Maltese Lhasa Mix - Lhatese

AKA: Lhasa Maltese Hybrid Dogs

Lhatese Mix Puppy - SophieLhatese Mix Puppy - Sophie

The Maltese Lhasa mix, or Lhatese, is a cross between a Lhasa Apso 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 Lhatese owners, these dogs are a loyal, little Maltese mix that is growing in popularity because of their high intelligence and lively personality. 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)!

Maltese Lhasa Personality

These dogs take on the temperament of both Lhasa Apsos and Maltese. They are spirited and devoted little dogs.

  • Highly intelligent
  • Easy to train
  • Very obedient
  • Thrive on good, motivational training
  • Have excellent hearing 
  • Make good watchdogs

They tend to want to protect their owners, so it is best to watch them when around small children and other dogs. Most people find Lhasa Maltese puppies to have a friendly yet assertive personality.

This Maltese mix can come in a wide variety of colors, but is usually gold, cream, or honey mixed with white and is sometimes brown or black. 

Hair is usually long and heavy with a double coat. These dogs should be brushed once a day to keep their coats from matting.

Some shed lightly, while others do not shed at all and are hypoallergenic. Full grown Maltese Lhasa Apso dogs can weigh anywhere from 8-13lbs.
