Question

Ummm its a small dog i think it might be a maltese what do you think?

Answer 1

It looks like a s**+-tzu maltese mix maybe.  Definitely a cutie!

Answer 2

The body and fur look like a shih tzu, but the face does not.... I can't think of what it could be mixed with though. Just tell anyone who asks, it's a shih tzu mix!

Answer 3

What a cutie!  Maltese are generally a snowy white all over the body - they are technically allowed a lemony color on the ears only, but that is not desirable.

Your pup looks more like a Lhasa Apso cross or perhaps a Maltipoo (maltese + miniature poodle), but I wouldn't say Shih Tzu - their eyes are more like Pug or Boston terrier eyes and their muzzle is shorter.

Here's a purebred Lhasa pup:

Here are some Maltipoo pups:

The only thing is, most Maltipoos (which are not a recognized breed, by the way) tend to have the tighter curls of the poodle, rather than the more flowy hair of the Maltese, which is what your dog exhibits.

Your puppy is stinkin' cute, though!

Addition:

Good idea, I forgot about the Havanese!  Possible - they do allow more coloration in the coat:

Answer 4

Lhasa Apso

Answer 5

Its a shih tzu

Answer 6

Oh how cute and adorable, just want to hug and kiss him.  He is probably a maltese mix, maltese are all white since he is brown also he's definitely mixed.  But oh so freaking cute.

Answer 7

It's a mixed breed.

Uhh..Shih Tzu X Bichon Frise would be my guess - but is that nose red? Both breeds should have black noses. Maybe a Havanese mix.

Answer 8

it's a shih Tzu

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

It is a Bichon Frise Shitzu mix.

Answer 12

shih tzu defiantly

Answer 13

shih tzu anda maltese mix  i tink

Answer 14

It's a Maltese, possibly with a mix of Llaso or Shih-Tzu.  That's the type of dog I've been wanting.  Maltese dogs make great house pets and are very gentle.  They do bark to try and protect you because they think they are a lot bigger than they are.
