Papillon Mix - Otie

My Maltese Papillon mix Otie is the sweetest, cutest, most loving dog I have ever met. He is funny, well mannered, easy to train, and a joy to have around. He is the perfect size, about 8 lbs, and loves to just hang out on our lap or on our shoulder.

He is extremely social, and when he approaches somebody, his entire body wags with his beautiful tail. He belongs to my daughter; but when I am ready for a dog ( have 2 cats who are not as in love with Otie as I am), I will look for another Papitese.

He does not shed much, and only barks when he sees squirrels, or his other dog buddies, or dogs on t.v. I used to be a Golden Retriever kind of a person, but smaller has advantages. So many people ask what breed he is, and want one just like him.
