[edit] About
The Morkie (also Yorktese or Malkie) is a designer dog (not mixed-breed) that is a combination of the Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier breeds.
[edit] Appearance
Although variations exist, generally the Morkie takes on the appearance of both breeds that it hails from. Usually the Morkie will have a dark appearance from the Yorkie but where the Yorkie is brown/gold, the Morkie will be white (from the Maltese).
[edit] Camaraderie
Morkies make excellent companions. They tend to get along quite well with children and other animals. Although variations can exist from dog to dog (as with any other dog), the Morkie combines the good health of the Maltese with the ease of use and colorings of the Yorkie. Usually, you will know it is a Yorktese or Morkie with the brown fur in its ears and black around him/her.
