| My rescue, Ella Bean, I believe is a 'Morkie' She was a rescue, so I don't have her exact lineage, but she is definitely half Yorkie and the other half seems like a Maltese. Mine is teeny - she was 1 lb. when I got her at 5 months and now she is a year and about 2.5 lbs. I will say, she is a great pet, with an awesome personality. She rarely ever barks, only during play, is loving, affectionate and brave. She knows she is small, but plays with my bigger dog without any fear. Plus, she was SUPER easy to potty train!!

| Your new baby is soo adorable! I also have a Morkie and he is 15 months and 5 pounds. His parents were in that range, so that was kind of what I expected. What did surprise me is how much their color changes as the grow. They start out very dark and usually lighten up considerably. Follow this link http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...rkie-beau.html to see a recent post from me showing how much Beau has changed since he was a puppy! Welcome to YT! |

| What a cutie!! My morkie is 6 months old now, but i'd guess around 4 months she weighed about 4 lbs. Morkies are amazing...you'll get the best of both breeds. As you already read you will notice that they do lighten up a lot with their color. Mine was a dark baby and is coming in silverish/white on her head and back. Here's some pictures of my Bella to give you an idea of what to expect.... oh and be sure to post some pictures when you get your baby!! |

| Mine was almost red as a baby, but now she is more whitish/blonde. Love these guys! I loved rescuing but I think I want a purebred Yorkie!!

| Thank you! She was a mess when I adopted her...almost no hair and skinny as a rail, but now she is a lil' fluffball with SO much energy. She makes me smile every day.

I would be more concerned about where the puppy was coming from, rather than how big it will get. It's extremely hard to find a good mixed breed "breeder," some would say it's impossible. Petshops, puppymillers and online brokers are not good options. That pretty much leaves you with BYBs, who usually get there dogs from the above mentioned sources. JMHO, not trying to start a fight. | |

| My "Morkie" was a rescue from a puppymill that had been raided in South Florida. When I got her, she was in county animal services because she was too sick too go to one of the rescues. She was scheduled for euthanasia because the resources needed for her care and her chances of living just weren't there. Her tail wasn't docked - it had been severed by a metal cage and was infected. She had a large gash along her outer right thigh. She was malnourished, hypoglycemic and had kennel cough. She was caked in urine and feces. All this and she was less then a pound at 3 months old. It is a miracle she is alive today and while I love her with my whole heart and wouldn't trade all of the hard work and money it has taken to get her healthy for ANYTHING, it is my sincerest wish that puppymills would be banished. In the meantime, the dogs who make it out alive, deserve warm, loving homes. It sure isn't there fault that they were stuck in such an awful situation. That said, please make sure you are buying from a reputable source. If this is an internet seller, its most likely a puppymill or backyard breeder, whose care for their animals may be as compromised as puppymills. There is something to be said for the health of a 'mutt' vs the genetic weakness in purebreds, but please make sure you aren't financing a veritable prison for dogs. There are so many mixed breed rescues - and purebreds who need homes... I wish you nothing but the best with your new baby and hope that you find a great puppy from a great breeder or rescue.
