The Maltese Shih Tzu, also known as the Mal-Shi, Malti zu, and the Malt-Tzu, is a dog breed hybrid. One of the few “designer dogs” not originating with a Poodle, and therefore not one of the ubiquitous “Poo” or “Doodle” hybrids, the adaptable Maltese Shih Tzu is an adorable, sweet little guy with a long name.
Created with the same goal as the Doodles - to be a small companion who doesn’t shed much and is therefore more appropriate for people with allergies - the Maltese Shih Tzu is a classic cross, a sweet lapdog who likes to play with the kids.

I had one. Loveable and I loved him so much..I got my little Matthew in 2001 and he went to the doggy heaven 1 days before his 17th birthday. I miss him so much even after nearly four years. RIP my lovely Matty.😭

[@jllmskitty]

I have owned a Malshi for about 3 yrs now. Mateo is the best dog I have ever owned. He's so adorable and is naturally well-behaved. I say naturally because he has never received any training at all and is generally is well-behaved, company or no company . He's sensitve and compassionate. His personality charms everyone he meets and steals the hearts of many, even of those who don't usually like dogs. His the best companion ever!!!

[@loknut6614]

My parents have had two Maltese Shih Tzu's. One lived to be 18 years old and only started developing health problems in the last 2-3years of her life. The other we still have, he is 6 going on 7 and is still like a puppy. By far one of the best small dogs I have ever come across.

[@SleepyDrwarf]

I had one and she was the best dog I have ever had. She was extremely affectionate, quiet, and very obedient. She was just perfect.

[@shawnagunn9054]

Sweetest dog I ever had. Very much a companion dog. Still playful at 9 years old and very friendly. Quite dog but when barks it's loud.....lol. Fearless so if you live where coyotes or other prey animals exist you must keep them on leash outside. If you want a dog to be by your side , this is the right dog breed. Mine looks like Maltese and weighs about 8lbs. Juliette loves toys but we have a high murder, amputee rate !

[@LittlePawsTraining]

Thanks for it Shawna 🙂

[@AndyViant]

My boy would rip apart a soft toy every few weeks. It was a tax I was willing to pay for so much love.

[@debreynolds6643]

I rescued ny malshi 8 months ago. She is 7 and is the sweetest little dog I’ve ever had. She doesn’t bark and just wants to be loved. Her owner had to go to a nursing home and I’m sooo grateful to have her in my life.

[@sarahsolie9452]

BEST DOG EVER!!!!! i have one his name is Yogi bear and he’s about a year and a half. he’s soooo loyal and sweet and EXCELLENT with children and other animals. he’s the best best best dog i’ve ever had ever

[@LittlePawsTraining]

Glad to hear that Sarah...I hope you spend time in training him

[@mairim4578]

I just lost my Buddy,I love him and miss him more and more every day.

[@sharyneyman3806]

Love this crossbreed. Have had two of them and both have perfect personalities. Mine are easy to train but I got them from a young puppy and I was consistent. They love to travel with me everywhere. I groom and wash them myself which isn’t much for us. They’re very loyal.

[@candyparton9230]

I love my little six yr. Old Harley whom I've had since he was five wks old. He is so loving, loyal, extremely smart and very protective. I had many tiny dogs over the years and this has been my very favorite. I recommend them highly to any one thinking of getting a tiny.

[@yhvhsdaughter6435]

I have one. She has a cleft lip and she is absolutely beautiful. The cleft makes her look like she has a constant smile/grin on her face so she is the perfect positive dog as she always looks happy. She is super loyal as with most dogs of this breed, they choose their human and love them unconditionally with lots of energy, excitement and a never ending supply free kisses lol. Very popular here in Australia. She is awesome. My other dog is a Papillon and he is just as awesome. They are great together. Since bringing my Papillon home, my Maltese Shih Tzu does not cry, get lonely or get destructive from boredom.

[@somethingfunchannel5048]

They're so cute. I do have Malshi puppies and they are really adorable. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@GraveyardWarden]

I have a little girl named Izzy. She’s the best, smartest dog I’ve ever had. She’s so good and listens to me. Only problems is she has eye issues/eye boogs and has had knee dysplasia but she had t had problems for a long time luckily. She’s definitely more Maltese than shi tzu. She adorable, very smart, listens and plays still at 13.

[@desertgirl3374]

I have one. They are cuddly, sweet, loyal, friendly to all (mostly) and super super cute and soft. ETA - a little stubborn though

[@prettygirllanaa]

yes mine is very stubborn 😂

[@suebennett9347]

I have a malshi who is 5 months old who is all white. You can certainly see both maltese and shih tzu in my boy Noah and he has a big personality. We are adjusting to puppy rearing after owning a maltese and a bischon poo for many years. Our Noah is inquisitive and has never ending energy but we are loving the spirit of this lively breed❤

[@jordy9443]

My Maltese shih tzu is my little girl. Not to mention my pride and joy

[@pmscalisi]

We had a Malshi for about 6 years. He unfortunately passed due to liver disease. He was very intelligent and I swear he understood every word we ever said to him. And a sprited attitude!!😂

[@JoiciMaria]

They are so cute and lovely. Awesome video. Thanks so much👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndyViant]

I had 2 Malshi's for 17y 6mo and 17y 11 mo. Definitely looking at getting another one. No major health issues until they were 15 1/2 and 17 1/2 respectively. Incredibly friendly breed, clean, great temperament and oh so loving.

