Then I started doing some very "selective" breeding to see how I could have even better Morkies after my 2nd litter also turned out so great! When I have e-mails come from my puppy families, which I do quite often, most of the e-mails from my Yorkie families go something like this: "We love our little (girl or boy) and are so glad we have him, but do you have any other suggestions for house breaking" or .... we are still working on the house breaking and we are making a little progress". Where as almost all the families that have e-mailed me about their Morkie puppies have said things like: "We love out little (girl or boy) and are so happy with him - Did you already house break him - we are not having any accidents in the house (or) we have had very few accidents in the house and they have been because I was not paying attention" etc.
It is sure not that a Yorkie is not smart enough to house break - there is just a "stubbornness" in their nature which is part of what we Yorkie lovers love so much about them. Butterfly (my little purebred Yorkie companion) is the prime example. She's my baby and will always be my baby no matter what - but housebroke  no.
As far as not having to spend a lot of money to love your dog  . That's not what I was saying. I was saying and I have seen this - that is it easier for someone to make a rash decision to buy a puppy when they are not so expensive, then decide that was a mistake for their family and the puppy ends up going to the humane society if they cannot find a different home for him or her. With the higher prices it is normally (at least for these of us not as rich as Hilton in money) not going to be a rash decision. I don't try to convince anyone to buy a puppy from me. In fact I have told potential puppy buyers that if they are not REALLY sure that they want the puppy, please do not buy until they are sure. Also please don't buy from me unless you feel very good about that! Many of my "newer" puppy families buy from me because they have other family members who have bought puppies from me earlier - purebred or designer babies. |
Understand, point well taken. I have no idea what a morkie is, never researched them. I never really paid any attention to the "designer breds", so do you have pictures I can see of your morkies? Are they white, black/gold or blue/gold. Basically what colour base do they have. Can you have a solid white out of the litter that even looks like the parent. PLease do not get offended by this I am just curious, I am not downgrading what you do. I have to say you do speak like you know what you are doing and that is why I ask you.
