wanted... a morkie I live in the dfw, tx area and would like a morkie. The parents need to be all maltese or all yorkie. Both parents need to be perferably 4-6 pounds. I would like them to be registererd. The puppies need to be born and raised in the house with the family. my name is marlene brookman and i'm serious about my purchase. I will consider up to a 2hour radius of dallas, tx. my email is mbroo1127@aol.com. Thanks much!!! |
Why bother with the parents being registered? No reputable agency will register mixed breeds. For that matter, no reputable breeder purposely crosses breeds. |

They're based in forney and have yorkies, chihuahuas, morkies and even the ever popular and nonexistent teacup yorkie!!! |
morkie while i understand i cannot register the morkie, i would like to know that i have a pure bred mother and father. I had a champion line maltese and the person i got it from was the best. my dog never had the pink eye stains. he had congestive heart failure and eventually he passed. I would rather not have a maltese again, as i'm wanting the yorkie colors, but i would like to have a cross breed. marlene p.s. i've looked at txteacups, and wasn't sure on the website. I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to help me lead me to a good breeder/or person who have morkies. |
Morkie. I don't personally know of any Morkie breeders off the top of my head, as I was after a Biewer myself! I did see a Biewer breeder who had a Morkie, and I pm'd you the link. I will let you do the research, as you seem to have some pretty high expectations (no offense). That's all the help I could provide, but I wish you luck! If a Morkie is what you want, I sincerely hope that you find one that you love. In the end, that's all that matters when you find a dog to adopt. :aimeeyork |
Texasteacups.com? EEK. Free and low cost puppies, Many different breeds, best petstore in town. I'd read more about this place before reccomending it to anyone. Doesn't seem like a very good place to send newbies or anyone for that matter. :mad: |

Besides the fact that ANYONE who purposely breeds mixed breed dogs is questionable at best. |

I hate that sarcasm doesn't come through on message board posts...... I was being sarcastic about them, that's why I commented about the "ever popular and nonexistent teacup yorkie". |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk, hope you find the baby you are looking for. |

There seems to be some who are quite unkind about cross breeds. I hate to tell you but every purebred dog there is came from a cross breed of some sort. I believe there are some on YT that own Morkies and Shorkies as well as other cross breeds. Not everyone can buy from a person who breeds show dogs. That does not exclude them from being good owners. It's unfortunate that those who don't accept that Morkies are quite popular can't just say nothing. |

That being said, I never said I looked down upon or bashed anyone having a mixed breed dog, and notice I never called them mutts, as many other people do. If you want a morkie or any other mixed breed dog, adopt one, don't purchase one. Purchasing one from a breeder who breeds them, you are just supporting them exploiting their animals for money. |
The pure breeds of today came from careful cross breeding to encourage particular traits. The cross breeders of today are doing it to fulfill a pet market and cash in on the "designer pet" craze. PS- I've got a mixed breed. Scarlett is Yorkie and something else (most likely Maltese). I love her to pieces, but I would have never given money to a backyard breeder for her. |
Agreed. Quote:
I agree. I read they think Shih Tzus came from Lhasa Apsos crossed with ... maybe Japanese Chins? Either way, there are a lot of dogs that aren't purebred that are adorable and lovable. Pure bloodlines shouldn't be your only deciding factor. If you want a mutt, go for it! Mutts need homes too. If it turned out Nilla had some imperfection in her bloodlines, I wouldn't care because I love her just as she is! |

To the above quoted posts, I want to add: If nothing can be guaranteed when breeding two purebred dogs (no guarantees in size, color, etc. all is a guesstimate based on lots of research) what guarantee will you have when mixing two different breeds? In other words, a person should be very leery when a breeder promises the sky, the moon and the stars. |
This woman asked an honest question and was given unkind and insincere answers. Give HER your speech on backyard breeders! Don't suggest an online breeder even in joking! That is just rude! Morkies are adorable and I can understand why she wants one. Maybe she doesn't know what you know about them. Don't make fun of her request! A kind and intelligent answer that includes the addresses of some rescue agencies might be more appropriate if that is what you believe! I have seen some rude behavior here but this is just going too far. Why would that person ever come back to find out anything from you?! |

