Morkie Hello everyone! I'm new! I'm about to get a 4 month old Morkie. Does anyone know about when they stop groing and about on average how big they get? Thanks so much for your help! Any advice would be great! |
Welcome to YT! |
Usually with small breeds, around 6-7 mos they pretty much quit growing...can't wait to see pictures of your baby |
Welcome! Glad to have you here! Not sure when those pups stop growing. I think by 10 months or so, but not for sure. I know at a certain age (8 wks?) you double or triple the weight and that should be their adult weight. Someone will know for sure. :D |
She said he is 4 months and 4-5 lbs. |

Size and look of parents is not an indicator as you know nothing about the grandparents etc. |

Buying at Walmart is not going to get you Liz Claiborne quality. Visit the website of any reputable show breeder who has been around a very long time and is well known you will see a certain type in their dogs and even the quality of the ones they sell for pets is awesome. I groomed a purebred registered Sheltie and a purebred registered Papillon in the last couple of days, both purchased for pet from excellent show breeders. The quality of both of these was lovely and so nice to work on for pet grooming. |
Welcome to YT, and congrats on your new furball :) |
What a cute morkie. I also have a morkie, she weights about 6.4 lbs. She is 10 months old. |
Lordy, we have 7 morkies in our family, the largest one is around 14 lbs, the other ones are all under 8 pounds. he is a doll baby. Someone asked about the breeder I bought my teapot from...:) she was normal size when she was little, but, kept growing..she probably should have been around 4 lbs. It's called throw back, remember, years ago, these dogs were bred to be around 14 or more pounds.. |

I have a yorkie and a morkie. they seem to be about the same when it comes to all that. he is about 7 months now and i think is finally done growing. he is about 7 pounds as is my yorkie, although they look different sizes because of their body build. maltese average 6-12 pounds i what i am told yorkie average 7 pounds so mine both ended up at 7 pounds. the mix seems a little tinier but he has shorter legs and is more "stalky" and my yorkie has longer legs and leaner.\ Hope this helps! |
2 Attachment(s) He is just adorable, and you are so lucky to be getting him. Did you see the mom and dad or know any history of previous litters? That would help, but not be a guaranty of size. Just as with Yorkies, they can have growth spurts at different ages, but many slow down around 6-8 months. I have a Morkie, Meika, who is 5 months old and weighs 6 lbs. Her mom is 6# and dad is 4# and pups from the 2 previous litters were said to be between 4-6#. Her color is more redish brown, which I see less often. I also have a Yorkie that is 7 months, and 7#, and like the previous poster said the Morkie is shorter and stalkier. There are lots of Morkies here on Yorkie Talk. They are wonderful furbabies, just as their originating Yorkies and Maltese. Ok, I'm going to show her off since this is a Morkie thread: |
FYI Actually this is their standard Weight under 7 pounds, with from 4 to 6 pounds preferred. Very much the size of yorkies. For them to be bigger is just out of their standard like bigger yorkies.:) Good luck with purchase. |
