| Hiya, It's difficult to say as a Morkie is not a breed but a mixed breed whose characteristics will vary as a result. It would be like mixing a Doberman with a Collie and asking if the dog is really Doberman and Collie even though it looks more like one than the other. Who could say? I would recommend looking further into what purebred dogs are and researching reputable breeders for toy dogs if that is your interest. Otherwise, accept you are looking at a mixed breed and you will probably find tons of adorable puppies at a shelter for much less. |

| As SirTeddykins has stated Morkies are not a BREED it is a mix, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese, in my days as a kid, mixed dogs were called MUTTS, today they are called designer dogs,none the less Morkies are cute, but not a "breed". A lot of Morkies such as your picture do look like Yorkshire Terriers.

Purebreds have an expected look. Mixed breeds are wildcards - you'll never know for sure what mixes you have in there and cannot expect any specific exact 'look'. If you're not looking for a purebred, then please adopt as there is enough abandoned mixed breds at the rescues, rather than supporting backyard breeders.

| Being so young, the pup will go through ALOT of changes the first year. You won't know for sure until they're "fully grown". |
