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 =)

Shih tzu in general are not barkers. I'm not familiar with Maltese, but my shih tzu X Maltese is very much like a shih tzu. Not a barker at all. As a matter of fact, as a puppy, she barely made a sound at all. Even these days, when excited, she mostly runs around and wags her tail.
Short nose breeds tend to get hair that gets into the nostrils which causes them to sneeze. But you maltese X shih tzu could have certain allergies or maybe even the flu.
It depends on what personality it has.
Hey, You don't have to have a fancy name for a Maltese Shih Tzu mix... Most of the time breeders refer to them as a; Maltese Shih Tzu If you really want to, you can shorten the two names to come up with something like; Maltzu, or Maltshih... I would go with Maltese Shih Tzu as it is a more well-known name... But it is your choice... Hope this helps ;) when i got my dog from a long island breeder she called her a shi-malt
Maltese have longer hair then Shitzu,s and they are white Maltese but Shitzu,s can be brown.
She is most likely a Maltese, though she may be a shih-tzu.
Sure, either a shih tzu or a Maltese should be able to wobble their bottom jaw all over the place. It's heriditary.
None, a Shih-tzu is a Shih-tzu. But it can be mixed with other dogs.
The Shih Tzu
The correct spelling is "Shih Tzu".
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.
