By combining both the Yorkshire terrier and Maltese Terrier breeds, you'll end up with a Yorktese! The Yorktese is also known by many other names, such as the Malkie, the Maltiyork, the Morkie, or the Yorkiemalt. Regardless of which nickname you choose to call your Yorktese, one thing is certain: you'll be calling it your best furry friend in no time!
The Yorktese is well-known for being an excellent companion dog thanks to its affectionate and loyal demeanor. Its small size also makes it an excellent lap-dog. Both male and female Yorktese dogs will grow to roughly 8 to 10 inches and weigh 4 to 7 pounds when fully grown. Their long coats require a high level of maintenance. Special care should be taken to prevent the fur of your Yorktese from getting matted or tangled.
