Maltichon Information

The Maltichon is a hybrid dog which is a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Maltese. We've found the best way to understand what type of dog your Maltichon will be is to read both of its ancestors descriptions and understand that any combination of characteristics could be present in your pet. All of the information provided below has been added by people who are familiar with the Maltichon breed. Your Maltichon could be different so please be sure to read the Bichon Frise and Maltese descriptions to get a more educated understanding of possible characteristics.

Ask a QuestionMaltichon Q&A

I just got my Sophie 16 days ago and we love her to bits! She's a very lovable, smart dog. She was born Nov 14/09, so she's just over 14 wks old. My only thing is though is that to me she really doesn't look like other maltichon's I've seen. The lady I got her from owns the mom which is a 12 lb pure breed bichon (has papers) and her friend's dog was the dad which is a 6lb maltese. I have no reason to believe she would lie but I wonder if the maltese has something else in him. There were 6 pups born, 3 with curly hair, 3 with straight hair. Sophie has straight hair (although it goes wavy when wet) and she currently weighs about 41/2 lbs. I would love any comments/thoughts on whether she looks like a maltichon. Also, she does shed a bit right now but they could be stress or the fact that she now goes outside and its cold here so maybe getting a thicker coat?? Comments??
