Maltese Shih Tzu Cross - Mitzee

(Philadelphia, PA USA)

Our little 4 1/2 year old Maltese Shih Tzu cross Mitzee is not so little, weighing in at 17.5 lbs. She lives with an older Pekingese brother, who is 9 1/2. Mitzee is the cutest little dog, children love her, they think she is a stuffed animal, because she just hangs there like one, when she is being held. She loves to walk on our tredmill, takes long walks with her Mommy (the Pekingese just wants to smell on wallks, so they usually go separate). She loves the Daddy of the house, and follows him around, whichever room he is in, yes even to bed :) She is a great entertainer. Say the word 'squirrel', 'cat' or 'bird' and she is right at our door, ready to protect. Our Maltese Shih Tzu cross knows many tricks, and she talks to you alot. She can say "I love you", and whenever we come home, she yells at us for about 5 minutes. She lights up the whole house, and we are blessed to have our Malshi dog!
