Pekingese Maltese - Zoe Belle

Our diva Zoe @ 4 mos. old

Her dad is Pekingese and her mom is Maltese. Her mother almost died when she was born due to calcium deficiency and was hand raised by my friend whom I got her from from a week on. We love her to pieces and she may be a bit spoiled. She gets along with her brother great he is a Pekingese Shih Tzu mix. She has the softest fur I have ever touched and she hops like a rabbit as well. She doesn't have much of the Pekingese in her except her feet maybe. Right now she weighs 5.7 lbs and is 4 mos. old (born 6-17-09), she will probably not get very much bigger.

She is a feisty little girl but very loving and loyal. She does have some potty training issues which we are working on and chewing and some separation anxiety issues as well. But they are not very bad and she is young so she is learning. She is super smart and can sit, stay, get the toy, learned how to use steps to get on the couch and understands "bad girl". She is so tiny but eats alot. She is okay when you bathe/groom her and doesn't have very much of the eye staining like some and likes to go ride in the car. I have never had house dogs before and they are both great breeds. She prances on her back feet alot to get attention or treats. I can't even stay mad at her for long once I look in her eyes. She is my baby. And I have 3 kids even.

I would recommend a Pekingese Maltese to anyone who wants a small dog, even though she is a little high maintenance/spoiled. (:
