If you want to have a designer puppy then get one. Pay what you want for it. If you want this dog as a pet, and do not plan on showing it, and you don't care if its registered, screw everything else. The Maltese breed is one of the oldest breeds. It is said that either Plato or Socrates had one, I cannot remember which. The yorkie is a relatively younger breed. It originated in England about 150 years ago. Out of all of the toy breeds, if you were to intermingle any breeds, a bichon frise, maltese, or yorkie would go best together. A maltese normally has a calmer personality than the other two but none of the three sheds like regular dogs. They are all hypo-allergenic, meaning that if you are allergic to dogs, you will NOT be allergic to these three because they have no dander. They are all small toy breeds. I have a morkie, a maltese, and a yorkie. My favorite is the morkie. He looks like a teddy bear and feels like one too! Yorkies and Maltese do not share any genetic issues except tearing problems but that happens with all short nosed toy breeds. So, suit yourself and buy what you want.
