Maltese Westie Dog Breed - Joey

Rainy day

We tried to figure out what our Maltese Westie dog breed Joey was for a long time. He's just too big and has a straight tail, he can't be a Maltese! But just his personality gives it away; he's gotta have some terrier in him.

He loves walks, and absolutely loves to play, but he will sit quietly on your lap for hours. He's the only dog I know that can have a staring contest with you and not be growling. His love of strangers gets him in trouble sometimes, running off to say hello to the neighbors, but he's easily coaxed back with the shake of his treat jar.

Our Maltese Westie hates squirrels, and will never give up the chase; he also enjoys treeing cats. Everybody who meets him wants to keep him, he's a big white shaggy ball of loving!
