Morky
 

I have a chance to adopt a female Morky.
Was wondering who all has one on this site?
They are asking 4400.00 for her
shes 6 months old.
any info on Morkys ?

wanted to add My first Yorkie mix was a Yorky/ malt is that the same as a Morky?
The one I had was a rescue at 5 weeks and had been stepped on and was never normal, but oh so sweet.

Morkie = yorkie/maltese so you are correct.
Do you mean the adoption fee is $440.00 not $4400.00
The adoption fee is within reason, it all really depends if they needed extra medical attention which would explain the higher cost.
There are a few on YT with morkies, along with other yorkie mixes.
From all the morkies I have seen, they all vary in size and color but are still great dogs.

I've only heard good things about them. Never a bad word. They're really pretty babies, so if the fee is reasonable and you and your household is ready for one, go for it! Be sure to send pics!

Teddy is a maltese/yorkie mix, but holy cow! $4400 :eek: is that a typo? If it is $400 not $4400 I say go for it!! My first dog that my family got when I was 8 was my yorkie Chelsea and she was the best dog ever, but Teddy, my mix, is so easy going, he loves everyone, and is a total love bug. I was torn between maltese and yorkies when I was looking for a new baby, and I have to say I don't regret getting a mix at all - I know there are some strong opinions on mixes, but I think Teddy is great, but I'm probably more than a little biased

$4400? ouch!!! i guess i can not afford one ever

Opps that was a typo, I never even noticed I typed that when I sent it. sorry the price is 400 lol will have picture later today.

The man who's selling her is a collage student and says he just does not have time for her and wants her to have a good home with someone that has time for her. I wanted a female Yorky not now but later on in a few years. and also was looking for a yorky for my mom. but Then I found out about this little girl needing a home so im thinking about it.

i say get her!! you won't regret it!! :D

Im really thinking hard about it. Im waiting on more info on her and more pictures. If for some reason I decide not to get her I will post it here, just incase someone else would like to check her out.

I'm sure she's adorable. Good luck with your decision. I've been searching rescues for a male yorkie and I've seen a lot of morkies. I was wondering if they shed? I can't wait to see pictures.

Neither Maltese nor Yorkies shed, so shedding isn't a problem with the mix either. The only thing with Teddy is he has more of a Maltese coat and it is cottony and can mat easily if it is not combed daily, but I keep him short so that isn't a problem - he is a real fluff ball! His hair makes him look wide from the side haha, but some mixes will take after the yorkie more than the maltese so you just never know!

OMG! As soon as I saw him I thought, he's too cute! Then I saw your username...lol! He's adorable! I love his hair. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks!! I love his hair too - it is insane how big it can get haha, but that is one of the things I love about him

Now do Morkies get bigger than yorkies?? I was just wondering. I have been also looking at rescues for special needs yorkies. I figured Babybear might like someone more like himself(not being able to walk right) and I have seen one or two morkies. Oh don't tell my hubby i have been looking lol he would kill me.

Just like looks, it depends on the dog - I know there are people on here whose mixes are the same size as yorkies, but Teddy is bigger - he is 10 pounds. He is pretty compact, but he is muscular - my grandmom always says he has broad shoulders haha. When I got Teddy at 13 weeks he was 2 pounds 7 ounces and no one thought he would be more than 6 or 7 pounds, but he kept growing! I love his size - he isn't too fragile, but is still small!

That is a good size. Babybear is a porky yorkie at 11 pounds so that would be great for him.lol I think he would enjoy a brother or sister around that size.

Morkies are not necessarily bigger than yorkies. The maltese breed standard calls for between 4 and 6 pounds, but just like yorkie, there are bigger maltese. :)

My yorkie/maltese was 3lbs. The mom was maltese at 5 lbs and dad Yorkie at 3 lbs.

The price sounds good. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

My sister has a morky, he is such a sweet baby, beautiful color and well behaved, he weighs about 14 pds:D cant wait for pics;) oh and she paid 475.00 for him.

I have a Maltese/Yorkie mix and she is the sweetest girl. She loves everyone! Her mother was 4 lbs and the father was 4.5 lbs but my Bitsy will probably be 6 to 8 lbs full grown.

Here is a picture of her at 9 weeks.


I say go for it!

Aww Shes adorable.

Hes cute and looks to be such a sweet heart.

Here is a picture of my Yorky/maltese. she was such a sweet heart. I miss her so much. She needed a good trim in this picture. lol but she was only 3 lbs

Heres her pictures
 

Well I just got a email from the guy with the Morky.
He said her name is Casey heres his email and pictures of her.


My Morkie's name is Casey. I got her as a student at Case, so it just seemed
to fit. I believe she is between 4 and 5 lbs, but she's only 6 months old.
I was told by the breeder that she wouldn't get much bigger, but may fill
out a little. I don't have any other dogs, but she seems to be very
intimidated by larger dogs, and that's really the only time I get to hear
her voice. She does like to chase squirrels, but she's not much bigger than
the ones she chases, so I hope she never catches one. I live on campus, so
I don't get her in the car much and then only for short drives. She does
better when she can see out the window, but really loves to curl up in my
lap when I drive, like I said, she is very cuddly. I've been feeding her
bil-jac kibble, since the breeder gave me about 20 lbs of it, but I've been
mixing it with the Costco puppy kibble Kirklands super premium with chicken,
rice, and veggies. She doesn't eat very much at all, probably goes thru 1/2
cup per day. I feed her in the morning and it usually takes her the rest of
the day to finish, but I'm trying to get her off the bil-jac without making
her sick. She also gets Pup~Peroni lean beef treats, but never more than
1/2 a treat per day. Lets see, she is up to date on her shots as of 8/20/07
and isn't due for another apptment til April. She is not fixed....I'm not
sure how I feel about it and she hasn't given me her permission, so I'm
waiting on that. I think I've hit everything. I can't imagine a more
idyllic home for her than a nice country villa with other dogs to play with.
Even if you don't end up taking her, we might just have to come out and
play :)



From the pictures she looks bigger then 4-5 lbs. but I do love the coloring she has.

She does have very nice colors. I say go for it. Now just to take to hubby right??lol. Good luck in what ever you decide.

Omega on YT has a Morkie, Skyla that she loves. My daughter, Singergrl has Maya, Skyla's sister, and she loves her too. She says she has the best little personality. She trained alot faster than my Tinkerbrat (Yorkiepoo) did!:rolleyes: She's a pretty little girl too.

Morkie size
 

Hey! She is cute! and that's a great size! she shouldn't get over 5 lbs max. I can tell she came from a good breeder. with the Bil Jac food she included. It is pure processed Chicken. It also has cane syrup in it to stop hypoglocymic problems. She is now over the age of 6 months and it is safe to wean her from that. Good luck with your new little Morkie. You have the best of Both Worlds! :aimeeyork I hope she will make you a wonderful companion, and Buddy!!

Well Hubby does not want to get her. He thinks shes cute, But thinks we should wait and see if Our Minnies pregnat and keep one of hers if she is. and I guess hes right. because if she is I know Ill want to keep one. So I guess hes right.
So If anyone else would like to see about getting this girl let me know and Ill give you the guys email.

Thanks, he is sweet. Hopefully someone here will be able to give the baby a good home!

Get her before its too late!
