* As a post script *
I would like to get a morkie. I know they aren't registered and are a mixed breed, but I don't think that means that all breeders are not reputable.
Please do not post back with a debate about breeders of mixed dogs. I have a rescued dog already and I really, really would love a morkie from a reputable morkie breeder. |
I have 2 rescue Morkies and also a Yorkie. You have a right to post questions about purchasing a Morkie and not be attacked
My groomer has Morkie puppies right now but unfortunately I live in IL so this reference would not be of help to you. She is very responsible and her Maltese and Yorkies are beautiful. If I was in the market to purchase she would be my choice. Good luck in your search! Thank you for opening your heart and home to a rescue!
[QUOTE=Lorraine;2385248]Just don't be fooled by the hybrid vigour claim of many mutt breeders. I do pet grooming and groom many mixed breeds many of which have temperment and health issues including genetic ones.
For genetic issues, don't forget genes can match up from each parent in a mix and those combinations don't care if they are in a purebred or a crossbreed if they are the right ones to manifest the condition. Ergo I have seen yorkie/maltese mixes with liver shunt and jack russell crosses with Legge-Calves-Perthes and mixes of many breeds with blown knees before they were 3 years old and spinal problems that had to be put down by age of 6 years because of severe pain that could not be managed.
Good luck in your search but regardless of what you are searching for, be informed and search wisely.[/QUOTE
