Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Pedro

by Chrissy
(Gold Coast, QLD, AUSTRALIA)

Pedro is now 5 months old. My Chihuahua Maltese mix is gentle and sweet, but a real clown at times. His 'party trick' for attention-seeking has been, from age 2 1/2 months, to flip his bed upside down onto his head and gallop around the house underneath it!! He has even chewed a hole in the bottom of it now and when he's not running around underneath it, has got his head pushed through the hole and sometimes goes to sleep like this!

We got him when he was 7 weeks old, (I found him by doing a search on the net for Maltese Chihuahua mix). The people I bought him off gave me a list of the diet he had been on; I saw he had been used to getting warm milk with breakfast. I would have continued to do so had I not been told by the lady at the local pet shop (where I bought his expensive kibble), milk is no good for puppies so I did not offer him any. For the first 4 mornings after I got him, he would eat his kibble a bit, then come out to the kitchen, look at me and softly whimper (oh so quietly and sooo cute) for his warm milk!! It took all my willpower to not give in to him! However,he was smart enough to know after day 4, warm milk was off the menu for good and he gave up wimpering for it!

He also used to carry his stuffed bear bed toys to his food and his pee pad (I'm sure he thought they were his litter mates, also sooo cute to see my Maltese Chihuahua do this).

He has loads of character, is very expressive, 'talks' to me when he's playful, makes noises like an Ewok.

My husband and I think my Chihuahua Maltese not only the cutest, but also 'the best little dog in the world'!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Pistol

by Terry
(Oklahoma City, OK)

You can guess by the name that Pistol is a real Pistol. We got our Chihuahua Maltese mix at 6 weeks and he weighed just 1 pound. He is now 15 months old and has settled in at about 5 pounds.

He has the big chest, apple head, solid stance of a Chihuahua and the adorable nose and big eyes of a Maltese. His hair is oddly some of both. He is black and white. The white being fine and longer (and sheds) the black being shorter and doesn't shed as much. Mostly he looks messed up all the time which is part of his charm. He likes his head messed up and if you try to comb him he immediately messes it up just right.

Pistol is protective of our home and property but has never growled, nipped or bitten any of our 6 smaller grandchildren. He is always full of energy and NEVER meets a stranger. He thinks everyone comes to see him and he definitely enjoys it.

He is also the smartest little thing. He knows commands such as "No Lick", "Time Out", "Lay Down", and of course "Treat". He pretty much lives to eat something or maybe I should say anything.

Everyone who meets Pistol wants to know what he is, where he comes from, and can they get one. You can't much beat that.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Cutie

by Lauren
(Victorville, California)

I bought this dog from a woman yesterday and she told me he was a Chihuahua Maltese mix. He is 6 months old and very sweet. I named him cutie because all I could say when I got him was "he's such a cutie."

The only problem is I've never had a dog before and I don't know how to train him. I got my Chihuahua Maltese puppy these potty pads and he just will not use them. he keeps going all over my floor. I want him to use the pads because he is too small to go outside and I'm afraid a coyote might get him because I live in the desert.

I need help =[ any suggestions? If anyone would be so kind as to email me, my email is lauren_ashj18@yahoo.com

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Tiny Dawg

by Linda W.
(Midlothian, Texas)

Tiny Dawg (Tiny) is our 3.5 lb. Chihuahua Maltese mix puppy. I fell instantly in love with him when I saw his picture, posted as a 'Chi-tese' on the internet, and went to get him right away. We think he is absolutely adorable and we love his boa-feathery look on his tiny Chihuahua frame! I haven't seen many Malchis that look like Tiny or are as little as he is, but he is just the perfect size for our female chi, Honey. They cuddle and play together all day long.

Tiny's personality is generally calm and quiet, and sometimes he's a bit shy, but we always laugh at his bold guarding of the front door when he hears us rattle the knob. Tiny has a sweet and friendly personality and gets along really well with our other puppies and with our kitties, too.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Penny

by Onetta
(Montana)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix looks more Maltese than Chihuahua. Many mistake her as being full blooded Maltese, but when she is shaved she looks just like her Chihuahua half.

She is the sweetest dog. She is very energetic, loves to play with our Brittany Spaniel and loves to play tag with our cats.

When she is not doing something she likes to cuddle up on the couch, and even though she is a small dog, some how she manages to take up most of the couch.

But one down fall I believe happens with this mix of dog is that the Chihuahua has longer legs than the Maltese and breeding them together may cause a problem.

