Maltese Japanese Chin Dogs - Bob

My Maltese Japanese Chin dog Bob was very easy to train compared to other dogs that I owned in the past. He took to his wee wee pad almost immediatly and has always been a social butterfly. He is around 9 pounds and 6 months old. bob is a very high maitenance when it comes to attentsion. If you do not pick him up and talk to him a least once a day he will become depressed and distant. I will often find him sulking alone unwilling to forgive me for my absence but he warms up a little after you attemp to play with him for a while.

That said he seems to have the positive traits of both dogs. He rarely barks(chin), he is very comfortable with being held for long periods or dressed in clothes (Maltese), he is absolutly fearless and very quiet around the house(chin), potty traing almost not even needed (chin), underbite (chin), elongated snout(Maltese), hypoallergenic hair (Maltese). That said I really love this dog!!!

He has an amazing personality and is super cute as I am told every time I walk him. In my opinion the Jatese (Maltese x Japanese Chin mix) is the ideal mixed breed of small dog for those that want it all.
