Maltinese? - DogForum.net

LoveThatPom · 03-13-2007, 12:49 AM

My new dog (still unnamed) is a cross between a maltese and pekingese. Does anyone know if there is a coined term for this (you know, like puggle, labradoodle, etc)? I was thinking "maltinese". Any other suggestions?

This is what the rare maltinese looks like:

The is what a cross breed maltese and pekingese is called. Peke-a-tese
They are known as a designer breed now!

LOL, both are cute names.

Hi hes cute, however i think "rare" is the incorrect name to call him.

It is pretty much up to you what you call him. Naming crosses is a free-for-all since it is not regulated by any organization.

Thanks all! I figured there had to be a commonly accepted name as everyone is crossing dogs and demanding big bucks for them. "Peke-a-tese" is probably better since she looks a bit more like the pekingese as far as coloring and her muzzle.

Not going to happen till Mr. GP wises up and stops buying them cause they have been slapped with a cute name.

To the op
Your pup is cute it is what it is... a maltese/peke cross and that is how I would refer to it if I were you. It is people like you that can help educate the public.

Your pup is cute!

I like all the names suggested, but it is up to you what you want to call it.
