Prepare for unexpected vet bills
The Malchi is a small designer breed that results from crossing the Maltese with a Chihuahua. This hybrid is attractive, intelligent and extremely affectionate towards their owners and their families. Malchis can adopt the appearance of any of the parent breeds – either one with curly fur like the Maltese or short-haired like the Chihuahua. This breed is known for being good-natured but with a hint of sass. Their loving character makes them a top choice for a companion or a family dog. Malchis are also highly trainable and can excel in a variety of canine sports. For Malchi owners, there are a number of activities that you can try with your beloved pooch, including the ones listed below.Â
Malchis are one of the most sociable designer dogs, particularly if they inherit more of the Maltese genes. This friendliness is not exclusive to humans; it also extends to other fellow canines. One of the best things that you can do for your dog, especially for those that are still young, is to let them socialize with other dogs. This prevents them from growing up nervous or timid around other canines. An anxious dog has the tendency to act out when they are threatened. Playdates are an effective socialization technique that can be crucial for dogs like the Malchi. Â
If you spend a good amount of time on social media networks, there’s a huge possibility that you have encountered a page (or two) of a dog. Dogs are a popular part of recent pop culture, especially relating to the new age of social media. Lots and lots of dog owners have taken advantage of the popularity of social media platforms in order to show off their respective dogs and make them famous in the online world. You can do this for your Malchi as well. People on the internet love to see photos and videos of dogs and your pooch is no exception. The best part about making a fanpage for your furbaby is that it’s free!
Have you ever come across videos of dogs skateboarding and thought about how cool it would be if your dog knew how to skateboard too? As improbable as it may seem, your dog can also learn how to maneuver the board. Malchis are highly trainable and are a good candidate to become a skateboarding dog. It would also be cool to stroll around the park or neighborhood with your dog on four wheels. Do note, however, that teaching your dog how to skateboard requires a lot of patience on your end. If you see it through to the end, your pooch will have a neat trick in their repertoire, just for the cost of time together.Â
Malchis are considered a lap dog and are likely more than happy to just lie down by your feet on the couch while you watch television. Remember that dogs appreciate being in the presence of their owners, even without actual interaction. Bonus points if you are watching a doggy-centric movie.Â
Because they are small in size, Malchis have very little exercise requirements. In fact, all that the breed needs is a 30-minute walk to keep them physically satiated. What you can do to add variety to your walks is to assign a different place for each day of the week. For instance, on Mondays, you will walk your pooch around the neighborhood. Meanwhile, on Tuesdays, you will be strolling around the dog park.Â
The Malchi is a relatively new hybrid that has won the hearts of many dog lovers across the country. The breed’s warm and loving nature, paired with their cleverness and loyalty, make them a superb choice for those looking for a four-legged companion. By taking on the right activities together, you can build your bond with your dog and ensure that they stay happy, healthy and satisfied.Â
