Yes, Morkies are affectionate, lively, and playful companions. They are loyal and social dogs that bond strongly with their owners and adapt well to families and individuals. However, they can be prone to stubbornness, excessive barking, and separation anxiety, so consistent training and socialisation are essential to manage these behaviours effectively.
Morkies typically live between 10 to 14 years, with many reaching around 14.5 years and some even living up to 17 or 18 years. Their small size contributes to this relatively long lifespan compared to larger dog breeds.
The cost of a Morkie generally ranges from approximately £450 to £1,600, depending on factors such as breeder reputation, location, and pedigree. Since they are designer dogs, the price can vary significantly, so it is important to buy from reputable breeders who prioritise health and ethical practices.
Morkies usually stay small, weighing between 4 to 12 pounds (about 2 to 5.5 kg) and standing roughly 6 to 10 inches tall. Their compact size makes them ideal for apartment living and as lap dogs.
