A Malti-Pom is a hybrid that is cross-breed of a Maltese
and a Pomeranian and may demonstrate any combination of traits from those two breeds. Hybrids have become very popular
in the past few years. They play a big role in the current designer dogs trend. The experimentation of these hybrid or designer
dogs has not been recognized by the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club. The key to cross breeding to purebred dogs
is what is called hybrid vigor, the breeding resulting in a healthier dog with superior genetic constitution can come from
dogs purebred for so long that they have common genetic disorder. The Malti-Pom is an active little dog bred from Maltese
and Pomeranian. They are great with children, friendly to animals and trainable. They like new things and are curious and
playful. They are small dogs, little enough to be carried at times. They love trips in the car and rolling in the mud. But
they are also fine with being fressed up fancey and groomed to the hilt.