I'm not arguing with you the fact that morkies are adorable, no one said that, and you imply some of us look down at them just bc they are mixed breed dogs. That is not the truth. |
I appreciate everyone's response. The reasons for wanting maltese and yorkies, (pure bred) is because i want the best of the two. I understand that because the each puppy... dog has it's own personality of it's own, i want to make sure if they are maltese/yorkie, i'm getting a puppy with hypo allergenic hair, the size will be pretty much small, family raised-not just a puppy stuck in a cage. Yes I have high expectations, and if I was getting a "pure bred" I would have just as high expectations too. As far as paying for a "morkie" I don't have a problem, granted it's not a pure bred, but I would pay for a pure bred too, as I did when I owned a maltese. I did find a morkie from a breeder who takes care of her puppies.. dogs as if they were her children, they have had their shots, has been so gracious in talking to me, reassuring me as if she was my best friend. Those are the people I want to get my puppy from. Thanks again for all your input. |
How will she treat you after she gets your money? All greeders are your best friend until before you pay them. Seriously, you need to understand, ANY breeder who PURPOSELY breeds cross breeds, mixed breeds, mutts, whatever you call them are just doing it for the money. PERIOD Many times when you cross two breeds you get the worst of both, not the best. The only way you will know you are getting what you want is to adopt an adult. Seriously, I"m not trying to be a jerk, I'm trying to save you from heartache. |
I apologize for suggesting the website to the OP. It was done in poor taste and should not have been suggested. It was merely done to show that people will say and do anything to make money- including advertise registered cross breeds, teacups, and anything else the public wants to hear. I figured the 17,000 price tag on a few of their "designer pups" would scare most people away anyway. |
I got Calvin and Bella from the same breeder. Yes they are morkies. Yes they are adorable. Yes we did have an issue with Calvin having a liver shunt but that can be in either of the full breeds. My breeder did the right thing and paid for half of his surgery. I have also found out that she doesnt breed morkies anymore. I wanted a mixed breed and that is why I went with the morkie. Its true that with mixed breeds their look cannot be guaranteed. We just happened to luck out in that department. |

I'm failing to see where anyone suggested she wouldn't be a good owner. But I fully stand behind the statements that anyone who purposely cross breeds is NOT a good breeder. |
I've seen some adorable Morkies! So cute and sweet. But I've also seen some that must not have 'mixed' so well. One was the size of a maltese, with the long hair, but purely orange in color. So I think the suggestion to look at adopting an adult is a good one ~ you would know exactly what you are getting - no surprises in terms of appearance. I've only seen one shorkie - my girlfriend had one - he wasn't very cute. No offense to anyone! He just wasn't. But he was an 'oopsie' breeding - no planning there. Good luck in your search. No one here is a Morkie or Shorkie hater. There are lots of Morkie owners on the board. But it will be hard to find someone to recommend a breeder that is mixing the breeds; as most reputable breeders will not. This is Yorkietalk; the good breeders are passionate about their yorkies. It's like going to the Toyota plant and trying to find a Ford. Can be hard to do. (And I'm a Ford person myself) |
my morkie Hello everyone! While I read all of your posts, some interesting, some informative, I'm happy to say I found my morkie. Yes, he's not a pure breed, and yes he can't participate in shows, or be bred, but he's my puppy and I'm happy. I didn't want an adult, I want to raise my puppy in my environment to make sure I know who he really is and who he can become. His looks are like a yorkie, with a maltese shape face and fur. Yes he will change, we as children grow up to be adults change also. We have blonde hair at birth, but it might turn to brown and then grey. And yes, our personalities change also. I wouldn't expect anything less in my puppy. Everyone has their own feelings on every subject, and I can respect that, all I ask is to respect my feelings on what I want to own and have. I hope everyone the best. I will be a good mom to my morkie ..."Cowboy Trouble." He will be raised in a loving and family environment, and that's all I've wanted. Good luck to everyone and thanks again. Marlene |
