Our female shih tzu and male chihauhua had pups and they each weighed 6-8 oz.
It's best to cross with a breed that is similar in size and stature to the Maltese. For example, a toy or miniature poodle could be cross bred and would look cute.
An Average size, i have two and their be is a about 1.5 metres squared.
The litter size of a Shih Tzu is 2 - 4 puppies.
it depends on the size of the mother and father. if the male is smaller and the female is larger then, it is more likely to have more but small puppies. then again, if you have a small female and a large male, then it is likely to have just a couple of large puppies. i have small males and large females, so my littler are usually bigger and i love small puppies, so i can thank the dad for that. good luck!
It can be hard to guess without the knowing the size of the parents but often the cross breed is larger than either parent. A cross been a shih tzu and a yorkie can be twice the size of either parent and has the terrier temperament.
I purchased a medium size crate for my Maltese puppy. It fits him right, and when he gets bigger, it will still work for him.
Maltese
6 to 9 pounds
In size.
it depends on the size of the poodle and shih-tzu i would think they would have to be around the same size
when a Maltese is born they are barely the size of a cell phone, and weigh about 1lb. (and they're super cute) :)
