My Maltese Chihuahua puppy is the sweetest little girl I would ever want... she is a real diva also. Loves to cuddle and be near me. She also loves kids... any age or type she is a real lover that is for sure.

She also gets along with my other dog, my cats and my 2 bunnies. She couldn't and wouldn't hurt anyone or anything. My Maltese Chihuahua loves to play but will be more then happy to veg on the couch with you also.

We got our Maltese Chihuahua puppy Kimmy at 14 weeks from the Animal Defense League. We fell in love with her immediately. She rules the house and has been the greatest companion for our 2 yr. old Corgi Sheltie mix. They run and play and are always into something. Our Maltese Chihuahua is a real delight and couldn't have ask for a better pet.

She loves our 3 grand children ages 8, 3 and 8 month and lays on the floor beside the baby and he plays and plays with her. They play tug of war with her squeaking fox. What a special pet she is.

Maltese Chihuahua Puppy - Marty

Marty is an 11 week old Maltese Chihuahua puppy. He was 8 weeks when we got him. He has learned to use a pee pad in only one week. He is very smart and gets along great with other dogs.

He is full of energy and loves to socialize with people. My Maltese Chihuahua does not seem to be afraid of anything. Loves to be held. But when ready to play he goes all out.

Maltese Chihuahua Puppy - Bijoux

I had met the owner of my Maltese Chihuahua puppy 1 1/2 years earlier... Found out she owned the Chihuahua female and a Maltese male. I asked her if she'd be willing to let them breed, and she agreed to my relief! I told her I had owned one many years before, but wasn't aware it was a more common "breed" in recent years.

I saw Bijoux at 6 days old, and just fell in love! Out of 4 puppies, she was the only female. I was very involved in the first 8 wks. Before she came home, and the owner of her parents agreed to call her by her name right away, so she already "knew it" by the time I got her. I was told that from the start, she was the one who instigated all the "rough-housing" w/ her 3 brothers!

I was so amazed how quickly she learned commands!! She responded correctly to about 10 commands at 5 wks!! It seemed there was no end to her curiosity and bravery! She was very athletic right from the beginning...Trying to climb up everything, and I had to really watch to make sure she didn't jump down from too high...Until her legs were stronger to withstand the landings!

Her cutest trick now is "dance!" where she turns around in a circle on her hind legs for a treat! The other one she likes is "walk!"...And she'll walk side-ways towards me on her hind legs...Used to be straight, but that changed, and it's even cuter!!

She's 16 months now, and has become relentless antagonizing our 12 yr-old male cat, taz, to play! It took a year, but now taz engages in quite a few silly games w/ her...It provides many hours of hilarity around the house!

They are my "kids", so it's important they get along so well...They share beds...Sort of take turns, but although there are 1-2 pet beds in each room, they reserve those for day naps, and prefer their night-sleeping w/ us on the king-size bed!

I am surprised to read that the average weight is 4-7 pds! Bijoux weighs 11 pds.....The same as the cat, so they're evenly matched anyway..!!

She is extremely strong and lean, a longer body than I thought she'd have, and shorter legs...But is cream w/ her mother's blonde / beige dusting over the back, and ears...With the most adorable long red eyelashes!!!

She is super affectionate, very sweet disposition, and is a serious "attention hog", or, more like jealous if taz is around!

I've been fortunate that she learned house-training fairly well, but since she now can have the run of the property (1.25 acres w/ a 6' fence) she has increasingly become "hard-of-hearing" when I call her to 'come"...So I installed a hanging copper bell by the front door and ring it a few times instead. She comes running like a torpedo!!

I'd say the most difficult thing w/ Malchis is that if there's something else that interests them more, they can decide to have "an independent attack"!!

That's when you have to stick w/ the discipline, and not spoil them by giving in, or giving up! (the same as w/ children!)

Because I have no children of my own, (but I am one of 18 kids) Bijoux has really gotten most of my "waking hours" attention! Right now, I don't have a 9-5 job, but she does alright if I have to go away for 3-4 hrs. She learned how to use the dog door in 3 tries!!

She loves to walk on leash around the neighborhood (rural) and rarely barks in the yard unless she sees a human she doesn't recognize...(I don't allow her to bark incessantly as some neighbors do!!) she's not too keen on the bathing process, but loves to race around the house afterwards like a maniac!! She wears clothes very well, especially likes her sweatshirts and sweaters in the winter...And has waaaay toooo many clothes!!

The best thing we love is that she looooves her picture taken and "poses" so easily for them! We have tons of photos of her since she came home as an 8-wk. Old puppy.

One of her favorite things is running to my husband as soon as he walks in the door from work, and jumps from the floor into his arms like she has springs on her feet! What a joyful, loving little dog!

Our life has changed so drastically for the better since she entered it!!

We consider ourselves very blessed by her...Such a "little thing" means everything to us!!!

She's fearless, funny, playful, engaging, energetic, intelligent and completely adorable!!

I would highly recommend a Maltese hybrid, and waiting 15 years for another one was definitely worth it!!
