My bias is going to come out, I am a show breeder and proud of it. No CKC breeder can or should breed mixes - in fact it is against our code of ethics!


You need to know that you will be in essence doubling up on the health issues for Yorkies and Maltese - for liver disease eg: liver shunts and MVD Yorkies according to some research is no1 and no 2 or 3 is Maltese. And that means it is very common health issue in these breeds.


It astounds me to think that someone is going to want to pay $2500 for a mixed breed dog. When you cross one purebred with another purebred - sorry to say but you do not create a NEW PUREBRED Breed. And there is simple poppycock that this mix is healthier than either one of the purebreds.


I urge you if you are going to drop this kind of $$ that you go with a purebred show breeder. If you want a mix go to the shelter and adopt one for $250 or so
