do Yorkie mixes need?▼
Significant. Most Yorkie mixes need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks at $60-$110 per visit in Calgary, plus daily home brushing to prevent mats. The single-coat Yorkie hair grows continuously and needs trimming. Morkies and Yorkipoos need the most grooming attention. Yorkie mixes that inherit more of the other parent's coat (Yoranian with Pom fluff, Shorkie with Shih Tzu coat) are slightly more forgiving. Annual grooming budget: $400-$1,000 depending on coat type and frequency. Daily ear cleaning and tear-stain management add to the maintenance.
Are Yorkie mixes good with kids?▼
Best with respectful older children (8+). Yorkie mixes are physically fragile (5-15 lbs) and can be injured by rough handling — a fall or being squeezed by a toddler can cause serious injury. Some Yorkie mixes also show defensive snapping when handled roughly, especially Chorkies. Better breeds for households with toddlers: small Lab mixes, Cocker Spaniel mixes, Cavalier King Charles. For families with kids 8+, Morkies and Yorkipoos are typically the easiest Yorkie-mix matches. See our small dogs adoption guide for full kid-compatibility breakdown.
How much does a Yorkie mix cost in Calgary?▼
Calgary Yorkie mix adoption fee: $300-$600 from rescues. Calgary Humane Society $135-$400, AARCS/BARCS/Pawsitive Match $400-$600. All include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and basic vet workup. By comparison, Calgary Yorkie mix breeders charge $1,500-$3,500 for designer Yorkie mix puppies. Annual care costs $1,500-$2,500/year for a healthy Yorkie mix — grooming is the biggest variable. Pet insurance recommended for the breed-specific issues common in small dogs (luxating patella, dental, tracheal collapse).
Are Yorkie mix puppies available in Calgary?▼
Rare in rescues. Designer Yorkie mix puppies (Morkie, Yorkipoo, Shorkie) are in extremely high demand and typically sell quickly through breeders before reaching rescues. The few that do enter Calgary rescues come from owner surrenders, backyard breeder failures, or Kijiji rehoming. Set up alerts on rescue websites and check LocalPetFinder daily — Yorkie mix puppies adopt within hours of listing. For adult Yorkie mixes (2-7 years old), availability is much better and the dog already has temperament and training history.
Are these Yorkie Mixes for sale in Calgary?▼
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Yorkie Mix here comes from a Calgary rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $300 to $600, with puppies at $500 to $900 and already include vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter when age-appropriate, versus roughly $2,000 to $5,000 or more to buy a Yorkie Mix from a breeder. If you searched "yorkie mix for sale calgary" or "yorkie mix puppies for sale," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Yorkie Mix in Calgary, and should I?▼
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Yorkie Mix breeder typically charges $2,000 to $5,000 or more and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Yorkie Mix costs $300 to $600, with puppies at $500 to $900 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap yorkie mix-for-sale ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or puppy-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the puppies were raised and getting vet records. For most families in Calgary, adopting a rescue Yorkie Mix is cheaper, faster, and gives a dog in need a home.
Are there free Yorkie Mixes in Calgary, or yorkie mixes under $500?▼
Adoption is the closest honest answer, and it is not free. A rescue Yorkie Mix in Calgary typically costs $300 to $600, with puppies at $500 to $900, so the lower end lands under the "$500" people search for and the rest does not. What the fee buys is work already done, the vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter, which would cost more than the fee itself if you arranged it yourself, and it is still far below breeder prices. Be wary of genuinely free yorkie mix listings. An animal advertised free to a good home has usually not been vetted, and free rehoming ads are the route flippers and unregistered breeders use to move animals with no health guarantee and no recourse. Paying a rescue fee buys you a dog someone has already examined, treated, and been honest with you about.
Are there Yorkie Mix puppies in Calgary, or only adults?▼
Both, but adults far outnumber puppies, and it is worth knowing that before you start looking. Most Yorkie Mixes arriving in Calgary rescue are adolescents and adults, because that is the age at which first homes tend to give up. Puppies do come through, usually as accidental litters or with a surrendered mother, and they are typically spoken for quickly. Setting an alert beats refreshing the page. It is also worth asking whether you actually want one: an adult arrives with a temperament a foster has already observed and described, where a Yorkie Mix puppy is a prediction, and for this breed in particular knowing what you are getting is the more useful thing.
Where can I find a Yorkie Mix near me in Calgary?▼
Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Calgary rescues and shelters and are refreshed regularly, so what you see is what is genuinely available rather than a stale directory. If nothing suits today, that is normal for this breed: rescue intake is intermittent rather than steady, and a breed with none listed this week often has several next month. Setting an alert beats checking back, and it is worth widening to nearby towns, since most rescues serving Calgary will adopt out across a reasonable driving distance rather than only inside one municipality.
