Personality

These dogs take on the temperament of both Chinese Crested and Maltese. They are playful and cuddly little dogs.

Most Crested Malts are very affectionate and intelligent; therefore they love children and other dogs. They also like to perform tricks and are generally not barkers, but given the chance, do love to climb and dig holes.

These dogs tend to become very attached to their owners and like constant companionship. Most people find them to have an exceptionally loving and friendly personality.

Appearance

This Maltese mix comes in a wide variety of colors; either solid, mixed, or spotted. Hair type depends on the variety of Chinese Crested the Maltese is bred with.

If mixed with a Chinese Crested Powderpuff the result will be a long, fine, double coat that needs consistant brushing to prevent mats and tangles.

If mixed with a Chinese Crested Hairless dog, they will shed little to no hair and are great for allergy sufferers. Full grown Chinese Crested Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 6-12lbs.
