Sex

Chorkies, a hybrid of Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers, often become sexually mature and reproducing-age between the ages of six months and a year. This is a broad spectrum, and certain Chorkies may develop at a faster or slower pace than others. In comparison to bigger dog breeds, little dog breeds like Chorkies often attain sexual maturity sooner.

However, dog breeding must be handled carefully, with respect for the dogs' well-being. No one should go into breeding dogs without first learning all there is to know about the breed standards, possible health problems, and time commitment involved in providing adequate care for the mother, the sire, and the pups.

Before deciding to breed your Chorkie, you should talk to a vet or a professional breeder. They will be able to evaluate your Chorkie's health and suitability for breeding and advise you on the best time to start a breeding program.

They may help in partner selection and offer encouragement throughout the whole breeding process. Spaying or neutering your Chorkie is one way to control your dog's reproductive health and avoid unwanted births.

Female dogs may avoid urinary tract infections and certain cancers by having their ovaries and uterus surgically removed, a procedure known as spaying. Neutering (the surgical removal of a male dog's testicles) protects against testicular cancer and decreases the likelihood of undesirable behaviors like aggressiveness and wandering.
