Looking For Morkie Breeders...
Hey. I am new to this site. My boyfriend and I are looking for Morkie breeders. We are located near Ottawa, so a deeler near there would be preferable. I would be willing to drive to Toronto, or London, etc, to find a good breeder. Please email me back if you have any information on Morkie breeders. Thanks

Welcome abourd Amy.
Just some info for you.A Morkie is just a "designer" breed...These usually come from puppy mills or BYB's.What I mean by BYB(backyard breeder)is they only do it for the money.They charge an arm and a leg.They can go for as much as $600-$800 if not more.These are just mixed breeds...Mutts. Have you tried looking at some shelters or rescues?

What the heck is a Morkie? That's a new one on me....what will they come up with next.
Hi Amy! What Mona said. This trend towards picking two breeds, giving them a cute name, then overcharging like crazy is a really awful trend, and very sad because so many equally cute deserving dogs get killed every day in shelters because nobody wants them. Many of these very same cute mixes can be found in shelters, rescues, on Petfinder, etc. Here's a link to Petfinder so you can search in your area: http://www.petfinder.org/ Also...a thought. There must be a Yorkie rescue (search the net) you can contact. They may have some great info for you, may even know of whatever this particular mix is. Good luck and please don't give any money to someone breeding designer breeds!

i thought I heard everything.....Morkie... .
just to let you know if you do proceed and get a "morkie". you may end up with many health issues with this dog, as people who breed them are usually not reputable, so therefore vet care is not given, so you may end up with a very sick puppie. Yeah they may guarantee it's health, which means you can return the puppy if it's sick for a new puppy. (usually you have already bonded with this pup, so could you really give it back to be euthanized, and get a new one ??) They will not cover any vet bills if you choose to keep a sick pup. Go for the purebred or rescue pup.

I am sure there is one of these designer mutts available on petfinder or in one of the rescues there is a really cute tibetan terrier mix at Etobicoke Humane that needs a home and will cost you a fraction of what a byb or puppymill or pet store will charge you for a probably sick dog. So many of these poor pups die of parvo and don't think the place you get them from will actually care because they already have your money they could careless about you and the pup now.

"Morkie" - had a show in the 70's with a girl named Mindy, didn't he??
Seriously, the Morkie and it's counterpart, the Yorktese, as well as the Yorkie-Poo, Malti-Poo, Cocka-Poo, Labra-doodle, Bi-Chi, etc... - these are just excuses for people to charge rediculous amounts of money for what essentially amounts to a mutt. If you want a mixed breed dog, save a life and save yourself lots of money and adopt one from a rescue/shelter. There are 107 small dogs available in Ontario on www.Petfinder.com alone (there are many, many more med-large sized dogs, and the number of cats out there is astronomical!). Try also the www.ospca.on.ca website. If you're willing to drive all the way to TO, I'm sure one of the many branches has the perfect pup for you. FYI, this is where the majority of these "designer breeds" will come from: http://www.nopuppymillscanada.ca/ :sad: |

I'm not surprised that the OP has not returned. More often than not, the people that post these "1" post questions never return, and are just trying to stir the pot.
It looks like Amy did a good job. Look at us attacking each other. We all love our animals, and wish them only the best. The educated ones are the ones who return, even when they see replies they may not like. If we can educate one person to what designer dogs are, and the reasons for not seeking them out when there are so many homeless dogs/cats in shelters, then we've had a good day and can sleep well. I think we can call this thread finished. Do I hear an "Amen" to that?
