Maltese ShihTzu
These dogs are gutsy, gregarious and outgoing and are excellent with any age group. Like any breed, they need to be socialised and treated like a dog, rather than a baby. The Maltese can be highly strung and snappy but crossing them with the aloof Shih Tzu produces a dog that is friendly and outgoing and good with people. Size: Maltese ShihTzu range between 8-10 inches (21-25cm.) and weigh around 6½-9 pounds (3-4kg.).

The Maltese x Shih Tzu is a small dog with an abundant coat. It may resemble either of the parent breeds but usually does not have the short nose and boggle eyes of the Shih Tzu. Where the pure Maltese is prone to tear staining, the stains don't show up quite so much in the cross breed.
