About Havamorkie Dogs

What is a Havamorkie Dog?

The Havamorkie is a sweet, gentle, and playful little dog with a loving nature that makes them easy to adore. A rare and unique three‑breed mix of Havanese, Maltese, and Yorkshire Terrier, they’re known for being affectionate, curious, and social. We are currently the only breeders offering this special combination, making every Havamorkie truly one of a kind. 

Their coats are soft, silky, and plush, with charming variety in colors and patterns. Ears may stand upright, flop down, or do a mix of both, giving each puppy its own personality and appeal. Their small size makes them easy to carry and manage, while their cheerful expressions and playful energy make them irresistible. 

Beyond their looks, Havamorkies are friendly, alert, and devoted companions. They love being held, enjoy interactive play, and bring joy wherever they go. With their rare heritage, big hearts, and delightful personalities, Havamorkie dogs make wonderful companions for anyone seeking a loving little dog that’s truly one of a kind.  

Havamorkie Temperament

Havamorkies are affectionate, cheerful little dogs who love being close to their families. They’re devoted companions who delight in snuggling, following their people around the house, and joining in on everyday activities. Their gentle nature makes them easy to live with, while their playful spark keeps life lively and fun. 

This mix brings together the Havanese’s warm, social personality, the Maltese’s tender devotion, and the Yorkie’s curious energy. The result is a dog who thrives on interaction, adapts well to different routines, and has a knack for making themselves the center of attention in the sweetest way. 

Because they bond so closely, Havamorkies don’t do well when left alone for long periods. With early socialization and gentle guidance, they grow into confident little dogs who are alert, loving, and eager to please. Their combination of charm and loyalty makes them treasured companions in any household. 

What Is a Teacup Havamorkie?

“Teacup” is a term used for Havamorkie dogs expected to stay under 6 pounds once fully grown. These tiny pups often have finer bone structure and a smaller frame, yet they’re still full of personality—loving, playful, and happiest when close to their people. 

Because of their size, Teacup Havamorkie dogs need extra care. They aren’t the best fit for homes with very young children or large dogs, since it’s easy for them to get hurt even by accident. 

They do best in calmer households where their size is respected and their safety is a priority. In the right environment, Teacup Havamorkies make devoted little companions who give just as much love as the bigger ones. 

Do Havamorkie Dogs Bark a Lot?

Havamorkies can be vocal, but they’re not the type to bark just for no reason. Some will “talk” to you almost like they’re carrying on a conversation—whether it’s asking for attention, showing excitement, or chiming in with their own opinion. They’ve got big personalities and aren’t shy about making themselves heard, but they’re not the kind to bark at every little sound or passerby. 

With good socialization and a calm environment, Havamorkie dogs are more curious than reactive. They’re less likely to bark at strangers, other dogs, or everyday noises when they feel secure. Their voice ends up being more of a quirky charm than a nuisance, adding to the playful character that makes them such entertaining companions. 

Are Havamorkie Dogs Good With Kids & Other Animals?

Havamorkie dogs are typically friendly, social little dogs who get along well with most people and pets—including other small dogs, cats, and older children. They’re affectionate and playful, and they love being part of family life. Their bright personalities make them easy to bond with, and they enjoy both quiet cuddle time and lively play. 

They can also do well with young children and bigger dogs, but their small size means they’re more delicate. Even an accidental bump or step can cause injury, so care is important. For households with small kids or large dogs, choosing a Havamorkie on the larger end of the size range is a smart choice. 

Clear boundaries and close supervision are essential, especially while the puppy is young. With the right environment and consistent guidance, a Havamorkie can grow into a wonderful companion and a cherished part of the family. 

Havamorkie Coat Type & Colors

Havamorkies have long, silky coats that can be straight or softly wavy. Like their parent breeds, their coats are made of hair rather than fur, which means they shed very little compared to many other dogs. The hair grows continuously and requires regular grooming to stay healthy and beautiful, but the reward is a plush, flowing coat that gives them their signature teddy‑bear look. 

Coat colors are one of the most eye‑catching features of this mix. Havamorkies can be found in white, cream, gold, red, black, sable, brindle, tan point, merle, parti, and endless combinations. Some puppies start out with darker coats that gradually lighten as they grow, while others keep their coloring more consistent into adulthood. 

Havamorkie Grooming & Coat Care

Havamorkie dogs have thick, silky coats that can be kept long and flowing or trimmed shorter for easier care. To keep their hair healthy and free of tangles, regular brushing with a pin brush and comb is best. Whether you prefer the coat left long or clipped short, a steady grooming routine helps them stay comfortable and looking their best. 

Bathing every few weeks keeps them clean without stripping away natural oils. Their faces also need daily attention—eye debris should be gently removed with a fine‑tooth comb and then wiped with a dry cotton round to reduce staining and keep the area neat. 

When grooming is consistent and positive, it becomes more than upkeep; it’s a bonding time. Havamorkies enjoy the attention, and the routine helps build trust.
