If you love yorkies, then I would say to get a yorkie from a reputable breeder who breeds to standard. If you want a maltese, then I would say to purchase a maltese from a reputable breeder.

Just wanted to say that I agree with that...even though the puppy looks like a yorkie as a puppy means nothing...it will look totally different as an adult..Morkies are mostly cute though..google Morkie images and you will see how different they all look from one another..

I do have to say, out of the 6 that are still in "the family", the two that had more white when they were born, stayed mostly white, and the other 4 that looked more like yorkies still look like yorkies..My cousin also has one, it never changed either..

I used to get on another pet forum, and a member posted a picture of her yorkie/maltese mix. As a puppy, she looked just like a yorkie, but her hair eventually started to lighten up a lot. As an adult her hair is white and she looks just like a maltese. It was amazing how much her hair changed

I have a yorkie and a shih tzu/poo. I love my Oliver(shihpoo), but if I had it to do over again, I would definately get a yorkie from a rescue. He is a sweet boy and I love him to pieces, but he's not a yorkie, they have some very distinct traits that I love. Good Luck to you in your search for a playmate.

My answer...I think that each breed should be bred with the exact same breed...no mixing. JMO

I agree

Milo is a Yorkie Poo, he is the sweetest, and most well behaved dog I have ever none. I am fortunate that he can come to work with me I manage a retail store and he hangs in my office, he has visitors come to see him all the time, and sometimes with people I know really welll he goes on playdates, I could not ask for a better dog. The one thing you must keep in mind if you want yorkie coloring you must find a pup with similar yorkie puppy color, my sisters yorkie poo is all black where as you can see from my avitar milo has yorkie coloring, also what size was the Poodle, that will determine the full grown size of the pup, Milo is on the samll size he is not quite 7lb.

As long as they don't get too big (since Roxy is so small I dont want anything that would hurt her or overbear her or else I wouldnt care), and I want them to be the color of a Yorkie... So what does everybody think?? Do you think this could be a good decision? I could give them some good love And I know Roxy doesnt really care who she plays with, as long as they're fun! What do you guys think? Your opinion matters to me, I'm sure some of you guys know or have, or have had Yorkiepoo's or Morkies.

After reading the comments I guess I should apologize up front. That said, I like the mixes. I think Morkies are very cute. And I think almost anything mixed with a poodle is usually a good dog and is cute. Not everyone wants a show dog or a show dog quality. Just a beautiful, wonderful little dog to love as a pet.

I know I bred my shih tzu with a poodle 16 years ago..well, she wouldn't take a shih tzu(we tried 3 different males), so ended up breeding her to a poodle..My Mom took one of the boys, he just died at 15 last Feb. and he was the best dog, omg, she loved that little guy to death..anyway, he was healthy from day one, and everyone loved that little guy..And like I said, the morkies my sisters dog had, the ones that looked yorkie when they were born still look yorkie, and the ones that looked more maltese stayed looking more like maltese, and the youngest ones now are 5 years..

I guess it's not worth it to me to keep bad breeders in business. There are too many unwanted animals, too many being euthanized each year, too many being abused and neglected, too many that are unhealthy...I just can't support bad breeders with all of that going on. I will only support reputable breeders that breed for the right reasons or I'll rescue a dog from a shelter or rescue.

I think Morkies are adorable!the breeds are kinda the same.
I dont think you are a BAD breeder because you have a litter of Morkies or whatever the desinger is.
Some good Breeders have mixes they just do not tell anyone!!!

I think they are cute, but then again all puppies are cute. I wouldn't pay the amount of money that people ask for mixed breed dogs though. I honestly feel that they shouldn't be more then $50.. being that they shouldn't be bred to begin with. If she is going to sell you a mix for a really reasonable price then I say go for it, if not then you should just get yourself another yorkie and then you can assure you will have one with yorkie coloring. My sister has a Morkie and she is an awesome dog, she is beautiful but isn't anywhere near the color of a yorkie.... unless you wanted to compare her to a very light colored golden yorkie ♥ of course that would open up a whole new can of worms

Well, now, my sister was very reputable, and hers were morkies(all)...she never had a puppy left, and she only sold to people she knew or were related(she didn't want any of them being so far from her she couldn't see them)..and she has a degree in psychology..so, there is one reputable breeder..and believe me, she read for years before she actually went in to breeding...she quit breeding after 4 or 5 litters because it tore her up so bad when she had to let them go..

just because all puppies get sold doesn't mean a breeder is reputable. What were her reasons for breeding these mixes? What age did she let the puppies go? What kind of health testing did she do? How old were mom & dad at first breeding and how old when retired? How often were they bred? Did she sell on a spay/neuter contract?

I know quite a few and one belongs to YT and still posts and one does not post anymore,Give you there names no because they do not want anyone to know for they will be bashed just like everything else on here that some of you do not like,you bash and bash and bash. and do not know when to quit.And they have VERY good lines that they are breeding.Every breeder has their own opinions about when to let their pups go it is not just ones opinion! And what they are using for stud etc
