OMG!!! A MORKIE!!! Help please!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tinker'sMommy · 08-23-2007, 11:18 AM

I just discovered something, I think Tinkerbell had a Morkie

, How can I tell for sure though??? I mean it was the second baby that was born, the biggest one (6oz), the one that got stuck

her babies are 4 days old today and as I was looking at them closely I noticed that he had "white" tips on the legs

OMG, I do have a maltese (Chiquito), and one day he got her for a few seconds but released when I yelled at them, but apperantly he got her pregnant too. This happened while Albert was here, he is the father of the 2 other. I always thought he looked different not only in size but in color

I am so shocked I dont know what to say or think!!! I need to show you some pics so you can all help me out. He also has white hairs on his chest

the white on the chest doesn't mesan he isn't a yorkie. All my babies ecept one have had white markings on their chest. it later turns gold. i have also hadd a couple with white toes. Also turned gold but if you truly think there is a chance you have a morkie, you will have to have ALL possible parents and all the puppies dna'd.

Yes, the only way to know is dna testing, because it is possible for pup mothers to carry pups in the same litter from different fathers. But how fun, a new discovery! As long as the pups are healthy and happy, does it really matter??

It's possible you do have a Morkie. However, some yorkies are born with a little bit of white on their chests and sometimes on their feet, too.

Oh WOW!!! I didn't know that, I guess I just have to wait and see

lisatodd · 08-23-2007, 12:26 PM

all of mine had white on the chest and one with white on the back paws. lets hope they are not morkies (although i am sure they would be cute)

Where on the LEGS are the white tips?

Milli had a little white on her feet and chest as a puppy, which has turned to tan as she's grown. I think it's cute! Someone told me that they're just going to be a "lighter" yorkie when they have white toes and a little white star on their chests.

A little can be "multi-sired"-I had to complain about a breeder once for registering the litter as all purebred AKC yorkies when there was a good chance they were part rat terrier! She was trying to pass them off as purebred yorkies...

Here's a link to AKC's multi-sired litter info:

If there are any ties besides the intended, a test should be done. This is for their registry and so you can be honest with the prospective owners and not sell them as purebred if there is a possibility they are not.... Even if they only were together a little while she still could have conceived.

Yes, just the very tip of the toes, like the nails part, and the chest. The chest I knew it could be but not the paws

like I said is mainly the part where the nails come out of

.

Thank You, I am not selling them

I am keeping them, and the father's mommy keeps one

All 6 of my pups from 2 different litters were born with a white spot on the chest and a few have the white on the toes....
