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.
