The Controversy of Mixing Breed
Some Maltese lovers firmly believe that the bloodlines of the Maltese breed must stay intact. Hypothetically, if the Maltese breed were always bred with other dog breeds, there would be no Maltese breed any more, at some point. Even so, those against mixing argue that to keep the bloodlines strong, no intermixing should be done.
On a medical level: each dog breed is prone to its own set of medical issues. When you mix 2 different dog breeds, those puppies that are produced can potentially have unhealthy genes from both parents. In turn, these dogs can then be faced with medical problems never seen before. For example, suffering from a Maltese disease and a Pom disease. Hypothetically, some argue that mixing may generate new strains of disease never before seen in the canine world.
Certain mixes, such as the Maltipoo, Mal Shih, Malti Pom and Morkie are known as Hybrid Maltese dogs. This is fast becoming a popular trend. Those in favor of these mixes are pushing to have these Maltese mixed dogs accepted as official, new dog breeds. Only time will tell if this will be accomplished.