Penny was born with deformed back legs. Her knees would constantly pop out of place. Which was very painful for her. The Vet told us eventually her legs would completely give out on her so when took preventive action and did knee surgery on her. The first surgery was a failure. Her legs were so deformed that it did not take and a specialist was called in. He said they were the worst he had ever seen. But the second surgery was a success, and Penny is once again up and running at the speed of sound.

My Chihuahua Maltese mix is the kindest, sweetest, most caring dog you can ever have.

Malchi's are Number One!!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Inuyasha

by Diana
(Los Angeles, CA)

This is my beautiful little Chihuahua Maltese mix boy Inu! He is very smart, playful and has the funniest expressions. I got him at 7 weeks and he has been with me for almost 14 months.

His ears are droopy like Maltese ears. His hair is kind of wiry but soft of course and of medium length. He has a shedding cycle but his coat is easy to maintain.

He loves playing with my Chihuahua they are both boys. He has great temperament and loves to exercise. He usually gets suspicious of strangers but like ten seconds later he will lick their fingers clean. I love him sooo much!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Pancho

by Luz
(Dallas, TX)

My Malchi or Chihuahua Maltese mix, is two years old now and he weighs 6 pounds. He was the only dog in his litter that looked more like a Chihuahua; the others looked more like Maltese. He's very spoiled and he loves to sleep!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Mitzi

by Rita Capers
(Memphis, TN )

Mitzi is the best little dog I have ever had. My Chihuahua Maltese mix is so lovable. She weighs 8lbs. She follows me everywhere I go and when I sit at the computer she lays on her pillow next to my feet until I get ready to leave. When I drive she likes to lay her head on my arm in my lap as I drive.

My family says she is spoiled. But she is my little girl. That's what I call her Mitzi the little girl. This picture is when my Chihuahua Maltese was 6 months old. She is now 1 yr.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Emmitt

by Christine G. W.
(Deltona, FL, USA)

Emmitt our Chihuahua Maltese mix is 11 years old now and still the sweetest dog ever. The funniest thing about him is that when he is on your lap and you pet him and then stop, he will paw your hand to remind you to keep petting him. Also, he has to bury all his treats in the back yard. He doesn't play with toys or chew anything in the home. He is so good with people that I often get the threat of people wanting them for themselves. And on a few occasions he has run off and people returned him to me because of his tag, but admitted they didn't want to.

His name comes from Dr. Emmett Brown from "Back to the Future" because he has white wiry hair that stands up crazy like the Doc when it gets longer. My friends with dog allergies LOVE our Chihuahua Maltese mix because he does not shed and they can be around him. He does need a groomer every 3 months or sooner.

He is very Loyal. It is obvious that I am his owner. Despite years with my husband feeding him, it is ME he follows, sleeps next to, and looks to when he doesn't feel well.

He was given up. A stray living with homeless people when a friend took him and brought him to me. The diet they gave him of sausages and cart food ruined his belly. At this point in time we deal with his poor digestive track and the damage to it. They have sensitive bellies, as most small dogs do. Take great care of their bellies. No table scraps, no people food, just the low fat dog food mixed with some Omega-3 for their coat and Cholesterol.

Maltese Chihuahuas need some crate training for potty issues, but not forever. Emmitt is my first dog and I could never have asked for better.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Daisy

by Debbie
(California)

Our Chihuahua Maltese mix is the best thing that has come into our life. She is so intelligent, loving, and very playful.

She loves to go for car rides, in fact we took her to AZ from CA. She was tremendous! I was so proud of her. No problems whatsoever.

She loves our grandchildren and is good around the baby. I'm so glad I have her...I just love her soooo much!!!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Lucy

by Jess
(Miami, Florida)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix Lucy is now a little over 7 months old and is by far the best puppy I have ever had. She is 9 pounds and comes from a purebred Maltese mama and marble coated pure bred Chihuahua papa.

She loves to play with other dogs and is warming up to people. She is especially curious around babies and loves to run in circles around them until she gets them giggling.

She has no separation anxiety and no issues with barking. In fact, very few people have ever heard her bark! She's quiet, but has lots of personality.

My Maltese Chihuahua mix to play chase, fetch, and snuggle. She was relatively easy to potty train and is picking up on a few commands like sit, lay down, and stay.

We love her so much and look forward to her Lucy dance of happiness when we come home everyday.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Tater-Tot

by Leah
(Fort Mill, SC 29715)

My sweet little Chihuahua Maltese mix is about 14 months old. I have had him since he was a tiny little puppy. He is white with tan markings.

