| Anyone Have a Photo of an Adult Porkie? I have been reading and researching yorkies for quite some time now. I want to be sure when I do get one that I am prepared. What do you ladies know about Porkies? I know it is a cross breed between yorkies and pomerians. What else can you tell me? Any genetic problems? What questions should I ask the breeder? Anyone have a photo of an adult? Thanks so much for any information you can provide! -Charity |

| Thanks for the website. The markings look similar to a yorkie, but with a pom's coat texture. Is that correct? Could anyone tell me the pros and cons of a porkie? |

| Something to think about I don't have anything against mixed dogs but something to keep in mind is that they all look very different from one another. I was thinking about getting a pom and shih tzu mix but upon doing some research learned that I didn't like the way most looked as adults. Some were very cute but most that I saw were not. Anyway, my point is that with mixes it's really a gambel as to what they will look like as adults. |

| Sunny -- I see what you mean....since posting I found this website: http://stoneyck.homestead.com/YORKSHIRETERRIER.html They do all look very different -- but they are all adorable. I know I may sound terribly ignorant asking this, but is there really no way to know the coloring or type of hair as an adult? |

| My neighbor just got a Puggle... Pug / Beagle mix.... ( which I really can understand) But, I looked them up on a website, just curious what an adult might look like..... .... Not cute.... and they all looked completely different,,some were BIG some not,, some looked more beagle,,, the ones that looked more like a pug were kinda cute...but be aware, You will have NO idea what you will end up with. (If ya want a certain look to your dog, that is almost impossible to predict)

| I know if I wanted to buy a yorkie, I would buy a yorkie. If I wanted a mix breed (which is fine too) I would go to my Animal Protective League and get a mixed for about $500 less than what they are asking with probably alot more info. They are calling this sort of breeding "Designer Dogs" What do they take the public for a bunch of idiots. Sorry, but I get alittle upset with this sort of thing.

| Designer Dogs = MUTTS!!! I am so upset about these "Designer Dogs". These dogs are MUTTS. If you want a mutt, go to the pound and rescue one. I can't believe that people are paying 500, 600 or even 1500 for a MUTT!!! I have nothing against mixed breeds. I have two, but it completely bewilders me that people are willing to pay SO much for a mixed breed. My neighbor paid 450/ea for her two yorki-poo's. In the end, no matter what you call them, the bottom line is that they are mutts and you are getting RIPPED OFF by these breeders!!! The pound has a smorgasboard of Designer Dogs!!!! This is NOT directed at anyone in particular. I just had to vent!

| I agree! I would LOVE a Morkie just from what I've learned about them here on YT. Those that have shown pics of their's have shown me how adorable they are but when I researched prices I found them to be ridiculously expensive. I could add a few bucks and get my little Yorkie girl instead...but would still LOVE to cuddle one

| Xtine's Oreo is very CUTE but does not have the Yorkie markings - Oreo is almost solid black! As you can see by my avatar, I have a Maltese/Yorkie & Stormy is almost solid black - looks like a black maltese with a little white under her chin. & Velobabe, Stormy DOES LOVE TO CUDDLE! We did pay a price for her, but I don't have a problem paying for ANY dog - it's what your pocketbook can afford & what you want as a pet! Just like I can go to target & buy a pair of jeans or I can buy a pair of "Sevens or Citizen" jeans for $200 - they are still jeans!! (We all spend money different ways & we all have different opinions! ) |
