Morkie Puppy - Riley

(Conshohocken PA)

Our Morkie puppy Riley is a very energetic little girl. She has been almost impossible to housebreak but we are working hard at it. She goes to puppy training classes and is very smart.

At the dog park Riley is "Little Miss Popular" both with people and other dogs. Everyone wants to pet her and she gets lots of compliments on how cute and tiny she is. But for as small as she is (2.5 pounds) she is very resilient and doesn't act at all like her size. She runs and plays with dogs bigger then she is and can really 'hold her own.'

She was totally black when I got her but is changing. Her head is becoming more brown, she has a white belly, tan and black paws with a little white, and a white undercoat under her black body. I've been keeping her hair short since its summer time and she is getting more used to baths.

Riley is very loyal. She is always at my feet and even when I take her outside to run around she never goes too far away from me. She isn't a very good watch dog. She's rather jump on and kiss everyone who walks through the door. She is especially good with kids. Overall she is a joy and I'd recommend this breed to anyone.