His personality is so great you wouldn't believe it. I feel in love with him the moment i saw him. He's full of energy, love,and he also thinks he's the size of a horse... he is dominant to our male Cocker Spaniel and he is dominant to all of my moms male animals, and he just makes you feel better on a bad day.

If you have never been blessed with a Chihuahua Maltese mix breed you would to own one if you like small dogs. But all in all you got to love them.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Jax

by Felicia
(Canton, NC)

Jax was just born three weeks ago by his mom Sadie she is a Maltese, his dad is a Chihuahua.

He was born in a litter of lucky seven the all are so cute. I think we will really enjoy him cause we enjoy his mother.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Teyla

by Cindy
(Tremont, MS, USA)

Teyla is a Moma's baby. She goes everywhere I go. She has to sleep with me or my daughter. She is a ball of energy, always chasing her tail or running laps around the living room.

She is also pretty smart. She knows 3 of her toys by name and will go touch them when I ask her for them. Sometimes I get lucky and she actually will bring them to me. I like to think that she thinks fetch is boring... that's why she only brings the toy back a couple of times. Haha.

She is only 5 1/2 months old so I don't think she is through growing yet but looks like she is going to stay pretty small.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Sidney

by katie =)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix is about to turn 3 years old. She is VERY playful and VERY cute. She loves to eat and go for walks.She is very sweet, except she sometimes attacks.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Toshiro

by Erica Guzman
(Lennox, CA)

Toshiro is a mix of a Maltese mother named Osita (means little bear) and a Chihuahua father named poncho. He is a charismatic and loving dog. And was very easy to train since we trained him when he was very young. He just so happens to have a two tone color eyes. They are gray on the inside and a yellow/golden color on the outside. He is a loving dog and always wants to be with me. He had already learned so many tricks which is fast for a puppy who is now 4 months old!!

My Chihuahua Maltese mix also loves to play with people or by himself as long as he has a toy. At times he does get jealous when other dogs are around and yet he never turns aggressive (barking, growling, snapping... etc.) He is also very amiable and loves being with people. even when he sleeps he likes to sleep right next to me on my bed. Luckily for me he doesn't shed much so there never extreme amounts of fur everywhere. I just love him and I don't know what i will do without him. I just love him from his scruffy fur, pointy ears, and cute pink nose.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - JoJo

by Nickelson Family
(Powell, Tennessee, USA)

We got our Chihuahua Maltese mix JoJo as a puppy from a pet store and fell in love with him as soon as we saw him. He is a wonderful part of our family.

He is a Momma's boy. He stays with me where ever I go. He is a lap baby. He loves to be loved on but then their is a side of him that he wants to play too. He will go and get his toys and bring them to us and he tries to get us to get it from him and then we do and we throw it down the hall way. He returns it wanting more.

I have two children and they adore him. He does very well with them. He likes to jump on their beds to give them kisses or just find a comfy spot to sleep. He also likes to go in the car. He loves to help drive the car with you. It is very funny. Sometimes we tell him we are going to Mamaw's and he gets so excited I swear he yelps Mamaw. He is a wonderful pet. We just love him a lot.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Sweetie

by Kirby Bible
(Fort Lauderdale, Fl.)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix Sweetie is 3 years old and is sooooooooooo very smart. I have owned many dogs, but find her to be the smartest one I have ever had. We have to spell words, and I still think she knows what we are saying. By far Sweetie is the best dog we have ever owned.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Casper

My Chihuahua Maltese mix is the sweetest most loving little thing. He is 9 months old and is great with my kids and just loves everyone.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Hugo

by Erika Barron
(Kenley, Surrey, England)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix is about 3 and a half months old and he is very playful. He rarely barks, only about once every other day. When he is lonely he cries a bit so he needs a lot of attention. He is a non shedding type. He is mainly white but has different shades of brown around his ears and he has a couple of dark brown patches.

His favourite toy is his tennis ball! It took about a week to toilet train him, by rewarding good behaviours with treats. His coat is very fluffy and long and my Chihuahua Maltese is great to cuddle up with at night times in bed!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Samantha

by Sandra
(Jupiter, FL, USA)

Samantha, my Chihuahua Maltese mix, is 3 today (Nov 28). She weighs 6-7 pounds and is very quiet until she gets very excited about seeing someone, then the barking begins.

She gets nervous shakes at loud noises: thunder, lawn crew, really loud TV noises, vacuum, etc..

She is very playful with her male Papillon companion. The run TOP SPEED through the house and yard when they get going.

