Good Morning!!!
Just wanted to tell you that I have a Morkie, who I have had for 4 years now. She is my queen!!! She weighs between 7 and 8 lbs, is the most beautiful dog you've ever seen, a beautiful silver silky coat. She is smart as a whip, and has tons of personality!!!

I got my daughter, who was 8 then, a morkie instead of a Yorkie like I have always had and still have. She is full grown and 1 lbs smaller than my baby. she weighs a little over 3 lbs. She has been an absolute joy! The best part of the Yorkie is there and the most obsessive/compulsive parts of the Yorkie are not. Which is WONDERFUL! She is smart, calm, and quite a character. We are learning their coat. Depending on the qualities she/he picks up the coat is sooooo different. Maci is so so soft and thick thick. My yorkies is thick but not soft like feathers. the maltese hair must be extremely different. It is almost full length now and I am considering braiding or wrapping. she is just now getting some mats, but unfortunately unlike our Yorkies, you don't see their mats until they are the size of a small tomatoe. Good luck! If you want to know more just email me. if u want to see a pic of Maci let me know.

I don't have any pictures of them on hand but I know of 3 yorkie/maltease mixes and the all look like totally different dogs. One has floppy ears and is apricot colored curly hair all over, one is blond almost white all over with perky ears that stand up, and the last one has a tan face with perky ears and markings like a yorkie still a baby but the black is turning silver on her back so hard to say what color she will turn out.

My Morkie, Mia is absolutely a delight and beautiful. She has such a wonderful personality. I also have a registered Yorkie and she is 6 and the boss. She is also very beautiful and they truly love one another. As for buying a morkie.....I think it is a wonderful mix of breeds. Do what you want. I bought mine from a breeder in Missouri and had her flown to Montana. She is the most well adjusted, energetic people lover I have seen in a dog. Check your breeder out online. They have quite a bit of information. Inspections....how many dogs on site etc. The breeder and I have stayed friends and email back and forth. She is always wanting more pictures of Mia and how she has adjusted in her new home. That is what you want to look for. Grooming Mia is totally different than Chloe. Mia has more of the matting from the maltese side. Try to keep her combed out, but she does hate it. Get a detangler spray and use Mane and Tail shampoo and creme rinse. Also need to keep an eye on the ears. Hers flop and it is important to keep the hair trimmed or pulled. Never had an issue with Chloe as hers stand up. Hope this helps.
