These hybrid dogs are recognized by the
American Canine Hybrid Club
and can be registered on their website.
They are one of the rarest Maltese mixes, but are becoming more popular because of their strong loyalty and affectionate personality.
A Papillon Maltese mix takes on the temperament of both Papillons and Maltese. They are gentle, responsive, and very sociable little dogs.
Papitese are also highly
intelligent and easy to obedience train. Be sensitive while training though, because harsh words can easily upset them. They love to be around people,
dogs, cats and any other pets.
They are alert watch dogs, but welcoming to most strangers. Most people find Papitese puppies to have a cheerful,
affectionate, and loyal personality.
If you already have a Maltese Papillon dog or know someone that does, check out these unique gifts for dog lovers below.
These Maltese Papillon dogs come in almost any color, including cream, gold, white, silver, blue, and black. Most are parti (two colors) or tricolor (three colors).
Hair is usually wavy, soft, and double-coated; with both an outer and undercoat.
They may also be nonshedding like a Maltese or shed very lightly like a Papillon. Although some do shed, they are almost always hypo allergenic.
Full grown Papillon Maltese average 9-12 lbs, about 3-4 lbs larger than a purebred Maltese.
If so, your "designer dog" could be famous! Please tell us all about your Maltese mix and we'll put it on our website. What kind of personality does s(he) have? What makes him/her so special? Let other Maltese Maniacs know what to expect from a Papitese.