She is incredibly lovable and loves to lay down on the couch, constantly in contact with someone.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Lady

by Nedra. Lee
(Lancaster, CA.)

I fell in love with her my Chihuahua Maltese mix when I first seen her. U see she looks to me like my favorite disney dog. Lady in "Lady and the Tramp." I'm not sure she's Chihuahua mixed with Maltese cause she sure looks like that Spaniel. All 4 1/2 lbs. But whatever she is she's a keeper and very entertaining. Also she looks like a Lab pup miniture size. Yah. Also She loves table food. We know not to make that a habit but she wont eat her own if there food near.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Valentine

by Terri
(Rancho Cucamonga, CA)

We got our Chihuahua Maltese mix Valentine when she was about 9 weeks old (this is the picture the day we got her). She was named that by the people we got her from because she has a heart shaped mark on the top of her head. Her eyes are hazel and she was the last one of the litter, it seems no one wanted her.

She's about 8 months now and looks a lot like a Jack Russell Terrier. Our Maltese Chihuahua mix loves to run and jump. She chases her tail all the time. She hardly ever barks and when she hears the garage door open when my husband comes home she'll run back and forth crying and looking down the stairs until he comes in.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - JoJo

by Cherise
(Phoenix, AZ, USA)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix JoJo will turn 1 on Feb 8th. She has been the best dog ever. She is very affectionate an loyal.

She loves to play fetch and to travel in the car. She is the best "little sister" to our 7 year old son.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Prancer

by Trish
(San Diego, Ca)

My little Chihuahua Maltese mix is 8 months old and I swear he is ADD. He gets bored in 10 seconds. He is super curious and extremely jealous of our other dog Peetie who is a Chihuahua mini Pincher mix. Peetie is totally mellow and really doesn't want to be bothered while Prancer is Mr Spaz.

Prancer weighs 10 lbs and has really long legs which makes him an excellent jumper. That is how he got his name. When he was 3 months it was like watching a baby calf (water legs). When he plays he tends to swat like a Boxer.

Our Maltese Chihuahua mix is a super loving dog and always wants to be on your lap. We just need to work on the jealousy.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Keiver

by Keith
(Bellingham, MA)

We just got a Chihuahua Maltese mix puppy. Her name is Keiver (from Keith & Veronika). Her mama is the Chihuahua and her daddy is a Maltese. Everyone says she looks like a mini German Shepard. We love her!!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Bailey

by Seana
(Miami, FL usa)

Bailey the Chihuahua Maltese mix was a gift to me from my boyfriend 2 years ago. When she was just 6 weeks old, and she looked like a cotton ball. Her parents were a Chihuahua and a Maltese, not sure which was which.

She is the sweetest, most loving dog. She definitely asserts her dominants with the cat and ferrets, however never hurts them. At the dog park my Chihuahua Maltese barks at the Bull Mastiffs. Really a character. The coolest person I know... Bailey.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Goose

by Renee
(Phoenix)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix Goose is fearless. He is not interested in playing with other small dogs. His best friends are large dogs.

He is extremely smart and does well in his training classes, but is very stubborn. He is 6 pounds at 5 1/2 months, and shouldn't be much bigger.

He has short wiry hair on his body and longer white hair around his face.He is tan and white in color, and even has spots on his skin all over tummy.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Lucy

by Brian
(San Francisco)

I picked my Chihuahua Maltese mix Lucy up 2 days ago and let me just say, I'M IN LOVE WITH HER!!!!!!!!! She's 10 weeks old and full of lovin. We've bonded in just 2 short days.

I really wanted a Maltese because of their temperament and because they shed very little, however, I think they're more than just a bit girly looking. I've always wanted a scruffy looking dog and, wouldn't you know it, I came across my Lucy who had all of the physical qualities I was looking for AND she's half Maltese! WOO HOO! Just look at that face - How couldn't you love her!

I have 2 Russian Blue cats that I love VERY much, therefore, I'm taking it VERY slow with the introductions as recommended on several websites.

AnyWHO, that's my story so far. This puppy will be SPOILED but will learn manners and become socialized with other dogs and humans so she's a well-rounded dog ;)

Cheers to all that have a Malchi - Love them as you would a human!!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Delilah Olivia

by Jamie
(Orange)

Delilah is the sweetest most lovable Chihuahua Maltese mix. She loves everyone, has never been aggressive towards anyone or anything.

She loves to play, go for walks, and eat ice cubes and of course cuddle.

