Special Maltipom - Gentle
by Annette
(Queensland, Australia)
My Maltipom is the first dog I've ever owned, and she's fantastic! I think I could of named her "faithful", for she is just that, never leaves my side, always has to have Mum in sight! She is a yapper, barks at pretty much any strange noise she hears, which can be painful at times
(especially for the neighbors).
Gentle gets on well with my children. They all adore her, except at meal times. I have warned the kids not to play or pat Gentle when eating, she can become snappy and possessive of her food (or her treats, bones etc).
Gentle is now 7 months old,and thank God shes out of that puppy stage... she drove us nuts for the first four months! She has grown up that bit more and doesn't rip everything up like she did. Gentle has the most expressive eyes, she knows everything I say and do, she's a true little friend.
I would say a Maltipom is a one person dog, although Gentle loves everyone in our family, everyone knows, it's Mum she wants!
