Breed Information

Overview

The Maltese Mix is not a purebred dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed.

A Maltese Mix is a cross between a Maltese and another dog breed. Because a mixed breed can inherit any combination of traits from their parents, it’s important to ask the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix.

Should a Maltese Mix take after their Maltese parent, they will be an affectionate and cuddly companion that thrives on attention from their favorite human.

Temperament

The Maltese is known as one of the most affectionate dog breeds. They tend to be incredibly cuddly, friendly, and loving. Although they can be initially reserved around strangers, they tend to warm up quickly. They also tend to get along well with children, other pets, and other dogs. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, you should be able to expect the same from a Maltese Mix. The other parent breed will introduce their own quirks, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like. The breeder should have started some socialization and training. However, it is important to remember that it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home to help them grow into a well-rounded dog.
