I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question. My yorkie of 14.5 years died in June. I decided to try a morkie because my yorkie had collapsing trachea, patella, and eventually died of heart failure (but he lived a long, active happy life!). I thought a mixed breed might be heartier and hot a morkie. My little Julio the morkie died Sunday of Reverse PDA at six months of age. It was horrible. It's a hole in the heart that can't be fixed. The vets tried to save him saying he could live 2 to 5 yrs on special meds but he took a turn for the worst and the prognosis was bad for him having a happy life and we decided to end his suffering. I'm distraught. He was the light of my life and an amazing, smart and precious dog. I want to try again with this mix but want to make sure I find a reputable breeder and thought this might be a good place to ask. Thoughts?

PS-my vets said my morkie breeder (who actually breeds yorkies and just one morkie litter per year) was not to blame since Reverse PDA is such a rare disease. She is going to give me another dog but won't have a morkie litter for a while. I want a puppy now. My heart is so broken.
