We have a 2 pound yorkie and our yorkipoo is supposed to only get to be about 5-6 pounds but I think she's going to be bigger- she's already 3 pounds at 12 weeks. But let me tell you- my 2 pound yorkie likes our 40 lb spaniel mutt 100% better than the new puppy her own size!! I personally think the smaller dogs like the bigger ones to cuddle with- more warmth! Anyway I would say that the maltese's size is probably not a problem at all- esp if he/she has a good personality. Good luck! |
