​

• The Morkie is a mixed breed dog–a cross between the Maltese and the Yorkshire Terrier dog breeds. Small, energetic, and super silly, these pups inherited some of the best qualities from both their parents.

• This crossbreed is usually referred to as the Morkie, but it is sometimes called the Morkshire Terrier.

• Both of the Morkie's parent breeds don't shed much, and the Morkie inherited this trait.

• Your main concern when it comes to your Morkie's care will be minding how fragile they can be. Yes, they are playful, energetic dogs, but they need to be cared for gently. Use a harness instead of a collar when walking them to prevent trachea collapse, and be sure that others are handling your Morkie with care.
