Appearance

If you like a short stocky dog with a cute underbite, then this Maltese mix might be right for you! Since Pugs come in a variety of colors, the Maltese Pug can be a combination of white, apricot, fawn, black or silver.

Hair is usually smooth and medium length. These dogs should be professionally groomed every 4 weeks to keep hair trimmed and clean.

Since Pugs are seasonally heavy shedders, this Maltese mix tend to be average shedders. Full grown Pug Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 10-18lbs.