[@anncaddel2897]

We got one in December, we love her so much.We got her when she was about10 weeks old. Easy to potty train.Very jealous of other dogs.

[@joannebonin5757]

well got our Malshi Sept 9th this year and what a sweetie . A Brindle xx we love him 🤩

[@yso1260]

helooo, okay so i'm 14. i have a dog rn and it's a shih-tzu, i fell in love with this malshi breed and want to get one when i get old and have money to buy it^^

[@getlikejlan]

I got one he’s 8 and still full of energy

[@suebennett9347]

Update on our Noah... I love my Malshi❤ He is lively, lovable and smart. You have to train them properly when they are puppies and let them know who is the master of the house because they may take advantage. Our Malshi is 13months old now and he brings us such joy each day. He loves meeting people, children and other dogs which makes us happy because he brings a smile to all he greets. Definitely do get a malshi😊

[@selena0755]

I have one they are adorable, very playful they can be quite stubborn at times but that’s fine by me

Luey my Maltese Shih tzu, I am feeling like he's completed my life and although they are not in a cheap sence but he's still a little boy, and does the most random funny stuff, I have always been a fan of the bigger dog but lueys been the completion of our family

The Malshi is popular in The Netherlands, but we call it a Boomer. We have 2 Bouviers and 1 Boomer, it is great!!!

[@mayajsoriano]

Ours just turned 1 this april 17. she’s sweet, playful, but when there is a stranger she barks so loud that the visitor is afraid to come inside. My problem though is she’s a picky eater. So can you suggest what food shall I feed her. Right now we just feed her the Ready mix dogfood by Pedigree .

How to groom a Malachi?

[@julievanderleest]

Where can you groom them? I have a malshi and the groomers have never cut his hair like any of these pups.

[@AndyViant]

I always went with a "puppy clip", much easier to keep them neat that way, and increases the grooming costs from every month to every 8-12 weeks.

[@eviemillie3737]

I’m picking up my little Malshi pup in 25 days!!! Any helpful tips?

[@djrivera2219]

Tip 1: They get very jealous over any animals, if you introduce any animals during its life it might get jealous. Tip 2: They are food lovers! My Malshi will eat almost anything (except for carrots) They are very loving and last a long time my malshi is about 12 now. Tip 3: Brush them daily, they get very madded.

[@kicks3701]

I have got one but I don’t know what to tell you all I know is they get very jealous if you try and hug or talk to someone other than them and get very yappy sometimes but other than that there angel fluff balls

[@andrewcowan129]

Evie & Millie I have three they will love to play they will bark when they see people and that’s kinda it

[@cayleec5175]

Train them well, Crate Train them for easier potty training, If you want them to go with you everywhere with you like I do with mine make sure to get them use to traveling, kids, etc as a puppy. My dog is a Mal-Shih he is now 11, but everywhere tells me he is an amazingly well behaved dog and I take him everywhere with me. I made sure to train him early and crate trained by accident lol it did not take him long to learn. Also, figured out what motivated them when it come to train mine was food based so I trained him quickly with treats. I would recommended finding a good groomer too since they have to be groomer on a 4-8 weeks basis because of the fur. These types of dogs have a sensitive stomach sometimes so be careful what you feed them. Hope all of this helps and good luck to your new family member. :-D is it a female or male?

[@terrencemclaughlin3241]

keep it close to you. Some evil S.B. stole mine out of my car. About has killed my wife. That was her baby!

[@bidhupillai9130]

Is it FCI approved breed??

[@joywatkins4760]

MY LIL' MAN WAS THE SMARTEST DOG EVER.

[@antoniojomen5257]

Why is it my shih tzu puppy is fund of bitting everything he bites even my feet?

[@AndyViant]

Puppies bite a lot as they are teething and their gums hurt. Give them something to chew on. Also a dog uses it's mouth very much like we use our hands. It's a behaviour you need to train out as they have sharp little teeth.

[@jimsgirl1465]

REALLY difficult to house train.

[@stevepy6758]

Persistence & consistency. Mine picked up easily to use a mat when in his room overnight, but when out and about in the house not a lot of warning that they needed to go, but within a couple weeks he's holding just fine and usually going to the door or otherwise seeking attention when nature calls. (we take him out every 2 hours or so when he's awake, after naps, etc.) A BIG factor if they're peeing places without warning is check your floor cleaner to make sure it doesn't have Ammonia products like Benzalkonium Chloride. (I.e. Pine Clean) He uses a turf mat outside as we don't have a grass area out back.

[@AndyViant]

Never had any great problem, except when my boy was around 2 years old, and his first night there. I had to work for up to 12 hours at a time so they could be home locked inside for 14 hours. i trained them to use an indoor toilet tray and they took to it just fine.

Grooming a Maltese-Shi Tzu

[@fksunkissed]

My Lucy took more the Maltese from her mother the father shitzu

[@AndyViant]

My boy was Maltese dominant and my girl was Shih Tzu dominant. It is very rare to breed true from a cross breed which is why the Malshi isn't a recognized breed at this stage.
