Maltzu
« Maltzu » est un terme utilisé pour désigner un chien de type designer dog issu du croisement entre ces deux races : le bichon maltais et le shih tzu. Ce mot, qui vient de la contraction entre les mots "maltese" et "shih tzu", a été inventé par les amateurs de ce type de chiens. En effet, il ne s'agit pas d'une race "officielle", c'est-à-dire qu'elle n'est pas encore reconnue par les associations et clubs canins comme la Société Centrale Canine.
