Appearance
The Maltese Shih Tzu is a small dog, typically weighing between 4 and 10 pounds. They have a long, silky coat that can be white, black, or a combination of both colors. Their ears are large and floppy, and their eyes are dark and expressive.
Maltese Shih Tzus are often mistaken for Maltese or Shih Tzus, but they are actually a unique breed. They have a more athletic build than Maltese, and their coat is longer and silkier than Shih Tzus.
Temperament
The Maltese Shih Tzu is a gentle, affectionate, and playful dog. They are great with children and other pets, and they make excellent companions for both families and individuals.
Maltese Shih Tzus are intelligent and easy to train, but they can be stubborn at times. They are also prone to separation anxiety, so it is important to provide them with plenty of attention and exercise.
Care
The Maltese Shih Tzu is a relatively easy dog to care for. They require regular brushing and bathing, and they should be taken for a walk or run every day.
Maltese Shih Tzus are prone to a few health problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, and patellar luxation. It is important to take your dog to the vet for regular checkups to ensure that they are healthy.
Costs
The cost of a Maltese Shih Tzu can vary depending on the breeder, the dog's age, and the dog's health. The average cost of a Maltese Shih Tzu puppy is between $500 and $1,500.
In addition to the initial cost of the dog, you will also need to factor in the cost of food, vet care, and grooming. The average monthly cost of caring for a Maltese Shih Tzu is between $50 and $100.
Feeding
The Maltese Shih Tzu is a small dog, so they do not require a lot of food. A good quality dry kibble is a good option for this breed. You should feed your dog 1/2 to 1 cup of food per day, divided into two meals.
It is important to avoid feeding your dog table scraps, as this can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
Grooming
The Maltese Shih Tzu has a long, silky coat that requires regular brushing and bathing. You should brush your dog's coat at least three times per week to prevent mats and tangles.
You should also bathe your dog every two to three weeks. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner, and be sure to rinse your dog thoroughly.
The Maltese Shih Tzu is a wonderful companion for families and individuals alike. They are gentle, affectionate, and playful, and they are relatively easy to care for. If you are looking for a small dog that will make a great addition to your family, the Maltese Shih Tzu is a perfect choice.
