Malshi Puppies for sale in Gravesend, Kent

1 Malshi Puppies for sale in Gravesend, Kent

The Malshi is the result of crossing two purebred dogs, namely the Maltese and the Shih Tzu. They were developed in the United States due to the demand for dogs with low hair growth, and the cross proved so successful that their popularity grew and grew, and not just among allergy sufferers. Malshis can inherit the appearance and personality of both parent breeds, although it should be noted that each dog is different. When it comes to appearance and coat, puppies from the same litter can look quite different, with most Malshis boasting a white coat, though some have colour combinations.

FAQs

Are Malshis good family dogs?

Malshis are affectionate, intelligent, and adaptable dogs that make great companions for families and individuals. They do well in apartments and smaller living spaces with regular daily walks and playtime. However, due to their small size, they require gentle handling and may not be ideal for households with very young children.

What are the cons of owning a Malshi?

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.

Do Malshis bark a lot?

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.

How big do Malshis get?

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.
