About the Maltese Shih Tzu

Affectionately known as the Malshi, this pup has risen to designer dog prominence over the last 30 years. One of the most popular dog breeds in Australia, the Maltese Shih Tzu may be small, but it has grown a big reputation for being cute, loyal, and even brave!

They’re pretty versatile, too, and can fit into various living conditions and family situations. They’re very easy to please and only ask for some lap time, a decent walk, and some nutritious meals to keep them happy and thriving.

Malshis are a very in-demand pup, but should you give in to the hype and adopt one? Here’s all you need to know about this literally irresistible crossbreed pup.
