Malamaltese

The Malamaltese is a charming, sturdy little companion with a plush, fluffy outline and a surprisingly confident presence. It tends to be affectionate and social like the Maltese, but with a more athletic, outdoorsy streak and a thicker coat and frame influenced by the Alaskan Malamute. Most are playful, people-oriented, and eager to be involved in family life, though they usually need regular grooming and moderate exercise to stay happiest.
