Breed Guide

What Is a Morkie, Exactly?

A Morkie is a hybrid breed — a cross between a purebred Maltese and a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. The name is a blend of both: Maltese + Yorkie = Morkie.

What you get is the Maltese's calm devotion and cloud-soft coat combined with the Yorkie's spark, curiosity, and boldness. Neither breed dominates — the best Morkies carry the finest qualities of both parents in one compact, low-shedding, endlessly affectionate package.

Maltese Gentle · Devoted · Soft
Yorkshire Terrier Bold · Spirited · Curious

Why Austin Families Love Morkie Puppies

Morkie puppy available for sale near Austin Texas

Austin is a city built around personality — and Morkies have it in abundance. They're small enough to live comfortably anywhere, from a high-rise near downtown to a quiet neighborhood in Cedar Park or Georgetown. They don't need a large yard or hours of vigorous exercise. What they need is you.

Morkie puppies in Austin have become one of our most requested breeds — and it makes sense. They're a hybrid that genuinely delivers on both sides of its lineage. You get the Maltese's warmth and the Yorkie's spirit, wrapped up in a 4–7 pound package with a coat that sheds almost nothing. For Austin families dealing with allergies, limited space, or just a preference for dogs that stay small, the Morkie checks every box.

They're also remarkably adaptable. A Morkie that lives with a retired couple in Leander is just as happy as one living with a young professional in East Austin. They read their environment and match it. That flexibility is part of what makes them so consistently well-loved.

Deeply Affectionate Bonds hard and stays loyal — Morkies choose their people and mean it
Perfect for Small Spaces Apartment, condo, or house — they adapt to wherever you are
Low Shedding Coat Hypoallergenic-friendly — their coat is silky, not fur
Big Personality The Yorkie side ensures they're never a wallflower — curious and confident
Smart and Trainable Responds well to positive reinforcement — quick to learn routines
Family Compatible Wonderful for couples, individuals, and families with older kids

Our Morkie Puppies — Raised at Home in Jonestown, TX

Morkie puppy home raised in Jonestown Texas near Austin

Every Morkie puppy at Prettiest Puppies is born and raised inside our home. Not a commercial facility. Not an outdoor setup. Our home in Jonestown, Texas — about 25 minutes northwest of downtown Austin — is where our puppies spend their earliest weeks. They're handled from birth, socialized with people and household sounds, and they arrive at their new homes having already learned how to be comfortable with humans.

"The difference between a home-raised puppy and one raised in a facility isn't subtle. You feel it the moment you hold them. They're calm because they've never had a reason to be anything else."

We work with a small number of families at a time — intentionally. We'd rather do fewer placements right than more placements fast. Every family we work with goes through a brief qualification process. It's not an interrogation — it's just us making sure the match is genuinely good for the puppy and for you. We've been doing this since 2012, and that process is a big part of why our families come back.

Teacup Morkies — Austin's Most Requested Tiny Puppy

If you've heard about teacup Morkie puppies, you already know why people love them. Teacup Morkies are expected to mature under 4 pounds — some closer to 2 or 3 — and they are, simply put, extraordinary. Imagine everything that makes a Morkie great, compressed into a form that fits in your hands.

They're not for every household. Teacup-sized puppies require more careful handling, a calmer environment, and an owner who's present and attentive. But for the right person — someone who wants the ultimate companion animal, someone who lives alone or in a quiet home, someone for whom size is genuinely important — a teacup Morkie is unlike any other experience in small breed ownership. We have teacup Morkies available periodically. Call us to ask about current litters.

Where We Serve — All of Central Texas

We're in Jonestown, which puts us in easy reach of virtually the entire Austin metro. Families come to us from Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos. Pickup is always at our home — we don't ship puppies. Every family visits us in person, which is how it should be.

Morkie Puppies in Austin — Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Morkie?

A Morkie is a hybrid dog breed — a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. The name comes from combining both breeds: Maltese + Yorkie. Morkies inherit traits from both parents, typically combining the Maltese's gentle, devoted temperament with the Yorkie's bold, curious personality. They're small (usually 4–7 lbs), low-shedding, and deeply affectionate.

How much do Morkie puppies cost in Austin, Texas?

Morkie puppies in Austin typically range from $1,500 to $4,000+ depending on size, generation, and whether the puppy is a standard or teacup Morkie. Teacup Morkies command higher pricing due to their rarity and demand. Contact Prettiest Puppies at (512) 694-1137 for current pricing and availability.

Are Morkies good for people with allergies?

Yes — Morkies are considered a hypoallergenic-friendly breed. Both the Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier have coats made of hair rather than traditional fur, which means significantly less shedding and dander. While no dog is 100% allergen-free, Morkies are consistently recommended for people with mild to moderate pet allergies, and many allergy sufferers do extremely well with them.

Should I get a Morkie or a purebred Maltese or Yorkie?

It depends on temperament preference. A Maltese is calmer and more serene — the ultimate lap dog. A Yorkie is bolder and more energetic — great for active owners. A Morkie sits between them — affectionate like the Maltese, spirited like the Yorkie. If you want a well-rounded companion that adapts to most lifestyles, a Morkie is often the most versatile choice. We're happy to talk through the right fit for your household.
