Description

The Malti-Pug is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Pug and the Maltese. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

"Litter of Malti-Pug puppies at 6 1/2 weeks old—two males and two females. Mom is a petite, 14-pound black Pug and dad is a 4-pound Maltese. Three puppies have very fluffy coats and one has a fuzzy, terrier-style coat. All were born black with white tuxedo markings. They are heavy bodied, comical and lively, more like a Pug puppy. They are unbelievably cute."
