I have a wonderful 10 month old maltipoo, Tina. She must have all of the wonderful qualties of both dogs. I know this isn't helping you, but I get a chance to brag about Tina.

I have read a lot about Maltese. They are wonderful with everyone (very social,) do not shed, need a lot of grooming, are very intelligent, think they are little watch dogs for their human parents.

Tina has poodle hair, curly and thick, not silkey like a maltese, except her beautiful tail. I keep her in a puppy cut with her ears in a straight bob. She hates for the groomer to put ribbons with those pulling rubber bands in her hairdo. So I take them out as soon as I take pictures.

She is very independent when she knows my husband and I are home on the weekends and at night after work. She sleeps at the end of our bed on her little chenille pillow. My miniature white Schnauzer curls up in my curl at night.

She likes to always be in the same room as either my husband or myself unless she goes out her door to run and play with Buddy.

She thinks Buddy is silly for barking so much. Tina will come up to me and lick my foot or whine a little with her tail wagging that is time for kisses, a back scratch and hugging. If I am too caught up in what I am doing, she lets out a little bark "Don't you hear me, Mommy?" She is a little person, basically. Her tail is alway wagging. Buddy is way to serious. It takes a lot for him to wag his tail. I will brag about him when someone asks about a purebred minature schnauzer.

I dont' have a full blooded maltese either . Snuggles mom was pure bred pekingnese and his dad was pure bred Maltese. Both were winners in dog shows and were very tiny for there bree
d. His dad weighs 4 pds. and his mom weighs 4 1/2 so we expect him to be very small. He looks maltese except his legs are real short and his hair is cream in stead of white. Other then that if you didn't know you couldn't tell he had any peke in him.
I did alot of research before I got him on maltese too so this is what i know. Most of them are very small like under 7 pds. They require brushing every day. Its common for them to have tear staining. They are very smart and loving dogs. They will bark and let you know when someone is there but they are yappy dogs like poms or poodles. REmember I said good watchdogs not good guarddogs. When someone comes in they will bark and then lick them to death. They love everyone ! Well hope that helps. Just a word of advice if you get one paper train and outside train. They can't get cold and damp so they need an alternative in bad weather. I am using puppy pads on bad days.

Hello...
I'm a new owner of a bichon maltese. Miko has been at home for two nights now and I can't seem to paper train him.
Miko's been good last night though because he stayed on his bed and didn't cry too much like the first night.
Can someone please advise me on how to paper train a maltese?

Thank you very much!

Hi. I have a purebred maltese. He's really spunky! He's 5 months old and neutered. He tends to cop an attitude when we tell him 'bad boy' after doing something rotten. Ha ha. However, he does have a very sweet side. He likes to play in my hair and lay on my back like a little baby. He's pretty spoiled. He tends to have a little seperation anxiety when I leave for work, so we are looking to get him a little friend to play with. Oh and he barks A LOT! It's probably the only downside to him. He barks so much, and it's a loud hipitched bark too. So we bought a sonar device that sets off any time he barks and sends a sound that only he can hear. So we'll see if that works. A lot of it is probably puppy stuff. I have really cute pictures of him if you want to see. I have a book on maltese and it says the ideal weight is 5-7lbs, but ours is already 8lbs at 5 months old and he isnt fat, he is just built a little longer.

Maltese Terriers are real little characters! We had a male named Casper for years until he died from a tick. They are great with children if they grow up around them from puppyhood, I wouldn't get an adult if you have children as they can be snappy. They are very easily trained with great little personalities. They can tend to think they are "top dog" of the family so some obedience training would help. We taught Casper to "talk" to us by asking him questions and repeating them until he understood that we wanted him to reply! It sounded so funny!

I hope you choose one of these little guys as they are bundles of joy to own! Good luck in choosing your pup and remember only buy from a responsible breeder.

BTW, they love to go for walks but are just as comfortable being lap dogs. In other words they are versatile little dogs!
