A terrier, if not introduced to another pet properly when young will chase other animals, expecially rodents(rabbits, guinea pigs, mice... etc) If you give the right training, ample amount of play and introduce the pup to the other animal, it will be fine. My boxers chase cats and rabbits so I do not let them get close to each other. I keep my rabbits and cats indoors. My cat is naturally ok with my birds and rabbits coz I introduced him to them when young. Now my pup is friskie with my rabbits but she is learning to respect them. A maltese would require more grooming and care than a yorkie because maltese have ever growing fur and needs triming and it is white so you will need to maintain the whiteness. Why not a silky terrier? I have been around silkies and find them very lively to have, gentle and active and the grooming I think should be easier than a yorkie. At the end of the day, the breed of choice is up to you. Do more reading if you can to understand terrier and maltese. Generally, I like both breeds, they are nice to have and are gentle. Bukit Gasing, I think you can find a map under the Jungle trekking thread. I have gone a few times, wonderful trek that will make you break into a sweat but it's not hard on the lungs, I normally can't last coz I got breathing difficulties but this trek is easy and fun especially with the dogs around. I might be going again in 2 weeks time. It's on Saturday mornings, starts at 7.30am and the trek can last about an hour. I go there without my dogs but there are plenty of friendly dogs there. Willy, my beloved shih tzu (22 March 1994- 8 August 2005) May you rest and live happily in Rainbow Bridge with the rest. You will forever be deeply missed by all. Puppies and kittens, helpless and innocent are always roaming the streets as strays. Adopt from animal shelthers to save them. THEY NEED YOUR HELP AND LOVE
