Tibalier Temperament and Behaviour

The Tibialier is a playful and curious dog that enjoys spending time with his family. They are extremely loyal to their owners, but can be wary of strangers. They are generally laid-back and good-natured, but can sometimes be shy. They enjoy playing and exercising, but are also happy to just lounge around and relax.

Tibalier Activity Requirements

The Maltese is a fluffy, white, toy-sized dog that is known for being playful and outgoing. They are generally considered to be lap dogs and are very affectionate. Even though they are not the most high-energy breed of dog, they do require regular exercise. A daily walk around the block or a few games of fetch are enough to keep your Maltese happy. If you are looking for a low-maintenance, low-energy dog, a Maltese may be a good choice. They are small, friendly, and don’t mind spending the day lounging around with you. Keep in mind, though, they do still require some exercise and attention.
