(and by the way, because of some of the posts in this thread about mixes, including my own, I want to add that I'm not at all asking this in a sarcastic or contentious way....just wondering, because I haven't heard, what traits one would hope for in mixing those two breeds. Rosie is indeed adorable!)

Originally, I couldn't decide between a yorkie and a maltese... and I wanted to find a breeder who bred both and knew a lot about both breeds. when I found Sharon, I noticed that she did the yorkie/maltese mixes... so I selected a puppy from the recent litter. But, after explaining what exactly I was looking for in a dog, she told me she thought the yorkie bichon mix would be better for me. Bichons are known for being well tempered, calm, good with kids, and also hypoallergenic. I wanted a very calm puppy... which she definitely was! Rosie is EXTREMELY timid (which can be a burden or a blessing!) Rosie's fur is more like the texture of a bichon, curly; but, her markings are that of a yorkie (she's frequently mistaken for a yorkie when we're out and about, and I also get the question, "Why don't her ears stand up?") I MAINLY got her because at the time I was living with an allergy sufferer and I wanted a puppy that wouldn't bother my roommate (which was the main reason I didn't stick with the yorkie/maltese mix... not hypoallergenic) When I moved back in with my parents, I got Jack... who is NOT hypoallergenic and who causes my ex-roommate to itch her eyes when she's around. It's so sad too because she LOVES Jack and he LOVES her. Anyway, that's my story.

| Yorkies and maltese do not shed That's so strange that your roommate was allergic to the yorkie/maltese mix but not to the yorkie/bichon.

| Thanks for the answers about the bichon! I didn't know that they were non-shedding/hypoallergenic. I knew that when mixing yorkies with Maltese many people are hoping for the more laidback personality, so that's interesting about the bichon too.

| Your pups are darling and I'm glad you have a great experience With that said I don't understand the mix breeding and why people want them and pay the high price tag vs a purebred for the same price. With mixing I don't see how you can ever really know what traits you are going to get. Which parent will throw what trait? With Yorkies I would think people like the coats and with mixing you won't get that type of coat. Can I ask the OP what you didn't like about a purebred Yorkie that would make you buy a mix? I am not putting down mixes at all just really don't understand. I can kind of get the labradoodles because of a medium size dog that might not shed ( not many to choose from) but on the smaller non -shed I don't get it. |

| Hypo allergenic dogs Hi all I'm brand new to this forum. I don't own a yorkie, yet, but am considering a mixed breed maltese/yorkie. I am definitely looking into Sharon Hill and Truepuppylove also. I currently have a maltese/bichon mix and I am sold on mixes. I am very allergic to dogs (although not as much as to cats!) and my maltichon has not caused a single problem. First of all, all dogs shed. Some shed all over the couch and the rug, and everywhere in between. Their fur is hard to vacuum up. Dogs like mine lose their hair, the same way we humans do. It tends to collect with the dust bunnies in the corners and under the couch. The real trick to living with a dog when you have allergies is bathing them. My baby gets a bath about once a week. Being all white it's obvious when he needs one. My allergy is severe. I don't just get a runny nose and itchy eyes, I get a full-blown asthma attack. I have never even had a tight chest with my maltichon. My allergies are also what prevent me from going to a shelter to find a rescue. Five minutes in there and they would have to call an ambulance. Going to the vet about undoes me. So, to the OP, how are your babies doing now? I would love to see current pictures. |

| I know that this is very late but I just wanted to say I bought a morkie from Sharon at truepuppylove and she is the best dog I have ever had. I bought her in 2008 and she is perfect. Anytime someone comes in contact with her they are thoroughly impressed with how great she is. So pinkFashionista, if you still read this, I agree 100% with everything you have said on here |
