Hi Betsi,
I have an almost 3 year old maltese & love her to pieces. I don't think you could go wrong there. She is really like a baby. She follows me everywhere, sits on my lap whenever I am sitting & was great at potty training. She is a real sweetheart! Grooming does take a good bit of time but I have found that maltese don't have a dog odor, which is great.
I don't have advice on yorkies, as I am on here to learn about them & hopefully add one to my family someday soon. I simply love the look of the yorkies with their perky little ears! & if I find out they can be just as sweet as my maltese I'm probably going to get a yorkie. It seems that what I am finding out is to find a good breeder who can pick out a pup (whether its a yorkie or a maltese) & find one with the personality that matches what you want! Good Luck! |
