They are an adorable, little Maltese dog breed mix that comes in many different color combinations and is growing in popularity
because of their playful personality.
These dogs take on the temperament of both Shih Tzus and Maltese. They are spunky, hardy, and alert little dogs. Most make friends easily
with other dogs and people and are very playful. These dogs do great with gentle and considerate children.
They have a lot of character and can be stubborn and clever. Some may be difficult to housebreak and need consistent patient training.
They also make a good watchdog, but usually do not bark excessively. Most people find them to have a courageous, yet gentle personality.
If you already have a Shitzu Maltese mix or know someone that does, check out these unique gifts for dog lovers below.
This Maltese mix can come in a wide variety of colors, but is usually brown, black, or tan mixed with white and is sometimes solid white.
Their hair is usually long and straight. Therefore, they need daily combing and brushings.
Some shed lightly, while others do not shed at all
and are hypoallergenic. Full grown Maltese cross Shih Tzu dogs can weigh anywhere from 8-15lbs.
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 Malshi.
