Appearance

Cockers come in many colors such as black, tan, white, and brown. When you mix this with a white Maltese, you get varying shades and patches of color.

Cocker Maltese mixes hair is usually long and silky. These dogs should be professionally groomed every 3-4 months and brushed daily to keep hair trimmed and clean.

They may also be nonshedding dogs like a Maltese or be an average shedder like a Cocker Spaniel. There is no guarantee of which. Full grown Cocker Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 12-25lbs.
