Hello, I have both a Yorkie and a Maltese, My Yorkie is almost 3 months and a female she is very sweet, My maltese is 5 months and a male, he is also very sweet, when it comes to maintance i think the maltese are harder to keep up, specially because of the white coat and the eye stains they can get, my maltese started suffering from ugly eye stains but luckly i found a product that works like magic, my Yorkie tends to get little mats if a day goes by without brushing. I love both my puppies but my Yorkie seems easier to potty train also than my maltese he is a bit more stubborn. My Yorkie seems more loving maybe because she is a girl....

. Final decision.......I recommend both.
