Grooming Requirements:
Morkies are not high maintenance but they do require regular grooming. It is beneficial to brush their coats daily to avoid tangles, knots, or matting. If daily brushing isn’t achievable, it is recommended to brush them at least weekly. The area around their eyes should be cleaned and trimmed regularly as Morkies are prone to tear stains. It is also recommended to clip their nails if they grow too long, clean their ears, and brush their teeth regularly. As for bathing, Morkies need a bath every 4 to 6 weeks (not sooner than 4 weeks) to keep their coats clean and shiny.

Exercise Needs:
Morkies are tiny dogs that have low exercise needs. They enjoy cuddles, games of hide-and-seek, and family playtime. A short walk or two every day and some active playtime indoors are enough to keep these precious dogs in shape and happy.
Health:
Morkies are usually healthy as a breed. While some might be prone to inherit certain ailments that are common in their parents, most are generally healthy throughout their lives. Some common Morkie health issues include dental problems, vision problems that are common with old age, ear infections, and allergies. More serious issues include patellar luxation, collapsed trachea, and hypoglycemia.
Lifespan:
The Morkie’s lifespan is between 14 and 18 years. Although longer than most breeds, this lifespan can be increased. Keeping to a diet of age-appropriate high-quality dog food and sticking to a healthy exercise regimen with increase the Morkie’s life expectancy.
Training:
Morkies are fairly easy to train. They are very intelligent and able to pick up on tricks quickly but they are also known to have a stubborn streak. Training them requires patience, positive reinforcement, and extra motivation. They respond well to a calm voice, fun methods, and yummy treats. Keeping training sessions short and combining them with fun games, will work best when training a Morkie puppy.
Morkies are social dogs by nature, just like their parent breeds. Their Maltese genes will have them welcoming new faces and making fast buddies with other dogs. It is always best to introduce them gradually to strangers and other pets when they are puppies to help them overcome any shyness later on.
Morkies are family-attached dogs. They love being near their owners at all times and that might pose some issues when they are left alone for extended periods. To avoid separation anxiety in Morkies, it is recommended to leave them alone for a few minutes at a time each day when they are puppies. This will help avoid any destructive behavior in the future and allow them to adjust to some alone time and become more independent.