She is now 9 months and about 13 lbs. Very soft Maltese hair, hardly sheds. She is the love of our lives!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Hasting

by Karen
(Ontario, Canada)

We absolutely love our Chihuahua Maltese mix Hasting! (We got him from Hastings, Ontario). He loves to play, very loyal, loves kisses and cuddles and he is extremely cute!

His mama was the Chihuahua and so he is white and golden. He is 6 pounds. When we take him for a walk we always get stopped by everyone because he is soooh cute!

Our trainer suggested we should have called him Napolean because he is totally fearless! The only thing we have to work on is his barking when the doorbell rings and to people who visit us. When we leave our house he goes on our kitchen table and howls - he is very attached to us!

He just turned one years old - Happy Birthday Hasting! He loves cheese and so for his birthday cake he got (guess!)a piece of cheese with a candle!!! We can't imagine life without him!!!

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Kenzie

by Kristie G.
(Nederland, Texas )

After not owning a dog in about 10 yrs I found my Malchi, or Chihuahua Maltese mix, on a local website and absolutely adore her. I can't imagine my life without her and don't know what I have done all these years without her.

She is black and white and looks more like a Maltese than a Chihuahua. She doesn't like a bath very much and look out when she gets out of the tub, this lil girl goes absolutely CRAZY!!!! She loves to play outside and is very timid around other dogs.

Everyday before I get my girls from school I pick her up so she can ride with me and as soon as they get in the car she gets so excited she doesn't know what to do. She definitely makes our family complete.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Cookie

by Jarrell Keathley
(Louisville, Kentucky America)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix is a lap dog very energetic. He has the cutest growl in the world and he is sneaky. He loves treats! If leave the house for work and you come back home he will try to give you a hug. He's only 1 years old, his b-day is Mar 13. My Chihuahua Maltese is black and white he is the cutest dog in the world.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Little Bear

by Mary
(Moore, OK)

Little Bear AKA Nugget is my beautiful little Chihuahua Maltese mix baby. He follows me all over the house and when I come home he'll just jump and bark until I pick him up.

I do believe he has Napoleon syndrome because he things he's big and bad, protecting his bone (against two 70 lb boxers), protecting me and the house. He'll continually bark when someone comes in the house. I've taught him a quiet command - sometimes it works sometimes not. When I take him to the park with our big dogs, he'll run as fast as his little legs will go to keep up. He wrestles with our cat and is very mischievous.

As soon as he knows he's in trouble he'll roll on his back and look at you with big beautiful eyes... How can you be mad at such a cutie. Never thought I'd love a little dog (always had big ones) but love him to death.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Binkey

by Brenda Willis
(Ofallon Mo)

My Chihuahua Maltese mix or Malchi is two years old and is only three pounds. He loves to watch TV, play fetch. And when he wants his way he will drag his back legs and make baby like sounds. Binkey travels with me all the time. He is very sweet and love kids.

His hair is now to the ground and when people see him they do not believe he is a Maltese mix. Little Binkey is truly a great joy in my life.

Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Ozzie

by Carolyn
(Montreal)

Ozzie is a very active, loyal, loving and playful Chihuahua Maltese mix dog. He goes gaga for little children and other animals and is very gentle with them. He is super intelligent, and has tricks up his sleeve all the time, meaning that when he wants something he finds new and clever ways to get it. The things he does I never knew possible for a dog until Ozzie entered my life. He is sympathetic and knows when me or anyone else is feeling down and when we're happy. (He cuddles and licks your face when you"re upset and when you're happy he always tries to get some playtime with you) He is protective of me and knows when someone or something isn't right. He is independent and likes to do his own thing a lot of the time and will come to you when he wants to and goes absolutely crazy happy when you arrive home. It took a while for me to train him with certain things but once he's got it down he listens and follows what I say with no hassle. My Chihuahua Maltese mix knows what are the good things to do and which ones are bad, and will always have a guilty look on his face if he did something bad, even if I didn't notice it yet! He knows I'm his "mommy" but will treat new people he is comfortable with like gold, he spends most of his time with them because he knows they're going to leave and he knows I'll always be here, so he likes his time with other people to be worthwhile. :)

I can literally write a novel about my Maltese Chihuahua dog Ozzie, the stories and amazing things he does is never ending. I am so happy I adopted Ozzie and will always love every second I spend with him. Everyone who meets Ozzie instant falls in love with him and can't believe what an amazing little guy he is :) He's never ending entertainment! (especially when he plays with my cat Basil or my two bunnies, Izzy and Oreo whom he is extremely protective over as well and completely gentle with them too!) Hope everyone is as happy with their little Malchis like I am with Ozzie :)
