Mal-shi Puppy - Maggie

Maggie is my 5 1/2 month old Mal-shi puppy. She was born on Valentine's Day and came to live with me 6 weeks ago on June 12th. A birthday present I gave myself, she is the sweetest, smartest dog I've ever known.

Maggie was completely house trained in 2 weeks. She rarely barks except when she hears something outside. Then she barks like crazy and runs around the house alerting me. When time to potty she used to just sit at the door and wait for me to notice so I hung a bell by the door and trained her to use it when she needs to potty. She was trained in one day (I'm not exaggerating!) to use the bell. I am surprised how easy she is to train to do things.

My Mal-shi likes to chew so I make sure she was plenty of raw hides and toys to choose from. She likes her crate and often goes into it on her own to sleep. She also likes to eat, play with her toys and take walks with humans. She's a beautiful treasure and a wonderful companion.
