Shitzu Mix - Tristan Michael Fluffinutter

My Maltese Shitzu mix Tristan was sent to Animal Care and Control on November 11, 2008. His "owner" said they couldn't trust him and maybe he's sick. I had just lost my Schnoodle on October 15. He was yet another pound adoption.
My husband walked in the door with what looked like a matted mop. He also smelled like a doggie outhouse. His hair was matted almost to the skin, his hair was in his face, he could not see thru it, and he stunk to the stars! After one eye's view was opened by extensive trimming, he acctually almost quit snapping. We were up until 2AM grooming him. I fell in love the first night and he has only gotten better! My Maltese Shitzu mix is the most precious dog in the world. The other day I was ready to leave so my husband reached for him and he acctually shifted his weight into me so my husband would not take him! It was so cute.
He is about one year and seven months and has endeared himself to EVERYONE in my family, and many in my husband's also. The previous "owner" only needed to spend time with him, bathe, FEED,and PET him. He is amazing and they lost out!!!!!
He performs a number of tasks:
opens cage
shuts cage
gives 5
prays
sits cute
sits pretty
chirps
chooses hand with treat
pushes soccer ball with person (back and forth)
puts his paw on my mouth to "tell mommy ssssshhhh"
mouths when "you're in trouble"
"vicious"
dance
walk
But the most important is the love he gives us and we give in return.
I dare say my Shitzu Maltese mix is THE most amazingly perfect little dog for us. And, yes, he does have that little bit of "I not pway wifs you no moe" attitude when he gets "mad" at us.
Shitzu Mix - Coco

My baby Coco
Omg my Maltese Shitzu mix is literally my baby and my best friend. My mom and I laugh at how much of a human-like baby she is. She let's me sit her on my knee and pat her on her back as if I'm really burping her. When she knows I'm about to leave she'll run for the door stand up and put her arms up for me to carry her and take her with me. she sleeps with me on my bed every night and has to feel me in order to go to sleep. I say she's my best friend because she'll change her mood to whatever mood I'm in if I'm hyper and want to be playful she's running around like a maniac with me. Or when im sad and down its like her world just ended and shell lay right in front of my face very sad and cry. She's grown on me as my real baby and I don't know what I would do with out her. If your looking for a loveable best friend to cuddle with a Malshi is perfect.
Shitzu Mix - Pookey

We've had our little guy for two weeks now. Our Maltese Shitzu mix is about 10 week sold. Looks like a Maltese. This dog has no fear.
We also have a 15 pound 1 1/2 yr old Pug female and they just love to play with each other. Pookey will try to jump on my pugs back and both these breeds seem to like being chased. They will take turns chasing each other for the same toy. But they have no interest in the toy just the chase.
My daughter and Husband just love him to death. he is very good with the pee pads (as it gets very cold and the snow gets very deep I don't want him going outside right now.) I just wish he would stop tearing them up (laugh). I wish we had a dozen more of these little guys.
