Funny...my husband said the exact same thing about Morkies. Men. They read something online & they think that one website is "the word". I have 2 Yorkies & a Morkie. In a perfect world, the temperament of a Yorkie & a Maltese would be, well...perfect. Of course, you'd have to breed the perfect Yorkie with the perfect Morkie & make sure the puppy is raised by the perfect breeder. Unfortunately, the chances of me willing the lottery are better. You've already gotten some great advice. I just had to put my two-cents in because I have both. I'm sure there's a great Morkie breeder out there somewhere who has the pup's best interest at heart, instead of her pocketbook. But he/she might be really difficult to find.

I've been an active participant on this forum for a little over a year now. The most important thing I've learned during this time is to look for a breeder - not a puppy. I know that sounds cliche. But it is soooo true. There is a HUGE difference between my Yorkie & Morkie rescues, and my Yorkie from a wonderful breeder. I can even begin to explain how easy it is to take care of a well bred puppy. From potty training...to eating...to being confined in a crate...it's a world of difference. That's not even taking into consideration vet bills & all of the money I'm not going to have to spend to make sure she's healthy. Plus, I have a great relationship with my breeder & I know I can always contact her if I have any questions about anything - and I have.

I love my little Morkie to death. She's the sweetest little pup ever. But I've had to be patient with her & adjust to the way she is. The thing with a mixed breed is, you never really know what you're going to get. Even puppies from the same litter are so different. If you want a healthy puppy with a great temperament, I say go with a great breeder. A breeder will match you with a pup that fits your lifestyle.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck!!
