Papitese - Codie

by Charmaine
(Melbourne)

Well, where do I start, Codie is the cutest little thing ever. She's 4 months old.

She is very active puppy, always running around playing with anything she can get her paws on. She gets a little over excited sometimes wee's everywhere.

She very protective and barks at anyone and any dog even if they are 20 times bigger than her. Loves walks, hates being alone, she'll bark and scratch at the door til someones with her. She's a great dog.

Gypsy the Papitese

by Carrie H
(USA)

Gypsy is a Maltese Papillon mix, or Papitese, and is a sweet funny lovable lil puff of fur. She is a gift from Heaven and a blessing. She has the best personality. She is the love of a lifetime, and has changed my life forever. Without her I would be lost. I never expected anything like this when I went on my quest for a fur baby.

Her bad habits are rather limited... she likes Q-tips and toilet paper.. but lately has refrained from even that.. she does however have a weakness for her Daddy's socks! She loves to play and act silly.

When I leave for the day my only thought is to hurry up so I can get back to her, and when I walk in she is so crazy happy to see me... I let her out of her crate and she wiggles and whines and jumps straight in my arms, kissing me anywhere she can.

She loves kids... absolutely loves them. She tries to be a protector not realizing she couldn't hurt anyone if she tried. She is quiet and obedient... doing everything I tell her to do. She loves to pose and dress up.

It is truly like having the perfect child. I can't imagine life without this lil rag-a-muffin. I didn't think my husband would be very interested in her, but turns out she stole his heart also!

She loves everyone and everything.. but her true love is me , her Mommy. Where ever I am she is somewhere close by.. she hates for us to be apart. We are the best of friends.. if only she could talk... hahaha!

PAPITESE - TOBY

by TEAONCA HADDOCK
(HOLLY HILL,FL,USA)

MY PAPITESE IS VERY FUNNY AND NICE. HE LOVES TO MEET OTHERS BUT NOT DOGS. HE JUST DON`T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIS EARS LOL (ONE UP ONE DOWN). HE LOVES TO RUN AROUND THE HOUSE, BUT HATES THE OUTDOORS...HE LIKES TO SLEEP UNDER THE COUCH AND LOVES TO CUDDLE..HE'S AN ALL AROUND GREAT DOG...I CHOSE HIM OVER A TEACUP YORKIE BECAUSE MY PAPITESE IS SO GOOD...HE GETS ATTENTION EVERYWHERE HE GOES!!!!!!

Special Papitese - Charlie

Charlie the Papitese is five years old he has a special personality. He is very affectionate. He gets along with everybody. He is also afraid of the dark. And I think that sometimes he forgets he's a dog and not a person he loves to go for car rides.

Everywhere we go he gets so many compliments and he loves it. I love my Papitese Charlie, he's the greatest dog. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

Papitese - Bobby

by Austynne Holland
(Scottsdale, Arizona)

My Papitese dog Bobby is about one year old. Bob is a very cheerful fun loving dog to have around the house. He is very good with kids and always ready to play.

Bobby definetly has a mind of his own and when disciplined you can't say dogs forgive and forget, he remembers and sometimes tries to discipline back. He's such an amazing addition to our family. though when we looked up a the Papitese mix before buying we expected to have a little sized dog... haha good ol' bob is a whopping 20 pounds. Not just a thicker Papitese but also tall. Sometimes our family jokes that we actually paid for a miniature Bernice mountain dog.

His markings are beautiful he is all white with black ears and a black spot on his behind covering his right cheek, with a long fluffy straight tail that curls up over onto his back. grooming for bob is easy, get him cut about once every 3-5 months to keep his hair from growing out of control. since he is white, we bath him once every week to keep his coat looking nice.

Great dog, training takes a bit of work but work through the knots and a papitese is a great loyal fun loving companion, no matter who is the household.

Papitese - Scooby

Our Papitese is very affectionate and has been very easy to train. He was crate trained very early and has been house trained since about 4-5 months. He is around 2 children ages 8 and 10. They have never had issues with him and he likes to sleep in their rooms. We are a very athletic family and he runs up to 5 miles with us. He was a breed that met all of our needs as a family pet. Our Papitese does not shed, is hypoallergenic, barks very little, can exercise safely with us and has a wonderful temperment.

Papitese Princess - Tootsie-Rose

by Michelle Harron
(Gold Coast Australia)

We've had our little Papitese Princess for nearly ten years now, she will be ten on the 24th of March and we celebrate her birthday every year.
She is the best behaved dog we have ever had, so easy to look after and we all love her dearly!
I have never known a dog to be so happy to see you when you get home from work, and her memory of family and friends is incredible.

She is very responsive to commands with her favourite - liver treats, she licks her lips when she sees them and will do almost anything you ask of her.

