Tcup shitzu/maltese mix wanted

I am new to the forum. I have a 9 mo old Maltipoo, and love him to death. I recently saw a tcup shitzu/maltese mix and feel in love. I am willing to pay but nothing in the range this women was asking. I have so much space for a puppy and Luca would love a playmate. Pls if anyone out there can help me...I was lucky with the last breeder. I live on Long Island, in NY.
