Here are the maltese in our family, the right is my Chloe and the other two are my mom's.
IMO they are more laid back, they are silly and sweet. I find them easier to potty train. They don't seem as eager to learn and perform tricks like yorkies do. Their coats are totally different. You will need to brush a maltese daily if they are in long coat, if you keep them short it's not bad at all. I think their prices are similar to yorkies. Things to keep in mind when looking is nice black points, a straight coat, and correct tail set. |
