I'm interested I have seen some of the most adorable little things on this board, but I have a question about the little mixed dogs. Some owners have told me it is Yorkie mixed with Maltese, and some look like they might be yorkie mixed with Lasha or maybe s**tz....am I correct??? Do these new breeds have a name, and how popular is this practice??? Also does anyone have pictures of what they look like as adults??? They sure are cuties, but I still have to go with a pure Yorkie for myself. |
Some folks call them "designer" breeds, but they are still mixes/mutts and even though they can be very adorable, I would never pay the price most are asking simply because they have put a fancy label on them. |
Are you referring to the Parti Yorkies that some members have on YT? Or the Briewers maybe? You ARE talking about dogs that you've seen on this site, right? |

I think they do have names, but I can't remember them all offhand. I think mixing breeds is pretty popular. They are all really adorable, but shouldn't cost MORE than a full bred Yorkie. I don't consider a Biewer to be in the mixed breed catagory. To me they are a breed unto themselves and will eventually be recognized as such, I hope. |

Lets see a yorkie / poodle is a yorkiepoo but I can't think of any others either. |
Chip is predominantly a Yorkie, and I'm pretty sure part Chihuahua. He was a rescue so I have no idea to be sure. I call him a Yorhuahua, but I have also heard Yorkihuahua, and Chorkie. When he was first adopted he was super skinny, less than 10lbs now he has grown into a little over 14lbs. You can see pics of him on his Dogster page http://www.dogster.com/dogs/596293 |

shih tuz/yorkie - shorkie. I wouldn't spend the same amount on a mix, but that being said, they can be wonderful pets too. My Teddy is a mix (half maltese half yorkie) and when people ask me what he is I tell them he is a mix. I never call him a morkie because I think it gives the wrong impression - My boyfriend makes fun of the whole mix-breed thing and always calls Teddy a morkie poo or some other combo of breeds. I didn't set out looking for a mix or "designer dog," but when I went to the breeder (she bred maltese and yorkies) she had a litter of crosses and when I saw his face it was love. |

What they are 'called' depends on what the person trying to make $$$ off of them decides to label them as. They don't have 'official' names because the are not 'official' breeds.:) |
