About morkies

The Morkie is a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. Both parent breeds are known for having a lot of personality, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Morkie does as well!

Morkies are inherently happy, loyal and strive to please their owners. They love to play and exercise and are confident around other pets and strangers. As long as they have a lap to sit on, they do equally well in apartments or larger living spaces.

morkie Care

Morkies are energetic but since they are so small, they don't need a lot of exercise. Short walks and daily play are perfect for them.

Morkies are smart and easy to train. Their silky hair should be brushed regularly.

Morkies can experience separation anxiety if left alone for too long. They become closely bonded with their owners.

Morkies can also have a tendency to bark so ensure you teach them to respond to commands such as "quiet" and keep them stimulated and socialized.

morkies FAQ

Morkies can be fairly vocal when they are excited or hear something unfamiliar. This makes them good watchdogs. Socialize your Morkie as a puppy so they feel comfortable. And provide early training so they respond to commands to stop barking.
