Very much the size of yorkies. For them to be bigger is just out of their standard like bigger yorkies.

Good luck with purchase.
Just thought I'd add that that's the Maltese Standard, hope you don't mind. Morkies are not a "breed" and do not have a standard. While Yorkies and Maltese are supposed to be the same size weight wise, most of the Yorkies I've seen have a leaner build. Maltese are more compact, so a 6lb Maltese might look smaller than a 6lb Yorkie.

I would be more concerned about where the puppy was coming from, rather than how big it will get. It's extremely hard to find a good mixed breed "breeder," some would say it's impossible. Petshops, puppymillers and online brokers are not good options. That pretty much leaves you with BYBs, who usually get there dogs from the above mentioned sources. JMHO, not trying to start a fight.
