| Looking for a playmate for Lulu... Anyone have a Maltese? I have found a sweet little girl who is just around the same size as Lulu and the owner says she has a sweet, loving disposition. I hope it is ok to put this here as I am inquiring about a breed other than a Yorkie. Also, I have heard debates on whether you should have female/ male...female/ female. What do you think? I would think it would depend on the temperaments of the furbabies not on their gender but hey, what do I know?!

| I had a Maltese, for 10 years, before getting my first Yorkie. Maltese are very nice. Generally, a male female combo are more likely to get along than two females. However, the latter depends on the dog themselves.

| Hey Bill- not trying to hijack this thread but what made you get a yorkie after having a maltese before? Just wondering since I've always wanted one but never have been around any.

It's been a while. Star, our Maltese, passed away at 10 years of age. So, my wife didn't want another Maltese, because it would remind her of Star. Maltese are a lot like Yorkies, except for coloring. The only downside to a Maltese are the tear stains. Bill

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | I have a Yorkie, Misty, she's almost 3 years old and I just got a Maltese, her name is Cassie and is 4 months old. I have noticed that Cassie is just a bit wilder than Misty. I also have a 13 yr old English Cocker Spaniel, Mazie. Cassie really irritates the other two dogs. Even to the point that Misty got mad enough to actually grab Cassie's leg in her mouth. I keep all the dogs with me so if I see a problem in the making, I step in. I love all three of my babies.
