About Malshis
Loving, loyal, and full of life, the Malshi is a wonderful breed to have in your family. These first-generation hybrids are a cross between the purebred Maltese and purebred Shih Tzu. Thanks to their lineage, they could acquire a number of traits. The Malshi is a super friendly breed that loves to spend the day by their human’s side.
They are affectionate companions that love to play. Because they are so small, they do better with older kids and adults. They can be energetic, so a day filled with playing and naps would be a great day for a Malshi.
Origin of the Malshi
The Malshi was originally bred in Australia back in the 1990s with the goal of being a companion dog that is low-shedding and hypoallergenic. Due to their friendly nature and lack of allergic flare-ups, they’ve become a favorite companion both down under and in the United States.
