Smart Maltipom - Triscuit

(Orlando)

My Maltipom is the most loving and expressive dog I have ever come across. Triscuit really is quite the people pleaser and is her happiest when all eyes and focus are on her.

She loves to snuggle in bed, and is friendly with other dogs. She is weary of big dogs and will cry if one comes bouncing up to play, but can handle herself with small to medium sized dogs. Triscuit is not much of a barker either, but she will whine at you to get your attention at what she wants.

She is now 10 months old and is well trained in my opinion. She can shake hands, play dead, speak and knows key phrases like "walk", "it's time to go to bed", "ride", "food", etc. Due to the small size she is extremely portable, easy to carry around, and most importantly easy to clean.

Beware of the fine hair these little dogs possess. You really do have to groom daily or terrible knots do occur. Maltipoms are extremely smart and aren't afraid to ask for some affection. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
