Someone asked recently for an updated picture of Einstein... You may notice the coloring on his head has changed from predominately black with white to mostly tan with some white. Other than that his markings have remained pretty similar. He is about 15-16lbs. :)
Einstein has been with me now for about 2.5 years and I still think he's the greatest - arguably the greatest dog on the planet if you ask me. :))
For anyone looking into getting a Malteagle, the ONLY down side I've found with Einstein is his shedding. Supposedly, Maltese and Beagles don't shed much, some not at all, but that is certainly not the case with my little guy. I brush and comb him as part of our regular daily routine and still I end up with hairs on my clothes. I will say though, he absolutely LOVES being touched, combed, brushed and oh, please continue a little more... he is super cooperative and unashamedly encourages my hand to give attention in just the right spot.
Happy trails everyone...

I have a malteagle (I think!) and would love to share a photo and description of my pup, but couldn't find an email address or other way to submit it. I've also found 2 other malteagle resources, but agree there is very little out there about this hybrid breed. Here are the ones I found, you may have seen them already: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/m/malteagle.htm, and http://www.maltesemaniac.com/beagle-mix-dogs.html
Thankyou for starting this blog! I agree, there's not much info out there and I've never encountered another malteagle owner.
I had a matleagle when I was a child and she was very curious about the world so she'd analyze everything with her nose. I swear, if she could, she'd sniff every nook and cranny of the entire world.
I also found her to be very intuitive when it comes to human emotion. If I was happy, she was happy. If I was upset, she'd get stressed out. She was a very expressive dog and she'd definitly let you know how she was feeling. It was like she was human herself haha.
