Maltese x Shitzu - Gizmo

Gizmo at 3 months

Gizmo is a highly energetic 4 month old Maltese x Shitzu!! He currently is about 7 pounds and is growing like a weed. He loves to play with our other dog, a 1 1/2 old boxer... even though he is much smaller, he still rules the house. He loves to be held and will rest his head on your shoulder.

He was very quick to potty train, only took a few weeks and he hasn't had a accident in the house in months. I think its really helped having another dog for him to learn from. He will play for hours on end and then all of a sudden he will disappear and I will find him fast asleep behind the couch.

Only downfall is he is a early riser and loves to chew on anything he can get his little paws on, especially tearing apart Kleenex and toilet paper!!! Other than that I love our little man and hope that our Shitzu Maltese mix is around for a long time!