She had to have some dental work done last year, but apart from no longer being able to peel her own grapes she copes quite well!

Even friends who are not 'dog lovers' want to take her home as she is so cute and adorable.

Papitese - Buzz Butt

by Joyce
(Columbia SC)

Buzz is a 3.6 lb gray and white 8 mo old Papitese. He has very large butterfly ears that stand straight up. Our vet said she doesn't think he will ever grow into them. Every where I take him he steals all the attention. He is the sweetest most adorable baby. My Papitese may be very small but he has a great big heart.

Spoiled Papitese - Tobi

by Jeannie
(NY, NY)

Getting my Papitese Tobi is one of the very best decisions I have ever made! Omigosh I luv my dog soooo much. He is a part of my family. I just can't wait to get home from work to see what he's up to and how he's doing.

He is an excellent dog, very obedient, loyal, and playful. He luvs sleepin on his back (we call it road kill style cuz that's what he looks like lol). He also uvs layin down to watch tv with me and luvs playing catch n tug o war. He has a fav toy duck and absolutely luvz treets :)

He is a bit spoiled with house food, but I make sure to give him healthy stuff like veggies :) He LUVS carrots! He's such a good boy when I leave for work... makes no noise and goes straight to sleep usually.

He totally recognizes the sound my car alarm makes when I lock it and meets me at the door and when I'm runnin a bit late he is faithfully at the window inspecting every car that passes by! I luv him :)

Precious Little Papitese - Sydnie

by Colleen & Tom
(Scottsdale, AZ )

Sydnie is the cutest, sweetest friend ever! She loves to be with us at all times. No matter how tired she is, she will keep one eye opened at all times to make sure she can follow us to another room. She LOVES all other dogs and people. No matter how big or mean the other dog is to her~ she'll jump all over him/her with excitement and playfulness. She squeals so much when we are on walks and sees others and they don't want to come over to where we are. She is 9 months old now and weighs 5 1/2 lbs.

Sydnie is very protective of us and tends to bark whenever she's hears noises outside. We are trying to work on this with her. She definitely knows when she isn't supposed to have certain things in her mouth. She tells me this by running under the bed and getting to a spot in the middle where we can't reach her. She loves to play this game. It makes us laugh as long as it isn't something that could hurt her. She loves shoes, socks and anything under the bathroom sink (she can open the cabinet door now!)

We can't imagine our life without this precious little soul. She has a heart of gold and makes us so happy and filled with joy. She has the cutest personality and loves to give kisses. We are pretty sure she thinks she is a human and not a dog. She is always jumping up and standing on her hind legs. We love it when she sits on her hind legs and rubs her paws on her cheeks.

We love little Sydnie so much!

Papitese - Roxy

by Lisa
(Clinton Township MI,)

We adopted our Papitese Roxy when she was 12 weeks old she is all white with just a little tan or her ears. we just adore her sooo much. She has such amazing personality. I just love to see her run around the house with my kids. Our Papitese just loves to be around other people and dogs but not so much big dogs.

Papitese - Cookie Dog

(Sarasota, Fl)

Cookie is a 2 1/2 year old Papitese and has absolutely been the best dog we have ever owned. She weighs approximately 7 pounds, beautiful coloring, great personality, smart, loves to retrieve, loving, has never met an enemy; what else can I say!

I had no idea what this Papillon Maltese mixture was all about; the lady that sold her to us basically said I would never go to the bathroom alone again and boy was she right! She watches over me like a hawk and remains by my side at all times.

Hyper Papitese - Cocoa

by Terra

Cocoa, our Papitese, is a very hyper dog. She loves attention and just wants to be loved.

She is easy to train. She is beautiful and we love her.

Hard to Housebreak Papitese - Tebow

by Drew
(Coral Springs, FL)

This dog is very cute and loves people but is the DUMBEST dog I've ever owned. I can not housebreak this dog to save my life. I've had dogs my whole life. Collie, lab, mutt, and now a Havanese and this Papitese. Never have I not been able to house train one of them except this cute little dummy.

I have given up and am sending him away for someone with more patience than me. I will replace him with a Havanese. Breaks my heart to do it but he's a lost cause. After my experience I'd say never, never, never get a Papitese unless you don't mind cleaning up after it for ever or walking it every 2 hours.

The place I bought him from confused me with someone else that was trying to return one of their puppies, so I now know I'm not the only one with this problem.

Papitese - Theodore aka Teddy

by Theresa
(Iowa)

We brought our Papitese pup home a few days ago and we are all in love with him. What a wonderful personality!

He is so lovable and gets along great with our other pets. They are the ones who are adjusting at the moment but he seems like he will be a fine breed to share a home with cats.

