Do Maltichons Bark?
It is possible that Maltichons will inherit the alert barking trait from the Bichon Frise. This means that they are more likely to bark to alert their owner to strange noises, especially when the doorbell rings. We strongly recommend you discourage any trait you do not like from little on.
The Maltichon will likely inherit the low shed coat of both the Bichon Frise and the Maltese.
This makes them slightly lower maintenance in terms of regular brushing requirements though it is still important to brush their coat at least once a week.
