Meet the breeder

I'm John M., the breeder behind Melanie's Morkies located in Decatur, TX. **About Us & Our Decision to Have One Special Litter** We absolutely adore our two fur babies, and for years we’ve talked about how wonderful it would be to have a puppy from them to continue their sweet personalities and loving temperaments. Now accepting a waiting list. We are expecting 4-6 pups.

Q. & A. with John

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We chose to breed our puppies out of love for the Morkie breed and a desire to share their sweet temperament, intelligence, and companionship. Our focus is on health, care, and raising well-socialized puppies for loving homes. 🐶💛

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes us special is, we are NOT breeders. We are loving parents to two beautiful, sweet, smart furbabies. A Yorkie and Morkie.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black & tan tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    From the very first conversation, I knew I had found the right breeder! They are not only incredibly knowledgeable about their Morkies, but also genuinely kind, patient, and passionate about what they do. One of the things that stood out most was the daily updates—photos, videos, and little notes about the puppies’ progress. It made me feel connected to my future pup every step of the way, and I could see the love and care they put into raising each litter. Melanie and Ray are warm and welcoming, always happy to answer questions and share advice. Their transparency, dedication to health, and commitment to matching each puppy with the right home made the process stress-free and joyful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a breeder who treats their dogs like family and keeps you involved from day one, these are truly wonderful people to work with.

    I received my baby happy and healthy. She came home a social butterfly and easily adapted to her new environment. Melanie took such good care of Star, you can tell she genuinely loves this line of work. She provided many pictures and updates daily for a whole month. She even went out of her way to purse train her and she offers free babysitting. I recommend her for your fur babies. I am so glad I came across her post for my sweet little baby. Thank you Melanie, Star was well loved in your care !!!!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Melanie's Morkies ! We brought home our beautifully perfect little Morkie - Dobby (fka Benny), and he has been everything we hoped for and more. He came to us healthy, happy, calm, affectionate, and with just the right amount of sass. From the very beginning, you could tell he was well cared for , socialized , and thoughtfully raised. He was already very well adjusted to his crate/enclosure, which made the transition into our home so much smoother. It’s clear they put a lot of time, care and love into raising these puppies, it truly shows in their temperament. Communication was excellent from start to finish. They kept the baby pics coming too, because can you ever get too many puppy pics ? I think not. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a happy, well-socialized gorgeous little love bug. ❤️
