Maltichon Rescue - Cody
Cody is a Maltichon rescue dog as well. He was rescued from a family member who kept him in a very small crate most of the time. However, at about 1 1/2 yrs we took possession of him.
He is extremely bright and wasn't difficult to potty train at all. Though he had many accidents in the cage previously, it seemed that all he needed was a timely schedule. Currently, he is walked at 8:30a for about 15mins. He has a bowel movement in the am and sometimes the pm. He is then walked again at lunchtime where he just urinates and a third time about 5:00p. His final walk is before bed around 9:45p and that schedule is adhered to daily. Furthermore, in the short time that we have had him (six months) it has become apparent to us that he readily understands approx 100 words. I heard dogs learned words throughout their lives and I put him to the test. He retrieves a "blue dog" when asked and will go in to wake my son when told to "go get Anthony". He is really quite amazing and we, like the others, wouldn't trade him for anything.
After owning dogs my entire life I would have to say this Maltichon is by far the sweetest most intelligent dog I've ever seen. If you have an opportunity to own one you will not regret it. They love affection, attention, and will hang on your every word. In short, they aim to please!
