As far as your reasons for not wanting a pure bred dog.
Going back to the mixed breed situation, you never know what you will get when you are mixing breeds!
Yorkies can be hard to train, I'm sure Maltese can as well. I think that is a "small breed" thing in general. Mixing the two doesn't mean you are taking what you might consider the bad traits out of both. I think that is a myth that breeders who sell mixes try and tell buyers!
You could end up with the best of both, worst of both or a mix of the best & worst!
As far as not liking all white dogs, again you don't know what coloring a mixed breed dog will turn out to be unless you purchase the dog as an adult. Puppies change colors & they can change a lot!
Bottom line is you never know what you are going to get in looks, traits, behaviors etc.. It is a cr*p shoot! That's part of the reason you see so many mixes in shelters & rescues. People come across a cute, adorable puppy and they want one that looks just like it and then they are disappointed when they don't turn out the way they wanted!
If all the people on YT posted pictures of their Morkies, Yorkie Poos, etc... you will see from one end of the spectrum to another what they can look like!
