Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Morkie? The Morkie is a hybrid breed created by crossing a Yorkshire Terrier with a Maltese. Known for their affectionate and playful nature, Morkies thrive as companion dogs. They combine the Yorkshire Terrier’s spunky personality with the Maltese’s loving and loyal temperament, making them perfect for families or individuals seeking a small, energetic pet.
How big do Morkies get? Morkies grow to 6 to 10 inches tall and weigh between 5 and 8 pounds. Their size depends on their genetic mix, with smaller Morkies reflecting the Yorkshire Terrier’s petite frame and slightly larger ones taking after their Maltese parent. Despite their tiny stature, they have a sturdy build and plenty of energy, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor play.
Are Morkies hypoallergenic? Morkies are not completely hypoallergenic but shed very little compared to many other breeds. Their silky coat, which combines traits from both parent breeds, reduces the spread of allergens. Regular brushing keeps their coat smooth and clean while minimizing shedding further. Allergy-conscious owners often find Morkies a manageable choice because of their minimal shedding and easy grooming needs.
How long do Morkies live? Morkies live 12 to 15 years. They maintain their health and vitality with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent veterinary care. Their affectionate and loyal personality ensures they remain a constant source of companionship and joy throughout their lives.
Are Morkies good with children? Morkies interact well with children, especially in families that teach kids to handle small dogs gently. Their playful energy and affectionate nature make them great companions for older children. While they enjoy interactive games and bonding moments, their small size requires supervision during play to prevent accidental injury. Families appreciate their loyalty and ability to bring joy to the home.
Are Morkie puppies easy to train? Morkie puppies respond well to training when approached with consistency and patience. They inherit determination and intelligence from both parent breeds, which helps them learn commands quickly. Positive reinforcement, such as praise or treats, keeps them motivated. Early socialization and training help them adapt to different environments and develop good behavior as they grow.
Do Morkies shed? Morkies shed minimally, making them an excellent choice for owners looking for a low-shedding breed. Their silky, fine coat requires weekly brushing to prevent tangles and maintain its softness. Professional grooming every few months keeps their coat healthy and neat, ensuring they remain easy to care for.
How much do Morkies weigh? Morkies weigh between 5 and 8 pounds as adults. Their lightweight frame makes them portable and easy to handle, whether at home or during travel. Their manageable size and energy levels make them versatile companions, perfect for apartments or smaller homes while still enjoying outdoor adventures.
Morkie Breed Info
The Morkie, a cross between the Maltese and the Yorkshire Terrier, is a small dog with a big personality. Cheerful, clever, and full of energy, this tiny hybrid has captured hearts with its affectionate nature and expressive, teddy bear-like appearance. Sometimes called the Morkshire Terrier, the breed is known for being loving, lively, and full of charm.
Most Morkies weigh between 4 and 8 pounds and stand just 6 to 8 inches tall, making them a perfect match for city dwellers, apartment living, or anyone looking for a companion that’s easy to carry but never short on personality. Despite their size, Morkies are bold and spirited—true to their terrier roots—and they carry themselves with a surprising amount of confidence.
What really draws people in is the bond these dogs form with their families. Morkies are often described as “velcro dogs”—they want to be where you are, whether that’s snuggled on the couch, shadowing you through the house, or riding along on errands. They’re incredibly people-focused and tend to form deep attachments, especially to a primary caregiver.
The coat is soft and silky, often a mix of colors including tan, black, white, or cream. It doesn’t shed much, which makes the Morkie dog breed a potential fit for allergy-sensitive households, though their hair does need regular grooming to keep it healthy and tangle-free.
In personality, the Morkie brings together the best of both parent breeds: the sweetness and gentleness of the Maltese, and the boldness and curiosity of the Yorkie. The result is a dog that’s both cuddly and feisty—just as happy being carried in your arms as they are trotting beside you on a leash.
While small, this breed thrives in active households where they’re treated as part of the family. They need attention, structure, and stimulation to feel secure, but what they give in return is unwavering loyalty and a lively spirit that lights up any room.
For anyone searching for a compact companion with a huge heart, the Morkie is a breed that brings joy in a small, fluffy package.
