Maltese Shih Tzu – Mickleham

1 Maltese puppy , 4 months old - white in color . Already pet trained and fully vaccined. No medical issues, healthy pup male. I have a child with disabilities, and he didn’t get along well with him. We bought the Maltese puppy for compassionate and engagement reasons for our son's welfare, but sadly, he didn’t get along well with the puppy. We thought it could help our sons to feel less lonely and to have someone to play with. It’s disheartening as parents to see our child struggling to get along with the pup. That's why we decided to let go of the puppy to give it away to someone who can care for it  and provide it with the love it needed.

Maltese Shih Tzu – Banksia Beach

Mocha was rescued from the pound. She has experienced mistreatment and is anxious, and therefore, she needs individual attention and, most importantly, love. She is only 6 years old, already vet checked, and has been vaccinated. But sadly, we already have 2 dogs on our own , and we couldn’t bear to see her destroyed. She loves long walks in the morning and enjoys a run on the beachfront. As much as we would like to take care of her, we can’t manage to look after her cause of our own pets. I am looking for a loving and caring forever home for her. If anyone is interested, kindly email us.

Maltese Shih Tzu – Glanville

A 2-year-old male named Zeus. Very friendly and fun-loving, great around with kids and other animals too. Lovely by nature. He prefers to stay indoors but will be happy to go outside for short periods. Likes to have short walks and cuddle on the couch. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, but not desexed, because we were planning to breed him. Unfortunately, we have reached the difficult decision to find a new home for him. We need to rehome him as we don't have enough time for him, and we hope to find a loving and caring family who can give him the attention he deserves.

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 colours and may have markings on the body and ears.

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 as long as they have all their needs. 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.

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.
