The modern Maltese terrier is a companion dog that is devoted to its owner and fits perfectly in most laps. They are highly intelligent but can be prone to barking. Maltese terriers are active indoors and are well-suited to apartment living, although they still need regular walks. Known for their long, silky coat, they need daily grooming or a regular clip to stay neat. Despite this, they are low shedders. The Maltipoo, a Maltese-poodle mix, is another good choice for those with allergies.
