I have 2 male shih tzu's cross Maltese, and was wondering how long roughly they would be my mates, I cant bear to think of the world without them in it. They are 9 years this coming November. I love them very much even though they a little devils.

According to several breed sites, Shih Tzu live 12-14 years. Maltese live 15-17 years.
Alot depends on how much they are loved, and how well they are cared for, so yours should live very long lives.

I work at a grooming shop and have had shihtzu's and Maltese's as old as 20 yrs. When I was young we had a maltese put down at 26.
