I am trying to always "better" my own individual breeding program though.
This has me confused. Since Maltese are white, why would you think the mom had anything to do with producing mostly black colored babies? I can understand different moms putting out different looking babies as far as face, structure and coat quality but how could a Maltese influence a litter to be more black in color? |
i started with a female black yorkipoo.. then with an akc male stud white maltese.. got 2 white and one all black morkipoo.. i like the black better.. easier maintenance.. but the yorkie wirey hair is the easiest. but the maltese really adds softness. white is prettier but higher maintenance
for the little dirt diggers..
then the poodle makes them curly.. it is always going to be a surprise when they are born..
the white must be from the maltese and the black genes from the yorkie.
they all had yorkie faces except for one .. one little black morkipoo had a flatter face.. i think his face was smooshed during growth in the womb. like the flat face on the s**tzu..
i prefer the cuter fuller face and nose..
i would not even consider breeding a s**tzu with anything.. jmo
