Anyone with a Morkie?
 

Hi everyone! I'm Lori and I'm the new mom to 11 wk old Bella, our adorable 2 pound Morkie puppy. I know this is a Yorkie forum, but I'm hoping that I'll be welcome anyway. Bella looks just like a Yorkie and has most of the behavior traits of a Yorkie. I spent a lot of time on this forum just reading before I joined and I believe this is a good match for us...please let me know if this is okay.

My hubby adopted Bella for me as an early Christmas present. I've always wanted a Yorkie, but after seeing the pics of Bella, I couldn't resist her. She has been the sweetest gift I've ever received. She's doing very well with housebreaking on her peepee pads, but we did have to move a rug out of the living room because she had started using that instead. Now that it's gone, she is back to using the pee pee pads. We are trying to reward her everytime she goes in the right place and so far it seems to be working. Keep your fingers crossed for me...this is my biggest fear with having an indoor dog as I have MS and sometimes I have a little trouble getting around well.

Bella loves to play and has actually started yipping just a little while in play. My hubby called me at work to let me hear her first "words"...lol. She's learned to jump off the couch, but it still scares me a little as we have hardwood floors. If I see she is wanting down, I try to place her on the floor to keep her from jumping. I read somewhere in these forums where someone had ramps and stairs in place...where would I find something like this for her?

Just wanted to introduce ourselves...looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hi and Welcome to Yorkie Talk Lori and Bella! There are quite a few Morkies here on Yorkie Talk, and you are definitely welcome. Can't wait to see pics of Bella.

I have a 5 month old Morkie girl, Meika, and an 8 month old Yorkie girl, Tiki, (oh and a 13 yr. old Schnauzer boy Niko). My Morkie is the brown one in my avatar, and she looks more like a brown Maltese.

Thank you so much for the welcome! I just got up to get the kids off to school and apparently Bella got a little bored last night. I haven't been crating her at night because she cried so much, and really haven't had a problem...until last night. She tore her pee pad to pieces and it was ALL over my living room. Gotta love her...lol. I'm attaching a few different pics so you can get an idea what she looks like. I do have to say that I believe I have the cutest Morkie in Ringgold, GA... :p

She is a doll! She really does have the Yorkie color/characteristics so far, and now comes the surprise of seeing her go thru many changes and not knowing how she will look as an adult. I think it is quite fun and exciting not having any expectations; they just keep getting cuter all the time.

I'm surprised more Morkie owners haven't posted here. On your profile page you can join the social group "Mix it UP" which is for mixes, and you'll see lots of Morkies there. Also do a search on the main page of Yorkie Talk for Morkies, and you'll see the many threads where we have discssed them. Don't get turned off by some of the posters who are against mixing breeds though. There are plenty of us who feel that in Morkies you get the best of both Maltese and Yorkie.

Give Bella a hug for me!

she is a doll:) i have a chorkie and i love that she has the yorkie personality:) keep posting pics so we can watch her grow:)

Awww, you sweet baby is precious!! I was told by the seller that my Sammie is full blooded Yorkie, but I definitely think she's a morkie. It was obvious when I first saw her, but my heart was lost in that sweet face, so I didn't argue the point. She was worth every penny. (Pics below)

Welcome to YT! I believe my Ella Bean is a 'Morkie'! She is a rescue, so I can't be certain, but she is definitely half Yorkie and has light fur and the cottony coat of a Maltese. Her personality is ALL Yorkie though!

This is a fantastic resource and you will make wonderful friends! Can't wait to see pictures of your little one!

I have a morkie and a yorkipoo. Bowie is my morkie and he is so amazing, he makes me smile so much. Ava is my yorkipoo and she is a typical girly girl

I am a proud owner of a Morkie! She was born on June 30th. She is now about 5 pounds. I love her so much! She only barks when she is left along, and unfortunately she has a cottony coat which is hard to maintain even with the puppy cut. I have no idea what she is going to look like, she is is always changing her looks. She was mostly black except the tan on lower legs, under her ears, and her nose. The tan/whitish color is now starting to creep into other areas.

SO cute! Mine has the cottony coat too, but she is an 'apricot color' with a few random Yorkie black hairs and the tips of her ears are dark. She has gotten lighter...She is just a year now, I dont know her exact birthday...She is 2 and a half pounds and also, never barks EXCEPT when she wants to play!!! Her bark is so big, it makes her whole body vibrate! She is my little sunshine!

I find the best way to maintain the cottony coat is daily action with a slicker brush and using a spray in detangler...its not an easy coat to deal with, but she is SOOO cute, I dont care!! LOL

Welcome to YT! Bella is adorable. :)

Welcome to YT!! Your pup is adorable. :D

:animal-paI dont have my Morkie yet, but she is due to come to her new home on December 23rd. This is a christmas present for my two children ages 7 and 12. I am going to pick her up and im so excited. She is 3 hours away, it is definitely like expecting a new baby! Let's stay in touch, i may need some help with the potty training. BTW Yours is adorable, i will be sure to post pictures when she gets here...Wish me luck!:animal36

I have a 11 year old morkie Peanut that I wouldn't take a million dollars for he is the best!:D

My Morkie Gucci turns 7 mo on the first and he is the best thing to happen to us. Challenging in the training department, but only because he's so obstinate! He knows where he should go and when he's done something wrong. It's a dead giveaway when he quietly crawls past and his ears are lowered!

I have a beautiful Morkie boy. He is 1 now. He is my little prince and he knows it.

Welcome!

All of the pics posted were just adorable!

Hi Lori! :wavey: Welcome to YT! It sounds like you are being a wonderful Mommy & I can't wait to see pics of Bella! As you can see, I LOVE her name!!:D

I remembered you were looking for stairs/ramp. I came across this & thought it was cute. I might just want one too!:p

Welcome
 

Welcome to YorkieTalk!! My Mitzy is a Morkie but she has all the maltese traits.. either way I hang out around here sometimes LOL I can't wait to see how your lovely girl grows up!!

Welcome! I too have a Morkie named Beau who is 16 months old! Follow this link to see a recent posting with pictures of him http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...rkie-beau.html

He has gone through several color transitions and is lighter than I would have believed he could become. He just keeps gettting cuter and cuter! :)

Welcome, my minnie is also a morkie. I think she is more maltese than yorkie.
She is so pleasant and was very easy to train. Good Luck!

I feel ya! Alfie has the cotton coat as well. It's a pain to upkeep. She's beautiful btw!

Oh and yes, I have a morkie and I love him so much. He's a beautiful puppy and so well-behaved when he isn't chewing the house up ;-). He's so much fun and has the cutest personality!

I am greatly in need for advice! My Morkie has very cottony coat. I have bought two different types of detangler, condition, and have tried several different types of combs to comb her coat to get rid of tiny not even hardly seeible matts and nothing is working! I don't want to hurt her and I don't want to shave her... since we live in the Northwest and snow is just around the corner but if I can't figure something out I will have no choice.
Help anyone????:confused:

Morkies seem to be a very popular mix. Your's is really cute. Have a long happy life together.

No advise - you're lucky she has so much hair - Gucci was losing his hair a couple of months ago, but now has filled in - I'm afraid he'll never have the full coat a lot of Morkies have, but he's our cutie! He had soooo much hair when he was little (he's now a whopping 4#).
