... because I have two Yorkies and an adorable Morkie.

I am MAD about my Yorkie babies, love the breed, but I must say I got lucky with my Morkie, Braxton. He's got a small, curved tail. Fluffy, beautiful hair. The breeder calls his color "cinnamon" but it is really a combination of colors. The hair is white near the roots but then turns creamy ivory. The tips are burnt orange except for a ring around his mouth and nose in black and the tips of his ears are also black. His lineage includes Maltese with black points.

He is the perfect foil for our two Yorkies and we call him the middle child because even though he's the youngest he always winds up in the middle of the Yorkie pair.

I'm not snobbish or puritanical about mixed breeds because that is how many of the "pure" breed dogs came to be what they are today.
