Morkie

Morkie refers to the Morkie, a designer hybrid dog breed that is a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. The name is a portmanteau of the two parent breeds. Like Yorkie and Poodle, Morkie is sometimes used as an actual given name for pets of this particular breed, combining affection for the breed's identity with the playful naming tradition of small dog owners.

Naming a pet Morkie is a celebration of the breed in the most affectionate possible way — it's a name that says, your mixed heritage is not just accepted, it's the whole point. Morkies are known for their enormous personalities packed into tiny, silky-coated frames, and a companion named Morkie tends to live up to that legacy with great enthusiasm. Expect a bold, loving pet with strong opinions about lap time and a talent for being completely irresistible.
