Maltese Pomeranian - Bella

BELLA

We adopted our Maltese Pomeranian Bella as a puppy three years ago, and she has been a wonderful companion!

Very well mannered and friendly, she LOVES people and would gladly lick them to death! She is definitely a lap dog, as the first thing she does when I sit down is jump on my lap and fall asleep.We have no children, or any other dogs, so I don't know how she would be around them, but she is normally very well behaved.

She is also extremely intelligent, and I have officially run out of things to teach her!
She also isn't much of a barker. She doesn't 'yip' like a lot of other small dogs.

Her fur I keep in a puppy cut, as she greatly resembles a Maltese, and can grow to the ground if I let it! It is very fine, and can mat if I don't keep up on it. I groom her myself, since there isn't a reputable groomer around here.
All in all, we love our dog, and she continues to surprise us with her human-like qualities.

The only thing I will say negatively is that it took about 6 months of consistent potty training to get her over 2 years with zero accidents.
So don't give up if you have this problem! And do not use the paper training method.

The only thing that will work with these dogs is crate training. And it's not cruel if you do it right, in fact, our Maltese Pomeranian LOVES her crate, its her own special place!

Hope this helps!
