Chief -Yorkie Maltese Mix

My Yorkie Maltese mix Chief puts a huge smile on anyone's face who comes into contact with him. He is almost 2 1/2 years old now and people still think he's only 7 months old!

He is very well behaved and lives up to the Maltese breed by being the best companion a person could ever want! I simply can not explain what a wonderful addition he has been to our family.

He does "his business" outside on walks and if we're not on a walk, he tells me when he needs to go. And, if I'm not available, I actually taught him to go inside a dog litter pan with newspapers in it! He loves the praise he gets when mommy tells him what a good boy he was when he "goes in the box".

He absolutely loves big dogs (I'm talking about 80-100 pound dogs... It's the cutest thing to see him play with a dog this size, he's only a little under 10 pounds.

I would totally recommend this mixed breed to anyone, unless they have small children (it wouldn't be because of the kids getting hurt, it would be because the kids could hurt the dog).
