In my household, my yorkies are shy and careful, and a little scared at times and hides behidn me (they KNOW they are small), whereas my maltese runs around, rolls, and CANNOT stand still even when I hold her.
I love both breeds. I think the maltese is a little more fluffy so it makes her look bigger than she is, and I think yorkies are a little slimmer. So even if they look about the same size, my maltese is a lot heavier than my yorkies. |
