Temperament
Morkies’ temperaments are hard to predict as they are mixed breeds. It’s therefore preferable to look into the personalities of their parents.
For example, Yorkshire terriers are feisty, bossy, and love to be the center of attention. They are also very agile and won’t tire barking when they notice something strange happening. This makes them excellent watchdogs.
On the other hand, Maltese are affectionate, lively dogs. They however do not thrive in busy noisy households and are rather impatient with loud children.
Morkies love company both from humans and other pets in the households. They have been known to get along with even cats. However, the downside to this is their predisposition to separation anxiety which can cause them to be destructive around the home when left alone or bark/howl incessantly. This makes them not the choice pet for those with busy work schedules unless one seeks the services of a pet sitter.
They make excellent watchdogs a trait attributed to the Yorkshire terrier. They bark at any strange happening in their surroundings.
Playtime should be supervised especially when with larger breed dogs as they can be easily hurt due to their small size.
All in all, Morkies are your typical lap dog. They love cuddles and some chill time, especially in the evenings. They are also pretty active and enjoy a lot of playtime with their human companions.
