Maltese Schnauzer Mix - Mauzer

AKA: Maltese Miniature Schnauzer Mix

The Maltese Schnauzer mix, or Mauzer, is a cross between a Miniature Schnauzer and a Maltese.

They are an intelligent, perky Maltese mix that is growing in popularity because of their loving and energetic personality.

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)!

This Maltese mix is usually black, white, silver or a combination of these three colors.

Hair is usually short and wiry. Maltese Schnauzer dogs should be brushed daily and be professionally groomed every 6-8 weeks to keep hair trimmed, clean, and free of mats. 


They shed little or no hair and most are hypoallergenic. Full grown Schnauzer Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 8-15lbs.
