History: The Morkie Poo, or Morkie Doodle, is a mixed breed dog that is the offspring of the Maltese, the Yorkshire Terrier, and the Poodle. No one knows for sure when the first Morkie Poo appeared, but it’s likely that they were developed during the 1990s in the United States. These dogs are most often created by crossing a Morkie (Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier hybrid) with a Poodle, though other combinations are also possible.

Temperament: Morkie Poos are affectionate, lively dogs who are known to form close bonds with their owners. These little dogs love to have their humans’ undivided attention, so they may not like sharing it with other animals in the house. Like their Yorkie parents, Morkie Poos have a tendency to be a bit stubborn and distant around strangers, and they are highly protective of their family members. Due to their high demands for attention, Morkie Poos are prone to separation anxiety and do not tolerate being alone for extended periods of time. They may become destructive or bark excessively when left by themselves, so it’s best that you leave someone at home to keep them company if you're going out.