At 12 weeks, he is already trying to do tricks and it is obvious that training this intelligent boy will be easy. I notice that the adults vary in appearance but no matter what he looks like, I know he is going to be loved forever here.

Playful Papitese - Tyson

by Ben Hoffman
(Akron, Ohio, USA)

Tyson (aka Ty-bo, Ty-Ty) is a 3 year old Papitese, hails from Akron, Ohio and is a VERY smart little guy. He loves affection and is always your favorite "couch buddy".

He has a great personality and you can always tell what kind of mood he is in. He cannot seem to choose which toy he likes the best but, if he hears any of their "names", he will get that specific toy! My Papitese loves to play fetch, going for car rides with his dad and playing with his adopted sister, Sammie, also a Maltese!

Rescued Papitese - Rosie

by K A Pulsipher
(Fort Myers, Florida)

She is a wonderful Papitese we adopted through a rescue shelter. Her mother was Maltese and her father was Papillon.

She was badly abused before we got her and have had to work hard to make her feel secure. She now is able to be in public without wanting to sit on my head.

She used to get the pink stains on her face until we found she was allergic to wheat. Now she only gets them when she steals a sandwich or a piece of pizza!! However, if you tell her she is getting fat, she won't eat for a couple of days. Has to keep her Maltese driven figure!!!

Rosie and our Austrian Terrier Cami get along really well and enjoy running in the park. They play "chase each other" before bedtime every night.

We are so happy she joined our family.

Snappy Papitese - Gizmo

by Kyra Newby
(Irondale Alabama)

My Papitese dog Gizmo is a very energetics and playful dog around us however, he barks at strangers and whines all night. My friends and family all scared to death because he snaps at everyone. Plz HOW CAN I STOP THIS?

Smart Papitese - Cricket

by Lisa
(Iowa)

Our Papitese Cricket joined our family in February of 2008 as an 8 week old little fluffball. She immediately took over! She is the sweetest, smartest, and softest dog we have ever seen. She loves everyone and everyone loves her.

She is very smart! She can sit, lay, shake hands, roll over, dance, walk on her back feet, stay, and push a ball with her nose on command.

She is the perfect cuddly lap dog. She is so much fun! We can't imagine our home without her!

The Papitese is the perfect little house dog!

Sweet Papitese - Pippin Calhoun

by Mandy
(Denham Springs, LA)

My Papitese is the most beautiful, sweet and loving little boy who me and my family have enjoyed each and every day that he has been with us. Pippin's coat is light brown and white soft fur.

His personalty is so sweet and loving that even my husband has been taken in my him. He goes with us everywhere and is very well behaved. He is our little baby... the newest addition to our family.

Pippin is 5 months old and only weighs about 3lbs. He is the most adorable little guy and makes everyone who sees him smile. We take little Pippin with us every where we go and he comfortably sits in his purse kennel or on our lap.

So far we don't have any bad habits and even if he did he is so adorable we would be blind to it. I would recommend this breed to anyone who wants a lap dog who will love you unconditionally and is easy to train.

Papitese - Willie Nelson Capone

by Julie
(Watertown NY)

I met my Papitese Willie for the 1st time in Dec. of 2007. I was having a tough time of it in my life and my sister bought him as a gift for me! I was not real sure about owning a puppy, for it is a great responsibilty!

Now that he is in my life I could not imagine a day without him! He is the sweetest most loving creature that God put on this earth! He is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen!

He is now almost 6 months and spoiled rotten! We are almost done potty training, when you ask will if he wants to go pp potty he will get me my shoes and drop them at my feet! Smart as a whip!

He is like a child to me and I could not have thought it possible to love my little man more!

Papitese Princess - Padme'

by Kerry
(Iowa)

Padme' is an 11 month old Papitese and weights 12 pounds. Her dad was a Maltese and her mom was a Papillon. She is the best dog ever. Loves walks & car rides. Very good watch dog also loves our kids. She is a mommy's girl!!

Our 10 year old son named her. Padme' is Darth Vader's wife in Star Wars and since she is 1/2 Papillon & 1/2 Maltese the name fits her perfect!

Special Papitese - Millie

by Bernadette
(St Paul Minnesota)

I wish I knew for sure that my little Millie Roo Roo was a Papitese. I adopted her 2yrs ago. She was found as a stray.

I would send a picture to anyone that could help me better Identify her breed. She is so unusual and adorable... very vocal, smart, obedient... and her tongue doesn't fit in her mouth very well (hangs out at times).

I think she could be a number of breeds... Poodle, ShiTzu, Papillon, Maltese,... I love her so. I don't know how old she is... so I fear that I my time with her is limited.

I would like to figure this out, so if the unfortunate day comes when she will go to "Doggie Heaven" I will know how to find another similar to her. Can anyone help?
