Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?
In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Buying a Morkie puppy
If you are looking at Morkie puppies for sale, choose adverts that name both parents, say which is the Maltese and which the Yorkshire Terrier, and give their ages and sizes. Because the Morkie is a crossbreed, the RKC can record it on its Activity Register rather than its Breed Register; that lets owners take part in agility, obedience and other RKC licensed activities, but not breed shows. A helpful advert will also say whether the Maltese parent has a current eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS scheme. Puppies should be at least eight weeks old when they leave, microchipped and recorded on a database, and a licensed breeder in England must show the licence number in the advert. Treat promises of a "teacup" size with caution, and always visit to see the puppies with their mother before paying a deposit.
Health tests to ask about
The Morkie has no health recommendations of its own, so breeders should follow those for each parent breed. For the Maltese, the RKC lists eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme as best practice before breeding. The Maltese also appears on the list of breeds eligible for the RKC and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading scheme for BOAS, but that test is not currently one of the breed's listed pre-breeding tests. For the Yorkshire Terrier, the RKC lists no pre-breeding screening at present, though this may change as research develops. Both parent breeds are in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no conformation concerns specific to the breed have been flagged for show judges.
The BVA Eye Scheme is open to crossbreeds as well as pedigree dogs, and a dog does not need to be RKC registered, so a Morkie that will be bred from can be examined too. The BVA advises eye examinations for both parents of any planned litter, and the RKC's eye screening guidance says breeding dogs should be examined within the 12 months before a mating.
Take care with Morkies sold as "teacup" or "micro". The RKC recognises no teacup breeds and warns that dogs bred for extreme smallness may have fragile bones and joint, heart, breathing or stomach problems.
