I love both. I would say both are equally yappy or not. My yorkie doesn't yap at all... however I have had puppies of both and you never know. My mom has one maltese... yappy ... the other silent!

There is something so special about both... it has to be you. The absolutely only 2 negatives I can find... is yorkies sometimes have a terrier smell... so they can't go long w/o baths... but maltese... never do and from the very beginning maltese hate to poop in their crates... I mean EARLY on... but maltese are much more stubborn house breakers!

That being said... my yorkie's hair is so much easier to care for than the maltese my mom and I think my yorkie just has the best personality... she is a sweet heart through and through... so... basically

6 in one hand 1/2dozen in the other!
