Maltese Yorkie Mix is a cross of Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier, also known as Morkie, or Morkshire Terrier. Morkies are relatively small dogs at about 6 to 8 inches tall, weighing around 4 to 8 pounds, while Teacup Morkies are tinnier. Morkies average lifespan is between 13 to 15 years.
Warning! One look at this fluffy little fellow will have your heart melting and your fingers tapping the keyboard to find one.
We are one of the only breeders that produce the FIRST GENERATION (F1) Morkie breed. This means a purebred Maltese and purebred Yorkie are used to create our morkies.
1. So Adorable, You’ll Want to Snuggle One Up!
Since the Morkie is a crossbreed, you are not guaranteed the exact looks you would if it were a purebred. However, as pointed in the first paragraph the average full-grown Yorkie Maltese mix usually measures in at around 6 to 8 inches at the shoulder and from 4 to 8 pounds. Teacup Morkies, on the other paw, are on the smaller side of that average.
2. They are Happy-Go-Lucky, But a Bit Talkative
Pet parents all agree that the Morkie temperament can be described as happy-go-lucky. It loves to run, play and fetch toys, despite its tiny size. It does like children! This social pup even does well with cats and other small dogs.
3. Exercise or Destruction, You Decide
Even though the Morkie is considered a toy breed it will still need a certain amount of exercise and play each day. It is recommended to take your pup on a brisk walk around the block or for playtime at a park. If you choose a dog park to exercise your Yorkie Maltese, be aware of the other dogs, as a bite or jump on your little guy takes only a moment for a serious injury to occur.
4. There are Plenty of Fun Facts about your Morkie
We’re not finished yet with this adorable hybrid. Here are some fun facts about the Morkie that you will want to know:
5. Morkies Tend to Change Colors!
