Maltese Shih Tzu – Riverhills

Last puppy Casper is looking for his forever home! His birthday is on the 3 April 2024, is fully-vaccinated and microchipped. Casper is: - Handsome and sweet boy - Lapdog - Extremely cuddly - Loves sleeping - Loves belly rubs He is trained from a young age for: - Basic puppy training such as toilet-training, sit (perfected), come, walking on a lead - Socialised — friendly with dogs, cats and children - Exposed to desensitisation noises such as dog barking, vacuums, hairdryers, knocking etc. A bit about me: I'm a vet nurse and a casual dog breeder, and my goal is to breed well-adjusted, trained, healthy puppies and find responsible owners for them. I provide life-long support for my past clients and am registered with RPBA and RightPaw. Only reason why I became a breeder is because of how smart and amazing Bunny is, but being casual and only having two litters makes it difficult to advertise. Past clients are all greatly satisfied with my puppies and can provide on request. Minimal negotiation as the price is an indication to me that you are financially capable of caring for a new family member that comes with a long-term financial burden. It is also showing the result of the 24/7 amount of work done to raise and train them to be good dogs. Part of the payment goes to a charity of your choice. Parents Both parents have been DNA-tested and have amazing personalities. Dad is a pure-breed Maltese about 5kg, is caring and calm while Bunny (mine) is a Maltese X, about 5kg as well, and is spunky, sociable and super smart. This is Bunny's second and last litter. More videos and photos of them growing up on Bunny's Instagram @dothebunnyhops or their facebook page "Do the Bunny Hops".

The Ultimate Maltese Shih Tzu Guide

About Maltese Shih Tzu

Also known as Mal-Shi or Malt-Tzu, this hybrid is a sweet dog that easily makes friends. He enjoys meeting new people and will walk up to anyone he sees. He is good with strangers because socialising is his favourite thing to do.

He may look like either one of his parents but is unlikely to get the Shih Tzu’s protruding eyes and tiny nose. He can sport a combination of colors and may have markings on the body and ears.

Lifespan

Lifespan

12 to 14 years

Weight

Weight

Height

Six to 10 inches tall

Grooming

Grooming

Brush your pup three to four times a week as his coat is prone to tangling. Bathe him regularly to keep his coat soft and silky. Clip his nails every six to nine weeks.

Origins

Maltese Shih Tzus originated from the Mediterranean Maltese and the Asian Shih Tzu. The very first of their kind was bred in the 1900s in the United States to create a dog that did not shed a lot.

Because they are a hybrid, they are not recognised by any kennel club.

Key Characteristics Of Maltese Shih Tzus

Are Maltese Shih Tzus Family-Friendly?

The well-rounded temperament of the Maltese Shih Tzu makes him a wonderful family pet. He is loyal and good with people of all ages. He also thrives in homes with many pets, regardless of species.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Maltese Shih Tzus may suffer from:

Eye anomalies

Brachycephalic airway syndrome

Hypothyroidism

Hip dysplasia

Intervertebral disc disease

Nature / Temperament

Fun, loving, energetic, and active

Suitable Environment

Maltese Shih Tzus are adaptable pups so they can thrive in any environment. They can be reserved in a quiet home and also be active in a high-energy one. They are suitable for both country and city living.

While they do well living in apartments, they do much better in homes with a yard to run around in. Maltese Shih Tzu puppies love the outdoors and spending lots of time playing outside.

Because of their Shih Tzu genes, these pups are likely to suffer from respiratory problems. It is best to not let your pup stay outside too long when it’s hot or humid. He is safer in an air-conditioned home.

Other Considerations

  1. While they don’t always bark, they will alert back when they feel an intruder is nearby. They can make good watchdogs.
  2. They may make great apartment residents, but they are happiest outdoors.
  3. Always keep the area around their eyes clean as they tend to stain.

How can I take good care of my Maltese Shih Tzu?

Nutrition

These dogs don’t need much food because of their small size. They need only ¼ to ½ cup of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. Their ideal diet consists of protein, healthy fats, and vegetables packed with vitamins and minerals.

Maltese Shih Tzu puppies should be fed 55 calories per pound of body weight, while adults should be fed 45 calories per pound.

Grooming

While low shedders, Maltese Shih Tzus require daily brushing to free their coats of mats. Their coat should be trimmed every six to eight weeks.

Tear stains are a common problem in these dogs. To keep your pup’s face clean, wipe it with a damp cloth twice or thrice a day.

Exercise

Maltese Shih Tzu puppies need at least 15 minutes of exercise daily. They love being outdoors, so take them for a walk or play fetch with them.

Training

Maltese Shih Tzu puppies are smart so they can easily be trained. Training may take just a week or two. For older dogs, training may take up to six weeks.

These pups can be sensitive so use praises or a reward-based method. Avoid punishment and yelling.

This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.

Most Asked Maltese Shih Tzu Questions

These dogs are a mixed breed, so each one is unique. Normally, they have markings around their eyes as well as on the body and ears.

Their coat comes in a variety of colours including white, brown, red, silver, and black. Generally, their coat is long and silky.

No, they don’t. But while they are low shedders, they still need daily grooming to keep their coats free of mats.

The average price of a Maltese Shih Tzu for sale typically costs between AUD $500 and $4,000 depending on the breeder.
