The Morkie is a very popular hybrid dog breed created by the Yorkshire Terrier and Maltese mix. This hybrid, or mixed breed, is an all around loving pet.
Although variations exist, generally the Morkie takes on the appearance of one breed that it hails from. For example, they can have different appearances in one litter, one puppy may be more maltese-like, while a sibling of the puppy may be more yorkie-like in appearance. Usually the Morkie will have a dark appearance from the Yorkie but where the Yorkie is brown/gold, the Morkie will be brown (from the Yorkie). Morkies can have an array of colouring though however they turn out; they are an attractive pet. Usually, you will know it is a Yorktese or Morkie with the brown fur in its ears and black around him/her and sometimes the morkies can look almost exactly like a maltese with an all white coat but this is very rare.
Height - Morkies will likely be between 6-9 inches tall
Weight - Morkies will typically be about 7 or 8 pounds
