These dogs do wonderful with children and other dogs. Most people find them to have a willful and clownish personality.

Appearance

If you like a little white puffball, than this Maltese mix might be right for you! Since both the Bichon Frise and the Maltese are white, this hybrid dog is also always white.

Hair is usually soft, fine, and losely curled. These dogs should be professionally groomed every 4 weeks to keep hair trimmed and clean.

They are also nonshedding and most are hypoallergenic. Full grown Bichon Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 6-15lbs.
