Hey guys, there's another site I found that claim they do all the breeding themselves and they have the mom and dad, also they only breed that specific kind of puppy breed.

Please have a look at the link below and tell me what your feel is on them

I noticed a few years ago when I was searching online that a lot of these websites are selling expensive breeds for just a few hundred dollars... and they were all located in PA!!

It's very sad, but I'm lucky to have found a reputable breeder. She keeps in touch with me as well. She let's me ask questions and offers me advice- she's been such a big help and a great resource. She actually told me about this Forum.

Yes the Amish are notorious for puppy mils, you would vomit if you saw the living conditions of these poor dogs. Just writing this gives me flash backs of a TV news broadcast of an undercover reporter, deplorable, filthy conditions. This one where they had the undercover reporter was shut down, but they open new ones else where. Yes you are very lucky to have found a rep. breeder.

My bias is going to come out, I am a show breeder and proud of it. No CKC breeder can or should breed mixes - in fact it is against our code of ethics!

You need to know that you will be in essence doubling up on the health issues for Yorkies and Maltese - for liver disease eg: liver shunts and MVD Yorkies according to some research is no1 and no 2 or 3 is Maltese. And that means it is very common health issue in these breeds.

It astounds me to think that someone is going to want to pay $2500 for a mixed breed dog. When you cross one purebred with another purebred - sorry to say but you do not create a NEW PUREBRED Breed. And there is simple poppycock that this mix is healthier than either one of the purebreds.

I urge you if you are going to drop this kind of $$ that you go with a purebred show breeder. If you want a mix go to the shelter and adopt one for $250 or so

Welcome

These ARE NOT YORKIES the are MORKIES, which is a cross between a purebred Yorkshire terrier and a purebred Maltese.
In my day when one breed was mated with another breed the puppies were considered MUTTS, today they have a fancy name and are called " designer " dogs, a Morkie is NOT A PURE PEDIGREE. However the Morkie is an adorable dog and in high demand. If you are looking for a yorkie this is NOT the breeder for you. Anyone that breeds cross breeds is NOT a reputable breeder, a reputable breeder would NEVER mate two diff. breeds.

Quite simply you are either a purebred dog breeder or not. If you breed two diff breeds together you simply have no idea how the litter will turn out. No idea of anything - size, temperament health structure coat color etc etc.

As I said if you want a Mix goto a local shelter and get one. But do not pay $2500 for the priviledge of owning a mix with no health guarantee no anything guarantee.

Small Yorkies (of which I have some experience) are known to often have more health issues. That means you need to get a good health contract when you purchase. Also they are fragile and can get injured more easily so have to be more careful with them. If another dog or animal gets ahold of them it is usually a disastee, so you have to be vigilant.

You can't show or breed the tiny ones so keep that in mind, and they really need to be healthy to be spayed.

Breeders can never guarantee what the weight of a pup will be until they are older so getting a young puppy is going to mean they may get bigger than you think. MOST IMPORTANT - no reputable breeder will intentionally breed "tinies". So beware of those that do. Reputable breeders know the issues these
little ones have and do not intentionally breed those problems into any dog.

Good luck with your search.

I just want to say I absolutely love this post. Full of such useful information and advice.

I can tell your that reputable breeds do not want to be assisated with that word period. It is a word used to make money and ONLY used by bad breeders.

Again reputable breeders do not use the word teacup and they do not breed mixes.

Yes there are people that will pay that much for a mixed breed dog. I just have to shake my head over that.

KairaPup · 09-24-2015, 06:43 PM

Neither site you have posted is reputable. Stay away from them.

You should never be looking at paying that kind of money for a mutt. A cute mutt, sure, so is my chorkie, but a mutt none the same. I got my girl at the shelter.

mybellababy · 09-26-2015, 07:40 AM

If you want a mix breed go for it I think 2500 is way to much for no papers it is a mix and is the mom and dad papered or mixed as well? The last place you showed I would go and get there Vets name and ask the Vet some questions . They seem to have alot of happy buyers put thats just internet reality. You must make this your reality.

There adult dog pic don't seem that small if thats what they say they are selling yes they are tiny when they are babys put any adult pics they show are a healthy size.

Its good that you are asking questions put in the end only you can decide. Some of us have given you some good options that we have proven to be good maybe you should look at some of those.

If you decide on any place with teacup in its add you are asking for problems that just my opinion

I hope you find a healthy pup to love.

ironmike86 · 09-26-2015, 08:04 AM

Teacup Morkies. The Best in Canada??? That would be enough for me not to buy from that breeder. The $2500 price tag? What merits that? You dont know what your getting..I can understand paying money for a mixed dog but not an outrageous price. I can go buy a puppy sired from Champions for less then that. One Yorkie and one Maltese and start pumping out puppies. Sell them as designer teacups and start ripping ppl off.
