The Mauzer is a cross between a purebred Maltese and a purebred Miniature Schnauzer. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
These dogs are small in size with a height in the range of 8 to 14 inches and weight anywhere between 7 to 20 pounds. These dogs are cuddly, friendly, alert, intelligent and docile. These dogs are loving to their family but wary of unfamiliar persons. Once properly introduced, they instantly become friendly with guests. These dogs are alert and make good watch dogs. They are not noisy and will only bark to get attention of their owner to something or to display their pleasure or displeasure.
They are very playful and high energy dogs. They can live in a small house or apartment if their exercise needs are properly met. They make very good family and companion dogs.
