YorkTese: A combination of yorkshire terrier and maltese dogs. Both breeds are virtually nonshedding. As a matter of fact, some believe that the maltese was used in creating the yorkshire terrier. The yorkie is only about a 100 year old breed while the maltese has been dated back to 8000 BC. Some have even told me that if you get a yorkie that has a white chest or feet, that some of the maltese ancestry is showing. Both breeds have the same size and style of body and muzzle. The only differences between the two breeds are color, ears, and tail. The yorkies have darker, golden hair, while the maltese is white. The yorkies ears stand up, but some flop like a maltese. The yorkies have their tails cut for cosmetic reasons. They would have similar tails if it was left long. These dogs will require regular grooming or can be cut short (called "puppy cut"). They can be very playful, loving, alert, and smart. The yorktese has sometimes been referred to as a morky. There is no difference as the genetics are the same.
