My sister just got a "Morkie" (I think that is what it is called), a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. I wish she had called me first before she got the puppy, I might have steered her in a different direction. I told her she better find a groomer soon, as this breed could potentially have a very difficult coat to work with. Thanks.
