    Maltese have health issues with the breed. Also they are long haired and you will need to spend some time each day grooming them.

    **** Tzu's come in a short haired variety and have no health issues associated with the breed.

    You will spend less time grroming.

    They are both indoor dogs and evan a small house would be fine for either one.

    Shih tzu is way cuter and fun. I've always wanted to buy a shih tzu. Its like my life long dream.
