The Maltese Shih Tzu, also known as Mal-Shi, Malti zu, or Malt-Tzu, is a mixed breed created by crossing the Maltese and Shih Tzu breeds. This hybrid aims to be a small, hypoallergenic companion with minimal shedding, much like Doodles. The Mal-Shi is a sweet lapdog that enjoys playing with children. Unlike the popular 'Poo' or 'Doodle' hybrids, this mix stands out. They are adaptable and fit well in apartments or larger homes. Even novice pet owners will appreciate their trainability and eagerness to please. If you seek a tiny, low-maintenance cuddle buddy for your family, the Maltese Shih Tzu could be the perfect choice!
