This dog is a designer or hybrid and comes from breeding a full blood Teacup Maltese and a full blood Teacup Yorkie together. The Maltese Yorkie can also come from breeding 2nd, 3rd and so on generations of Maltese Yorkie breeds together.
A common name for this mixed breed is the Morkie or Yorktese. It has become one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States and Canada. Europe is catching on also. The bottom line for why this designer dog is becoming so popular is it’s size and personality.
This breed comes in a variety of sizes. Such as Standard, Tiny Toy and Teacup. These are simply words to describe the size of this breed and are not intended to be considered as different versions of the breed.
The teacup Maltese Yorkie comes in several different colors. Black and Gold, Golden, Gold and White, Black and White, Black, White and several variations on each. Many of them will have a lighter coat as they reach adulthood like the Yorkie, including the color of silver.
This breed in non-shedding and hypoallergenic like the Yorkie and Maltese full blood breeds. You have the choice of either letting the hair grown long with lots of brushing required or you can give your dog a puppy cut or Yorkie hair cut so you won’t have as much trouble with tangles.
Overall I highly suggest you look into this breed if your thinking about getting a teacup size dog.We specialize in the Teacup and Tiny Toy Morkies.
