Morkies?! I'm interested in getting a Maltese/yorkie that a woman in my area is selling.....Sassy needs a playmate! :D Does anyone have a Morkie? Is it a good, Friendly mix? Also, Does anyone know how big these pups will eventually get? i'm under the impression that Maltese dogs grow to be somewhat Larger than yorkies. Please Let me know! :) |
they get about 7 pounds. they are sooooo cute and playful. almost bought one but got my lil bentley instead |
I have a friend who has a Morkie, she is sweet if somewhat stand-offish to new people, but I have seen Yorkies that way too...The size would depend on the parents too. My friend's Mork is around 5 pounds, but I have seen them as big as 10-12 pounds.... The prices for Morkies around here are the same or more than Yorkies....out of my own curiosity, why not just get another Yorkie? |
Their size are determine as if they were full blooded toy dogs. It depends on the parents size, the grandparents, the great grandparents, etc. Does she breed them or is she re-homing hers? hey, I see you're in austin! If you got some time on Wednesday morning, get at me and we could possibly meet at the dog boutique where I work! :) |
Maltese should be the exact same size as a Yorkie. The Maltese standard calls for them to be under 7lbs as well. |
2 Attachment(s) I have a maltese/yorkie. Bitsy is the best and I couldn't be happier. She rarely barks, loves all people and other animals and is very outgoing and friendly. She was pee pad trained in about 2 weeks. She is 8 months now and 8 lbs, but she's bigger than I expected. I met both her parents, and her mother is 4 lbs and her father is 4.5 lbs, so go figure! The reason I decided on a mix is because I love the quieter nature of the maltese, but didn't want a white dog. Well, Bitsy had the colouring of a Yorkie when I first got her, but now she's turning more white! I'm glad I got her, but my next dog will definitely be a full Yorkie. Here are some pics of her when she was 4.5 months old. |

My sister used to breed morkies, there are 8 in my family, and they're all pretty small..I think she used to sell hers for around $450. They are very sweet little dogs..Maltese a lot of times, are smaller than yorkies..My sister has 3 morkies, a yorkie and a maltese, the maltese is the tiniest |

4 Attachment(s) my dear friend has a morkie...she is about 9 months old and probably 8-10 lbs now. She is super sweet...pretty hyper but I blame that on my friend LOL she plays really well with maggie...but she tries to hump her non stop LOL honestly, she is a beautiful dog, very sweet, and very smart. definitely larger than maggie (maggie is 5 1/2 lbs), and she has several characteristics of both maltese and yorkie. Just be careful who you buy from. That's really the key here. some "morkie" breeders are out for a quick buck...cross breeding dogs and charging just as much..or more...for them as they do a lot of full breeds. Just check the living conditions, and I would not pay much for one. It just seems ridiculous to me that people are mixing these breeds, giving them a cute name, and selling them for big bucks. Here are some pics of Sedona. I'm convinced she has the longest tongue in dog history LOL She came from someone who used to be a member here...and another member here actually has her sister :) good luck...and let us know what you come up with :D |

I have to say she has the cutest girly look! It seems with this mix you never know how they will turn out looking as an adult. |
I think Morkies are adorable :) |
I have a Morkie! 4 Attachment(s) I have a little Morkie named Beau. He is currently 6 1/2 months old and is 3 pounds. I think he was the tiniest in the litter. He doesn't bark, potty trained in about 2 months and is very fiesty!! He loves to play and romp and is very, very curious and therefore always getting into things! He did come from purebred parents (he was an surprise) and you can see both of his parents in him. I wouldn't trade him for anything!! |

It's kind of a crap shoot in regards to how the dog will turn out--you don't know what set of genes they are going to inherit. Good luck on your new furbaby! |
