Well both the shih tzus and the Maltese are high maintenance dogs so there will be alot of cleaning and grooming involved in them both. the Maltese are a little more of a hassle with there coats since they are all white yet they are alot less active then the shih's. Maltese are more lapdogs and always want to be with you in your lap and so. while a shih's are more active and playful and would rather be on the floor playing then in your arms. Maltese are also a bit smaller. they get at the most up to 10 lbs while a shihtzu can get up to 18. but in the long run they are both great dogs and it would be up to you . either way good luck

Maltese all the way, love all dogs but since been walking one regularly with our business, fell in love with him, great little dog !!
I tell you though a maltese x shih tzu is a very popular little dog also would be another idea.

I have known both breeds, and that is a VERY HARD question to answer. Both are great little dogs! Maltese are smaller,but they bark more. Shih-Tzus don't shed like most dogs,but you have to comb them almost every day. Either way, you win!

I have a Maltese and I wouldn't have anything else. I love his personality. They are almost human. He has "hair" not fur. It is silky and soft. He doesn't shed. He loves everyone and every animal. But he still thinks he is a watch dog too and barks when he sees someone outside or coming into the house.
He is just a pleasure to be around. They don't require a lot of exercise, which is great. He is happy watching T.V. or laying on my lap when I read....They are not at all hyper. He likes a walk once in awhile, but that is as physical as he gets.

Shih Tzus are adorable, loyal, territorial, and all things wonderful.. They are demanding--they want attention all the time. I rescued one from a puppy mill a week ago and she is trying to take over my house. Of course, my cocker spaniel isn't about to let that happen!

I had a shih tzu and she was the best dog ever. Very loyal, protective, smart (went down slides, rode a skateboard) and super cute. =]
its your decision though, look up both breeds and decide which one fits you better.
Enjoy

I like shitzus better. There cute easy to train and love to be a pet. They also get so happy when you come home and or someone they been around. I love my friends dogs who have shitzus they seem like a amazing dog.
