Male Maltese x Shih Tzu dog (Malshi) in Cork

We have a delightful Maltese x and Shih Tzu (Malshi) available for sale, now 2 years and 9 months old. This affectionate male is a lovely brown and white colour, known for his friendly disposition and great compatibility with children. Maltese crosses are typically known for their playful nature and intelligence, while Shih Tzus are recognised for their loyalty and affectionate temperament, making this crossbreed an ideal family pet.

This dog is fully house-trained, vaccinated, wormed and neutered.

He was groomed just last week, ensuring he is looking his best. Unfortunately, we are seeking a new home for him as he spends too much time alone during the day now that the children are in school.

If you are looking for a loving companion who thrives on affection, this little one could be the perfect addition to your family.
