Frequently Asked Questions

Are Morkies hypoallergenic?

Yes, Morkies are often considered hypoallergenic because they have a non-shedding coat, which reduces the amount of dander in the air. However, no dog is completely hypoallergenic, and individual sensitivities can vary.

How often should I groom my Morkie?

Morkies need regular grooming due to their long, silky coat. Ideally, they should be brushed 2-3 times a week to prevent tangling and matting. Bathing every 3-4 weeks and ear cleaning once a week are also necessary.

Are Morkies easy to train?

Morkies are intelligent and can learn quickly, but they can also be a bit stubborn or independent. Consistent, positive reinforcement training methods work best for them. Early socialization and basic obedience training are important.
