Do Maltese Chihuahuas shed?

What is a Malchi poo?

Malshipoo puppies are specialty designer dogs. They’re a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Maltese. Also known as the Malshi or Mal-Shi, they’re commonly considered to be hypo-allergenic, as well as non-shedding. As such, they adapt well to apartment living or full-time indoor living.

Are Chihuahua mixes aggressive?

Although a Chihuahua may not be as dangerous as a larger dog, a Chihuahua is still capable of biting and causing damage, especially to a child or older person. Chihuahuas are prone to acting aggressively for the same reasons any dog may behave aggressively, due to anxiety, territorial behavior, or to show dominance.

How much does a Shih Tzu Maltese cost?

A Maltese Shih Tzu can set you back anywhere between $400-$800 per puppy. This is not as much as some Toy dog cross breeds, but because this pup is still a designer breed, it is quite expensive. If this is too far out of your price range, you can always check your local shelter.

Can a Maltese Shih Tzu be left alone?

He’s an affectionate companion who loves being with his family. He’s not recommended for homes where he’d be left alone for long periods at a time, since he can suffer from separation anxiety, like most companion breeds. The Maltese Shih Tzu can be active, but he can also adapt to quieter living.
