Morkiepoo
Toy · 4–10 lbs
Morkie (Maltese × Yorkie)
Bold · low-shed · affectionate
Poodle (Toy)
Intelligent · low-shed · playful
The Morkiepoo is a triple-cross toy dog combining the Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, and Toy Poodle — three breeds with long histories as human companions that share naturally low-shedding coats. Developed in the United States in the 2000s as breeders sought to combine the gentle affection of the Maltese, the feisty personality of the Yorkie, and the reliable low-shed coat of the Poodle into one tiny package.
The Morkiepoo combines three low-shedding breeds (Maltese, Yorkie, and Poodle) into one of the most reliably low-shed toy mixes available, with shedding consistently at 5–18/100. Lively and affectionate (74–90/100 friendliness), this tiny companion suits apartments, allergy-sensitive owners, and adults — though it is fragile and not recommended for households with young children.

Common questions answered before you buy
A Morkiepoo is a cross between a Morkie (Maltese × Yorkie) (Bold · low-shed · affectionate) and a Poodle (Toy) (Intelligent · low-shed · playful). The goal of this cross is to combine the best traits of both parents — but it's important to understand that results vary significantly from puppy to puppy, even within the same litter.
No dog is truly hypoallergenic — all dogs produce dander, saliva, and urine proteins that trigger allergies. However, the Morkiepoo is a low-shedding breed that produces less loose hair and dander than most dogs. People with mild dog allergies often tolerate them well. If allergies are a concern, spend time with the specific puppy before committing — individual reactions vary.
Morkiepoos typically weigh between 4–10 lbs. However, size can vary significantly depending on which parent the puppy takes after and the generation (F1, F1B, etc.). A smaller parent — particularly if one parent is a Miniature or Toy variant — will produce smaller offspring. Always ask breeders about the parent sizes, not just the breed average.
With consistent effort, yes. The Morkiepoo has trainability scores ranging from 68–84/100. Some puppies will pick things up quickly; others — especially those inheriting more stubbornness from one parent — will need more patience. Positive reinforcement and short, engaging training sessions work best.
The Morkiepoo typically lives 12–15 years. Hybrid dogs often benefit from "hybrid vigour" — a tendency for mixed breeds to be healthier than either purebred parent. However, they can still inherit health conditions from either parent line. Ask breeders about health testing on both parents (hips, eyes, heart, depending on the parent breeds), and schedule annual vet check-ups throughout your dog's life.
Yes — the Morkiepoo is generally apartment-adaptable as long as their exercise needs are met. Daily walks and interactive play sessions (around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily) are sufficient to keep them calm indoors. Mental stimulation — puzzle toys, training sessions — is equally important for this intelligent cross.
