Maltese Pekingese Mix - Biscuit

Biscuit is a silly clown Maltese Pekingese Mix. He weighs 8 lbs and is 11 months old. He is white with black undercoat on his ears, with shades of brown on his back. He has somewhat curly hair and a pretty poofy white tail.

He loves to snuggle and gives hugs when I hold him up to my shoulder like a baby. He also likes to play chase with my cats and 8 year old boy. When Biscuit gets wound up playing chase the fun begins. The cats can be done and the boy can be winded and out of breath but Biscuit will run around the house and dart towards the others with a big smile on his face enticing them to play again! He also will walk on his hind legs, hop and turn in circles for a milk bone.

He rarely bark and makes the silliest little almost robotic purring sound for a whine. He loves his bath and loves to be brushed. He smiles and prances around after he's all clean and fluffy.

He has been hard to house train, lifting his leg on things and leaving little tootsie rolls here and there. I take him out up to 8 times a day but he rarely poops outside. I can have him out for 15 minutes where he will sniff and mark here and there but comes back in the house to poop!

My former experience was always with big dogs, Rottweilers and Labs. My Pekingese Maltese mix Biscuit is far more personable than the big dogs, having a friendlier more "human" personality but the big dogs were far far easier to potty train!
