They are a sturdier dog than the Maltese, so if you want your dog involved with outdoor activities, the Havanese would likely be a better choice. Our Havs go sailing with us and travel all over. Both dogs need coat care, but both can be cut down to a Puppy cut leaving the head and tail long and the body at 2". Because both breeds have hair, they don't smell as much, BUT they have to be groomed. Mine are bathed and blow dried every couple of weeks. Generally they can go about a month before any odor is noticeable. Because they don't shed, both breeds have to be brushed regularly - a good coat shouldn't need to be brushed more often than every day or two. (This is for a dog that is not "blowing" coat, which they do as they mature and, if kept intact, every time a girl goes into season).<br><b>References : </b><br> Havanese are quite smart.

I know the Maltese owners will be having a fit at me.. but having raised plenty of these little moppet dogs, I find the Havanese are more easily taught the baisc doggie directions. Maltese do learn but they seem to have a shorter attention span. I'll take a Havanese over a Maltese any time.. except... if I was living in a tiny apartment.. then the Maltese has tinyness on its side with many landlords restricting pets with apartment size..<br><b>References : </b><br> This is only from my personal experience but I believe the Havanese is smarter than the Maltese..
