Hello everyone. I am from the Western NY area and I'm looking to buy a female Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix) pup. I saw one in a local pet store and fell in love, but knowing them to be a puppy mill I refrained from purchasing the little furball.

Therefore, before anyone starts flaming about puppy mills and backyard breeders and telling me to get a purebred. I have done *extensive* research and read many posts, articles, etc. and have my heart set on a Morkie, so please don't try to dissuade me because it will not work. I have read Morkie threads on here and see the anti-mix spam that occurs and I do not want that here. So if you have an opinion that is not helpful in locating somewhere I can purchase a healthy, happy, well brought up pup, please keep it to yourself.

I know about rescue operations and I have put my name in at many of them requesting a female morkie pup if one comes in, but the waiting lists can be quite long and they don't get many. More common mixes include yorkiepoos. I have covered a wide area, up to a 5 hour drive away, but I have had no luck.

Having exhausted the ideas that I can think of and that I have garnered from the internet, I can't seem to find anywhere to purchase them that isn't associated with a puppy mill operation and I am becoming disheartened. Morkies seem awfully difficult to track down from "proper" sources.

I just want a puppy who is super cute, won't shed a lot, and that I won't be allergic to (as I have severe health issues). My body didn't react negatively to the Morkie at all (and yes, before someone says something I know that the Maltese and Yorkies have the same hypoallergenic/nonshed traits, they are the parents of Morkies after all, but I have my heart set on a Morkie and I do not want a purebred). I'm fully prepared to take on the responsibility (I've been doing a lot of research. I came across this forum looking for potty training tips.), now i just need to find out how to safely and humanely purchase my future furbaby <3

So what I'm asking of you all, is if you know of any *respectable* breeders in my area that I could purchase a female morkie pup from? I'd love to get a solid reference, preferably from someone who personally knows a breeder, has bought from them before, or personally owns a morkie they have bred. Thanks so much in advance for the help!
