I have both a maltese and a yorkie.. Lucy my maltese is a barker and always has been.. her personality is more like a jack russel and we do have tear stain issues. Grooming is no different then my yorkie.. She doesnt matt any easier but I do brush them regularly.Other then the barking she is well behaved... Does not need to have a leash on yo go out in the yard with me, shes very smart.. I dont know if her personality is common for a Maltese or not.. But I love both breeds.. |
