We have a maltese Haley she is 3 and a morkie named Nathan who will be 2 in November. Nathan has a super sweet personality, fun, loving and always ready to play, Haley is a total lap dog. All she wants is to be held or in our laps. She doesn't care for other dogs but loves people, Nathan on the other hand loves other dogs more than people, LOL.
Haley is a barker and more easily aggitated. Nathan is more laid back.
Anyway I think it really depends on the dog but definitely go with someone that breeds for the better of the breed or a rescue. NO byb's, petshops because no telling what type of temperament, personality and health issues you would end up with.
