Present Do u have a morkie?

We are getting a morkie tomorrow she is all white with yorkie hair and i think favors the yorkie side. Her name is milly and shes 4mos old. Ive done my research but curious what other peoples experiences are with this breed and if they are easy to train (she already had some) and what type of activities they like to do.

We have a silky (for those that dont know its like a yorkie) hes 8mos n small for his breed but is so easy to train (i helped my gram get her yorkie that us a bit younger and hes another story but she wont listen to be more of a pack leader with him he listens but has some bad habits that when hes with us for a play date etc he never even tries to do lol) and enjoys his walk, play time in the yard, playing with the kids, and really just pleasing thats why i think hes so easy to train took me a day to teach him to shake and sit up.

Once we get her ill put up a pick with both of them together.

Welcome to YT!
I have two morkies. One who got more of the maltese laid-back attitude and one with the hyper yorkie attitude! They are great dogs, and need a LOT of grooming! But I get them in a puppy cut every 2 months and it does them great. As for training, mine are SUPER smart learning tricks. Housebreaking...ehhh...not so much. One is 3 and the other is a 1.5 and they still puddle in the house occasionally. Even with that, they are the loves of my life and I couldn't live without them! Doesn't hurt that they are also so so cute.

Their personalities are all different, but a lot of it depends on how you treat them and train them. They focus their life around you, you know! You will enjoy her so much & she will be a blessing. Post pics soon! xx

Its a recognized hybred but anyways dont want to get into an argument what does it truly matter what they are called as long as the dog got a second chance to having a family which she did with us.

Trust me i under stand the reasoning behind people hating a breed being called something etc.

But a dog is a dog and is there fault how they are breed and all deserve a loving home.

I have a morkie and he is quite the character! Cooper is a very sweet dog and cannot get enough of playing and taunting his Yorkie brother. I've seen morkies of all shapes and sizes. Did you get your dog yet? Post a pic!

Hybrid is a term used by unscrupulous breeders to dupe an uneducated public.

I have a wonderful Maltese/Yorkie mix that came from a rescue group. She is 3 1/2 years old and looks nothing like she did as a puppy. She started off Black and Tan and teeny tiny. Now she is blonde and gray and 16 pounds! I love her, even if she is the most stubborn dog I've ever had in my life.

I mentioned the mix issue, only to make a clarification...
I don't care what you got or call it, they all are totally loveable. I've owned mixes and they were some of the best animals ever.

However, I just don't understand why anyone would intentionally mix. The Yorkshire and Maltese are such noble breeds (others like Poodle too) why would one want to dilute them. I just think it's careless and irresponsible.

I have to say I agree….one of my favorite dogs was a spaniel mix from the SPCA….but I personally wouldn't pay money for a mixed breed (other than to rescue etc)

Anyway, I'm sure your little one is absolutely adorable and you'll have to see how her looks and personality develop to see if she favors the maltese half or the yorkie half more.

PS:
Lots of this type mix exists. And yes, one can run across them, they're cute and one may "connect" with that animal and want it, but...

I'd treat that situation like I would a Dog from a Puppy Mill, and that I liked IT. I'd focus on the animal it's self, its personality, and wouldn't pay the Breeder a cent more than what it cost to medically maintain the puppy till it was acquired.

If those persons who allow such breeding are forced to not realize anything beyond a remuneration, the trouble that hosting a Liter may make it not worth their time.

I think that stubbornness is a yorkie trait because Callie certainly has it

I have a yorkie mix and bought her purposely because I wanted a mix, something close to a yorkie, since I had four purebreds in the past. But this time I wanted something a little different and a pup that did not cost $1,500.00 either. I also wanted a puppy not an adult dog and after checking with the local pounds and rescue groups did not find a puppy that met my criteria and time frame so I bought Lola from a private local person local when she was 4 months old and paid $400 or 450.00 can't remember, but about what most rescue groups charge. At that age you can pretty much predict what they will look like and weigh as an adult and I have to say I have never been happier. I also had a complete blood panel and chest exray done on her the day after I picked her up, the vet thought I was crazy but I wanted to know as much as I could before I bonded with her. I don't think of her as a breed, just a mix and I would never be crazy to buy what people on the internet like to pass off as "designer breeds" and charge as much as good purebred breeders charge.

Good luck with your morkie, hopefully you are buying a dog older than 8 weeks and will take it to the vet for a through check up.

I have a Morkie or so called mutt. I love her to pieces and she returns the favor. She is a 7.4lb bundle of joy and a loving little girl that wants to be held all the time. I take part credit in that but the husband doesn't think her little feet should touch the ground. He is always carrying her everywhere. She loves to play and housebreaking seemed that it happened overnight. She talks to so and tells us she has to go out. She is on a leash and never has run the yard herself. I can't wait to see pictures of your puppy when you get her.
