Shih tzu puppies Malshi Puppies for sale Nationwide

Cons of owning a Malshi include their vulnerability to injury due to their small size, susceptibility to separation anxiety when left alone for long periods, and a potential to bark when lonely or anxious. They need early socialization to avoid behavioural issues and require cautious interaction to prevent injury.

Malshis generally do not bark excessively and are usually quieter than their Maltese and Shih Tzu parents. However, they may bark more if they feel lonely, bored, or anxious, so their barking behaviour largely depends on their environment and emotional state.

Malshis are small dogs, generally weighing between 5 to 12 pounds and standing around 10 inches tall. Their compact size makes them ideal as lapdogs and suitable for living in apartments or small homes.
