Well I have a Maltese girl and a Maltese cross shitzue boy and I'm telling you both of them are very funny and loving! My Maltese shitzue boy ADORES walks and follows you around till he gets one! and my maltese girl is a little lap dog that will sleep or lay next to you all day, you have to literally carry her around the house! They both get along really well and are inseparable. I would recommend a Maltese if your not a very active person, as little effort is needed to keep these dogs well exercised
Also Maltese are good dogs for apartment life. They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Also it is wise not to over-pamper or overprotect these little dogs, for some become unstable, and some may become jealous of visitors.

They are all a high maintenence dog. Takes a lot of grooming to keep them up.
I can tell about the Maltese as I have had 3 of them. They have wonderful personalities... very intelligent and can learn about 300 of our words.. with chicken being at the top of the list right behind bye bye... yep they learn spelling too... lol
GOOD LUCK

Well i have a yorkshire terrier, so she's very unpredictable.
Sometimes when she sees a new person, she'll bark her little
head off. Other times when were at the pet store she'll be quiet and calm. She'll never bite not unless the stranger is like up her butt, but it doesn't hurt, small dogs usually don't live that long.
She's usually all around good. Very smart.Female better than male. Every second week to the groomers.

I have a "silkshire terrier" which is just a yorkie silky mix. Right now shes just over 21 weeks old. She's pretty hyper because she's a puppy and a terrier. She loves people, but barks when they ring the doorbell. She's inside most of the time. She seems to be very healthy and just loves attention.

The best advice I can give you is to read books on them. I can tell you about my Shih Tuz's but what they are with me might not be to someone else..If you really want to know about these dogs you really need to read books on them.
