We have both as well, Yorkie male and female maltese. We have had chelsey for one month now and she is a sweet heart. There is a lot of grooming involed but so far I bush her twice a week but again that is because of the shampoo we use. If not I would have to brush her everyday. They are very pron to matting more then yorkies . My first maltese I had to brush her everyday. If I missed it we would have to give her a not so nice trim.
"My maltese is more difficult, he barks more , is aggressive, grooming a maltese is a major commitment..much more so that grooming a yorkie. Maltese are know for being sweet natured but mine is not...he's a one person dog"
LoL, I think we have the opposite, Chester barks a lot and is very hypper but he is still sweet . The barking drives me up the wall. latly he has been getting a bit better. Maybe because of chelsey who knows. Malese are a lot of work if they run loose in the rain there coat holds a lot more water and you better dry them off quick as well as brush right away or you will have a big problem on your hand with matts. Chelsey is sweet as an angel an does not bark at all or not yet.... cross fingers |
