Wanted: Female Morkie in CA We've finally decided on getting a Morkie due to their hypoallergenic and less-shed characteristic. And, they're too darn cute! I've been searching for breeders both online and through local newspapers and I've narrowed it down to a few breeders. But, I would love more recommendations, especially from those who currently own a Morkie. Are there any breeders on YT that have Morkie litters? I live in Northern California, so a breeder in California or its neighboring states is mostly preferred. But, any state would be fine, so long shipping is an option for you. Thanks! |
Hi TurtleDove. You may want to check www.petfinder.com and look under Yorkies then Under Maltese. Really a Morkie is just a fancy word for a mixed breed of Yorkie and Maltese. Also, look in your local newspaper, this is where we found our Tia. She was bought then rehomed. Tia is 1/2 Maltese and 1/2 Yorkie. Be aware though that the one you may have seen does not guarantee that "YOUR" little one will look like that. Because they are a mix you really have no guarantee of what he or she will look like full grown. Tia is 4 lbs. and beautiful but I've seen others that are cute but look nothing like her and are much bigger. We got Tia when she was almost a year old so we had a good idea as to what she'd look like and her baby picture looked different then she actually turned out to be as an adult. It's a shame to "Buy" a mix from a breeder when there are so many looking for homes. If you go to www.puppymillrescue.com and read their article on "Designer Dogs" (This is what they call these mixes) I think it will really open your eyes. Best of luck in your search. Elaine |

Yorkies are just as hypoallergenic and do not shed. Same with Maltese...They are also hypoallergenic and do not shed. I have one of each :) Morkies are just a mix of these two breeds. There's no guarantee on how they will look when they grow up. So, if you want a specific look, you might want to get an older one. Petfinder.com is a wonderful place to look. Just recently, one rescue organization had taken in a litter of little morkie pups, so I know they are out there. Young and old :) |
Thanks everyone. I was open to either a Yorkie or a Morkie, either one would have been wonderful for me! But, my boyfriend was the deciding factor, and he wanted the Morkie. Best of both [Maltese & Yorkie] worlds, I suppose! :) |

You will NOT find a reputable breeder that would intentionally breed mutts. You will only find bad breeders and puppymills, or hopefully an accidental litter. Good luck in your search, but I really hope you reconsider and get a healthy, happy, well bred yorkie or maltese puppy, or better yet, consider a "morkie" rescue. :D |

CALIFORNIACUDDLES.COM looks like a puppymill site at first glance, but I think its just a less than quality breeder. She's calling her puppies teacups, breeding for tiny size rather than standard, mixing breeds, and there are no parent pictures to be found. I don't doubt that she's a sweet woman...but wonderful breeder...Hmm. |

Its just my opinion that a good breeder would breed to improve the yorkshire terrier breed according to the standard, rather than trying to shrink yorkies to "teacup" size. I don't think she's a puppymill either. She has a lot of the characteristics of a puppymill, but I think she's just "confused" about breeding. Some people breed for the money, and they don't even realize the damage and injustice they're doing to the breed. :( |

I'm sorry but that was uncalled for. There's no need to interject comments to fuel the fire when they can work it out themselves. |
Can't we try to be nice on here the op was just asking if someone knew of anyone with morkies for sale, I understand that this is always a "HOT" topic but we are here to help not to put "your 2 cents in" if you don't have anything good to say then don't reply...If she stays on YT long enough and reads the threads she will learn all about breeders, but just because she wants something that everyone else doesn't consider acceptable doesn't mean you have to post about it.that is why this thread is called for sale and wanted..I wish you look in your search and hope you find what you are looking for a healthy, loving pup...:) |

But there actually wasn't anything to work out. I made sure that Juicy Girl knew that I never meant any harm to her or her lovely yorkie, in both this thread and an apologetic pm. |

Some people don't know the drawbacks that come along with "designer dogs." I didn't really know when I came here. I was considering a "morkie" too, but I was rudely awakened to the reality of intentionally making mutts. I just didn't want the OP to walk away thinking that we all condone mixing breeds for a profit. The posters before myself tried to hint this, but it wasn't really clear how emphatically most of us feel about mixing breeds. Thats why my first post was self-admittadly blunt... Honestly, I believe I stayed on topic for this thread, I let her know that it is nearly impossible to find a reputable breeder of mutts, but wished her luck in her search nonetheless... |

I am not "Queen of the breeders." I can only hope that someday I will be a quality breeder. I love this breed so much and I want to contribute to it. But I will not be breeding until I am ready to devote all my time, energy and resources to creating the best representations of the breed standard that I can. If I do my job right, these dogs will also be healthy and affectionate, and all around great dogs. It is one of my greatest goals. In the meantime, I'm learning all I can about the breed, and how to breed, and I've learned how to tell the difference between a quality breeder that cares about the breed, and someone who breeds for a profit. |
I read post after post after post on here where other members put down peoples statements or questions. I will admit that my comment was rude. If someone wants a mixed breed, honestly, what harm is it causing you? Putting someone down on a YorkieTalk discussion board will not help the integrity of the breed- why not use your time on something that will? I think Admin should make a rule that if you can't answer the question posed in the thread, or have something positive to say regarding that question, then you shouldn't reply at all. Anna Banana- I am not going to reply to you via PM, I have nothing to hide regarding my actions. |

Anna Bannana Anna Bannana. Don't worry about what you wrote. Anyone that read it should realize that you were just trying to educate on what potentially could be a not so good breeder. I have a Morkie who I adopted out of the newspaper and I LOVE HER. However, if you go to www.puppymillrescue.com and read up on "Designer Dogs" which Morkies are called, it explains how most of these mixed breeds (Because this is what a designer pup is) come from Puppymills and backyard breeders. Many people do not realize this and I personally took your post as your trying to point this out. It's highly unlikely that you will find an experienced well respected breeder cross breeding their Yorkies. And, I don't think you have to die and come back as "Queen of the Yorkie Breeders" to know this. Elaine |
Man alive! Whenever I do get my Morkie, or Snorkie, or Yochon, I will NOT be announcing it here! It's not just this thread, but time and again I see people lambasted here just because they don't want a pure-bred. Cheesh! |
I too was made to feel stupid recently and I must say that in a way I deserved it. I went to the breeder section and asked about selection a breeder (meaning a puppy to breed) (I just had a litter of yorkiepoos born on 7/9 and was considering keeping one for breeding). Though I can see some of the negative sides to mixing breeds. I believe sometimes it is not what you say but how you say it. There is noone on this site or on the face of this earth that has a Yorkie that loves it more than I love my YorkiePoo. She is a beautiful and intelligent dog who has been my best friend and savor over the past 2 years. Anyways I hope you find what YOU are looking for and that your life will be as fulfilled as mine is with my YorkiePoo. |
