| Update: I adopted a morkie! Hi everyone, (Update follows further below) By way of background, I signed up for YorkieTalk and posted for the first time back in early December. I directed my post to people who were proud parents of morkies (maltese/yorkie cross), and asked advice as to where they obtained theirs and on finding a morkie "breeder" generally. I asked that responses not be directed at debating the value of purebred dogs versus "mixed breeds". I had read through the forums on YorkieTalk prior to posting, and I read a very lengthy debate on this issue, so I felt I understood the issues & already had a sense of people's views. Nevertheless, some posters responded expressing their concerns of mixing breeds and non AKC or CKC accredited breeders. I just wanted to let you know that I read *everyone's* responses to my post, but I didn't post again because I didn't want to enter the debate. * UPDATE * As an update to the many of you who expressed your encouragement, I wanted to let you know that I ADOPTED A MORKIE! Her name is Tulip and she is now 4 months old. I am *so* happy that I got her. Tulip is so sweet. I am at work, and Tulip is lying on my lap right now sleeping. My rescued beagle, Daisy, was originally quite put out about the newcomer, but Daisy has since fallen madly in love with Tulip and the two of them play. It is really funny to watch them play together - Daisy is 20 pounds, Tulip is only 3.5, but Daisy is gentle. When they play, it looks like the 2 of them are howling - they throw their heads back with their mouths wide open. And Tulip will actually throw herself onto Daisy's back! Tulip is almost cat-like. She likes high places (the back of the couch) and walks and eats very gracefully. She has been so easy to train - she uses her puppy mat religiously. She sleeps on the bed with me, and when she has to pee at night, she wakes me up so I can put her on her puppy mat!! She already walks nicely on a harness and leash - she just follows Daisy! During the day, Daisy goes with the dog walker on a 3 hour hike in the mountans, so Tulip comes to work with me. As for the "breeder" - she is a lovely, church going woman who spent a lot of time talking to me on the phone prior to getting Tulip. I made a 2 hour drive to her house, to meet the pups and the momma. I still telephone and e-mail the lady so she can hear how wonderful Tulip is! So thank you to all those who were supportive. I have my little morkie Tulip and she is absolutely perfect! |

| I love your little Morkie Tulip too and she seems adorable! How lucky for you. I posted on your original thread in December. I have a gorgeous and sweet Morkie, as well as two Yorkies. I bring him, along with his "sister" to work every day too. Everywhere we go children and adults alike fawn all over him because he truly looks like a little teddy bear! He's my slowest walker, he's the youngest so he still struggles to keep up with the Yorkies. His coloring is nothing like a Yorkie but he does have the sweetness in his personality. I love Yorkies because of their nature. Congratulations on your little Tulip, enjoy!

| I'm so glad you decided on the little Morkie. I also have one, and I think he is spectacular! Hope Tulip keeps doing so well!

| Thank you! The photo up is actually one the breeder e-mailed me. I do have tons on my camera which I will post this weekend! (I am technically challenged). Everyone has the cutest photos of their little ones so I will have to catch up! It is so much fun having a puppy & watching her see and explore things for the 1st time. She saw her 1st pigeon yesterday and went nuts trying to chase it. Today, she discovered digging (in the public gardens in the park mind you!). Daisy is 6 years old, and it has been great for her. Daisy copies Tulip and is playing with toys more and just seems "young again". |
