What Are Maltese Mix Dogs?

Maltese cross breed dogs & where to find them

A Maltese mix happens when a Maltese breeds with another purebred dog.

Although Maltese mix dogs will never be able to walk in a show ring, they are still wonderful dogs to adopt if you are a Maltese dog lover and want to save a precious life.

Please do not purchase these dogs from a breeder. If you discover a Maltese mix that would fit well with your family, you can easily adopt one at a Maltese Dog Rescue instead (and for a lot less money)!
