I think malteses are healthier and even have a longer lifespam compared to shih tzus living in the same conditions. This is one of the reasons why I chose a Maltese but if you really like shih tzus I can tell you that my neighbour's girl is already 9 years old and really healthy and playful, so always your care is important. Hope this helps.
My shih tzu lived a very healthy life to 17 and a half years old he was born 92 he just died this year. so i don't know what you saying about them not living long lives. he was tied as the oldest dog ive seen in his pet commentary

What do you call a Maltese shih tzu mix?
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

Dog that is a cross between a shih tzu and a Maltese Is it normal for a dogs bottom jaw to be a able to move without much force Does not seem to bother the dog?
Sure, either a shih tzu or a Maltese should be able to wobble their bottom jaw all over the place. It's heriditary.

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.
