My Maltese Misha is much more laid back. She'll sleep in with me if I could. Piper & Max, they're up at 6 every morning ready to go, racing up & down. As for health issues, I think it depends on the dog. Misha is very healthy, as where Max is to young yet to really know. Piper our mix (maltese & yorkie) I think she will be the one that has more health issues. I also think it is because of the breeder. Misha has more staining around her eyes. Max, his eyes always water, but can't see staining because of color. If you check out maltese sites, there are alot of health issues also. So it just depends on getting a good breeder. Good luck |
