I'm the breeder behind McConnell’s Morkies located in Nashville, TN. It is our goal to produce adorable, affectionate Morkie puppies that are healthy, well-tempered, and make wonderful companions. Our dogs have proven to be the greatest companions to our family. We started breeding to contribute to breed betterment and to share smart and loveable puppies with other families.
About Elizabeth
Hi, I’m Elizabeth McConnell. My first morkie was Lilly Grace, she was a gift from my parents when I was 9 years old. She was my best friend growing up and went everywhere she could with me. I had her almost 12 amazing years. My morkie now is named Rose Lillian, she is named after Lilly. Rose Lillian is almost 3 years old. She is my baby girl, she means the world to me.
What makes Elizabeth’s program special
I believe what makes our breeding program so special is that I don’t breed for the money. I bred Morkies for families hoping that a little girl or boy will get to grow up with one as their best friend like I did. They are such an amazing dog breed. My morkies are very well tempered, and laid back.

“The price includes a health record for each pup. I try to be as detailed as possible. Depending who we bred her to, if the stud have AKC papers and is imported then you will be a copy of all his papers as well. All of our pups are the same price no matter the color. The only time the price would be higher is if we had a teacup or tiny toy pup that stayed under 4lbs. We can tell by weighing them when they’re born.”

Why Elizabeth started breeding
I got into breeding from my parents, they thought it would be a great idea for us to learn how pregnancy and the birthing process works by have a litter of pups. I got my first Morkie when I was 9 years old, she had 3 litters. She was amazing and gave birth all 3 times in my parents bed.
