Bichon Maltese Mix - Maltichon

AKA: Maltese Bichon Frise Mix

Bichon Maltese - FinniganBichon Maltese - Finnigan

The Bichon Maltese mix, also called a Maltichon, is a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Maltese.

These mixed breed dogs are often given specific names, but keep in mind that they are not a separate dog breed.

According to Maltichon owners, these dogs are very affectionate and look like fluffy, white cotton balls. Read more about this Maltese mix below.

Please do not purchase these dogs from a breeder. There is no need to create more mutts when plenty are available for adoption. If you discover a Maltese mix that would fit well with your family, you can easily adopt one at a Maltese Dog Rescue instead (and for a lot less money)!

If you like a little white puffball, than this Maltese mix might be right for you! Since both the Bichon Frise and the Maltese are white, this hybrid dog is also always white.

Hair is usually soft, fine, and loosely curled. These dogs should be professionally groomed every 4 weeks to keep hair trimmed and clean.

They are also non-shedding and most are hypoallergenic. Full grown Bichon Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 6-15lbs.
