Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu / Mixed. Meet Capri — your tiny, spirited sidekick in the making! At just 2 years old and around 6 lbs, Capri is a little bundle of personality wrapped in a soft, fluffy package (Maltese/Shih Tzu mix vibes ). She may be a bit shy at first, but give her a little patience—and maybe a treat or two—and she’ll melt right into you. Once she trusts you, she becomes your “sticky rice” —always close, always loyal. Capri’s got the perfect mix of sweet and spicy : *Potty trained *Knows how to sit *Sleeps through the night *Crate trained (but doesn’t need it) * Loves toys, playtime, and other dogs *Obsessed with belly rubs, back scratches, and bully sticks *Enjoys walks and bird-watching (and maybe a little chasing too!)She’s come a long way learning about collars and leashes, and while she’s doing great on walks, she can still be a little cautious of loud noises and big vehicles. Harness time isn’t her favorite (she’s got opinions! ), and she may get a little nippy during that process—but she’s learning. Because Capri can be a bit sensitive and reserved, she would do best in a quieter home without young children where she can feel safe and blossom at her own pace. *Spayed *Microchipped * Up to date on vaccines * Recently had a vet exam *Will need regular grooming Capri is a fun, loving little dog with so much personality—and she’s just waiting for the right person to see how special she is *** Interested in giving Capri her forever home?

More About Mal-Shi Breed
Overview:
The Mal-Shi, a charming designer breed, is a delightful cross between the gentle Maltese and the affectionate Shih Tzu. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parent breeds, the Mal-Shi is typically a small, sturdy companion dog, rarely exceeding 15 pounds. Their physical characteristics often include a soft, wavy to curly, hypoallergenic-friendly coat that sheds minimally, requiring regular grooming to prevent matting. Common coat colors range from white, cream, and black to various shades of brown and brindle. Temperament-wise, Mal-Shis are renowned for being incredibly sweet, playful, and intelligent, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They thrive on human companionship and are generally excellent with children and other pets, making them a fantastic choice for families and individuals alike. Their adaptability, coupled with their moderate exercise needs, makes them well-suited for apartment living. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include respiratory issues common to brachycephalic breeds (if the Shih Tzu parent has a very flat face), patellar luxation, and eye conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for maintaining their well-being.
