i do want to know though.. how big typically do morkies get? |
well I am glad you love them because they are darling. Morkies just like yorkies can be anywhere from 3 lbs to 15 lbs or even larger. However that is not what they should be, the standard for a yorkie or a maltese is right around 4-7 lbs so you would think with a mix it would be around the same, but it could also vary. To me you really can not tell how big a pup will get until around the 13-16 week mark. I don't want a 3 pounder or a 13 pounder so the only way I can be sure is to buy what some people consider an older puppy, Lola was 16 weeks when I brought her home and she was around two pounds, now she is 6.5 lbs. She was my first mix, but that is what I went looking for, after paying over $1,500.00 for each of my last three purebreds I did not want to spend that much again, and to be honest I felt that I would be more likely to get a healthier "cheap" mix than a good looking healthy cheap yorkie. Unfortunately since yorkies are so popular there are so many bad breeders out there that they are ruining the breed. So IMHO the only way to get a good looking standard yorkie that hopefully is healthy is to buy from a breeder with a well known reputation and most likely shows or has shown and of course you will pay $1,500 plus. If you can't do that to me you are better off with a mix or a rescue. I also do not mean the internet sellers that talk about size and want $2,000.00, I mean the breeders you can visit and that are well known in the yorkie community.
Have you been to the vet yet, what does he say about your puppies and what is their weight and age.
