I have received hundreds of emails from potential puppy parents frustrateded with the confusion that some breeders have brought to the world of Officlal Puppies. People are getting taken advantage of every day by certain breeders promising they have "Official Puppies" yet delivering shorkie puppies that are not registered or affiliated in anyway with the Shorkie Club Of America. Although this apparently is not an illegal practice it is immoral for breeders to take our name and use it to sell Knock off Official Puppies to unsuspecting puppy parents. The SCA is attempting to crack down on these breeders. It is trying to attempt to help puppy parents to identify knock offs Official Shorkies BEFORE they spend their time and money. Not that you should not buy a knock off Official Shorkie puppy from these breeders that claim to have Official Shorkie Puppies. But you do have the right to know that the Term Official Shorkie Puppies was taken from the Shorkie Club Of America and their puppies have nothing to do with us at all.

OFFICIAL MEANS:An official is someone who holds an office in an organisation or government and participates in the exercise of authority (either his own or that of his superior and/or employer, public or legally private). The reason we used the term Official Shorkie Puppies is because we started the breed over 18 years ago here in the usa and have the experience and and expertise in the breed.

Official Shorkie Puppies sounds good doesn't it?? Like the best of the best. You can read on their websites why they claim their shorkie puppies to be Official. But our question is what makes them Official
