Does your fluff waddle or prance? - Page 4 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Kitzi has beautiful movement---prances---when he is excited he hops! I think he is part rabbit. I want to do a video soon of his walking.

if that's what Snowy also thinks then I think my monkey should consider changing his style of walking

... because I find it SUPER CUTE

AWWWWWH not even close to looking tough (don't tell the boys I said that

) Snowy isn't overweight too. I am loving the duckie walk

that bum goes from left to right just like the lake's ducks AWWWH these feathery creatures also wag their tiny tails

Hunter hops like a bunny in the tall grass, prances when he is being looked at by his adoring public an/or has on a new outfit and waddles when he's tired or looking to be pampered. He certainly knows how to convey his feelings through his walks. Cindy Crawford better watch out!

Tiffany sashays. She holds her head up and wags her tail from side to side as she walks.

When she's walking in the grass, she hops around and lifts her paws up really high.

I love it when they do the bunny hop-yes you MUST do a video.

Diamond prances when she's going slowly down the street.

However, when she sees something exciting........she begins to hop.

That's why we call her a 'bunnog' = half bunny, half dog!

When she gets excited we say it's full bunnog mode bc she's like a little bunny hopping.

Also we now refer to all full maltese as true bunnogs

From the looks of the comments...it looks like we are right to assume that true maltese are part bunny.

Mindi prances when she thinks people are looking. She waddles when she is tired or is sniffing something out. She walks sideways when she is in trouble or when she is trying to look tough (for our cat). She hates the grass so when she has to go potty she tips toes. When she plays she hops and slides (not very graceful).

I love everyone's post - this must be one of my fave threads

I thought that I was the only one who observes and notices how the malts walk lol

Genki and Yukki both waddle. I have always loved to walk behind them and watch their little bums! They crack me up!
