If they are both young, it will be easy, but if one is old, or both are old, it may be harder. Shih-zus are stable and can be aggressive, while many Maltese are laid back and gentle. Many Maltese tend to take to pne person, and if you invite another dog, it may stress them out. The easiest way to do this is to put them beside you on opposite sides. Pet the new dog and let the old dog sniff at your hand, and then at the dog. IF your dog automatically rejects the new pup, don't push it. If it takes to the pup, try movin the pup neaer the older dog. Dont push it too fast though. Give it a few days and they will be playing together. This worked for my dogs =)

All dogs shed fur. Some dogs shed a lot and some not as much. It depends on the breed. But, Maltese/Shih-Tzu mixes don't shed much. You can't tell when they shed though, because their fur is so thin that it seems like nothing.
