Some folks look for Poodle mixes because of allergies and such. Their doctors recommend them.
Just a little insight.....

That's a myth, most crosses cannot guarantee hypoallergenic depending on the breeds they are mixed with and then as in purebreds, it depends on the allergen affecting the person. Medical doctors do not know anything about dog breeds, purebred or mixed.
A purebred maltese, poodle, yorkie, bichon are just some examples of hypoallergenic breeds that are usually suitable to people with allergies again depending on what the person is allergic to.
I say usually because if it is dog dander the person is allergic to, then no breed will be suitable. Some dog allergies are to the fur such as that in labs or german shepherds for example. The famous claim of labradoodles being hypoallergenic won't work if the puppy hits back more into the lab parent. I have seen more than ones offered for sale as the new owner was allergic to it.
A Morkie, Porkie Yorkie poo is a mix aka mutt. And I agree with Peters, there are too many already, go to a shelter and rescue one, there are enough of them there.
