Woman Discovers Her Tiny Malshipoo Puppy Has A Big Attitude With Adorable Tantrum
Dogs do not hold back. They definitely let us know what they're feeling, and sometimes that translates into big emotions — and attitude — coming out in what can only be described as throwing a doggy tantrum. Just take this tiny malshipoo puppy named Kali, who has some pointed things to bark about to her taken-aback owner.
@puppykali Where did all this sas come from?? #puppytiktok #sassypuppy #cutiepie
In the TikTok video, captioned "Where did all this sass come from??" and lamenting finding out that "your puppy talks back," we see the cute little mixed-breed dog yapping away. Of course, her owner doesn't seem too thrilled by the newfound boldness, snapping back, "Girl, who you talking to?!"
Despite the 'tude, people in the comments thought the interaction was oh so adorable. "Aww she's a feisty little ball of cuteness," said one person, with another stating, "SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID! 😂😂😂😂😂." Now, if only someone would just invent a bark-translation system, we'd probably really be in for a laugh!
More about malshipoos
A malshipoo is a fluffy little designer mix that combines three breeds: the Maltese, shih tzu, and the toy poodle. The resulting hybrid typically weighs between 5 and 25 pounds and stands about 8 to 14 inches tall, making it a great companion for any pet owner. Its soft coat ranges in color from white or cream to black, brown, or apricot. While they generally shed very little, no dog is completely hypoallergenic.
When it comes to personality, malshipoos are a unique blend of all three breeds. They can inherit the poodle's smarts (one of the smartest dog breeds!), making them quick learners who enjoy positive reinforcement during training. Meanwhile, their Maltese and shih tzu roots bring plenty of cuddly companionship.
Don't let their small size fool you into thinking they're low-maintenance, though! Malshipoos need regular brushing to prevent tangles and professional grooming, and daily play and walks help keep them happy. Meanwhile, routine veterinary care can catch potential problems that may arise from such a hybrid, including dental, eye, and joint issues. While they may alert you to unfamiliar noises, they aren't considered an excessively barky breed based on their lineage. Just like any other dog or breed, though, they can certainly get mouthy when they want to — just ask Kali!
