Maltese Yorkie Mix - Morkie

AKA: Yorktese, Malkie, Yorkshire Terrier - Maltese Hybrid

Do you have a Maltese Yorkie mix? Tell us more about his/her personality & your dog could be famous!

The Maltese Yorkie mix, also called a Morkie, Malkie, or Yorktese is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese.

These hybrid dogs are recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club as the Malkie and can be registered on their website. They are one of the most popular Maltese mixes because of their affectionate personality and beautiful coloring.

These dogs take on the temperanment of both Yorkies and Maltese. They are bold, energetic little dogs. Morkies are also highly intelligent and easy to train, but can be difficult to housebreak. They are sometimes suspsious of strangers and can serve as a good watchdog.

This dog does best with older children as younger children under the age of 10 years old can accidently injure this tiny dog. Most people find them to have the mellowness of a Maltese and the tenacity of a terrier. Read what actual Maltese Yorkie mix owners say about their dogs personalities.

Appearance

A Yorkie Maltese mix can create various mixtures of hair color, hair type, and size. Most Morkies hair will include some brown and black from the Yorkie and maybe a little white from the Maltese.

Yorkie Maltese Mix Maltese Yorkie Mix Morkie

Hair is usually wavy and grows continuously like human hair. Therefore, they need consistant grooming by either brushing regularly or keeping a short puppy cut. They are also nonshedding and most are hypoallergenic. Full grown Morkies average 6-9 lbs. This is about the same size as a purebred Maltese. View Morkie pictures submitted by visitors.
