1. The animal shelter is your best bet. No reputable breeder would ever breed mutts. So if you find a "breeder" selling a maltese/yorkie mix, they aren't a good breeder. Or you could just get either a maltese OR a yorkie from a reputable breeder (or the animal shelter is still a possibility here too). .

3. why not advertise in your local papers pet s column and see what happens shops and your local vets surgeries or ask at your local shelter if a maltese cross comes in to call you and you can maybe adopt
4. From an animal shelter. No reputable breeder would ever deliberately mate these 2 perfectly good breeds together to produce a crossbreed. If you do find a breeder who does, bet your life they will not have worried about things like health checks, temperament or good rearing practice. Nikki is obviously one of the people taken in by the tabloid television. The dogs bred by reputable breeders do not end up in rescue. I'd rather buy a health tested pedigree dog any day than encourage irresponsible breeders who wouldn't know a health test if they fell over one, don't give any backup care & won't take back their pups if the new owners can't or won't look after it any longer.
5. I would try a rescue, too many wonderful dogs are destroyed because too many are bred. As for comments like there are no reputable breeders of mutts, I wouldn't class any breeder as reputable when we have homeless dogs being killed. But what I will say is breeders who breed crossbreeds are producing healthier dogs than purebred breeders. So if you are going to buy you'd be better off buying a healthly crossbreed rather than an inbred pedigree. http://www1.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/news/inbreedingdogs/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYxvlfxvnk
