Morkie

Poodle (Miniature)

Overview:

The Morkie Poo (Miniature) blends a Morkie (Maltese × Yorkshire Terrier) with a Miniature Poodle, originating from the designer dog trend for small, affectionate companions. Typically small (around 6–12 lbs), they feature a soft, low-shedding coat that can be wavy or curly in various colors. Their temperament is cheerful, affectionate, and intelligent, with moderate energy and good trainability, making them well-suited to families, first-time owners, and apartment living. They thrive on human companionship and benefit from early socialization to curb barking or shyness. Expect moderate-to-high grooming needs and watch for small-breed health considerations like dental care and patellar luxation; responsible breeding and regular veterinary checkups help maintain well-being. With attentive care, their life expectancy commonly ranges into the mid-teens, offering a long, loving partnership.
