We have many references that we can provide for you as we have sold many Maltese puppies and have lots of happy owners willing to share their happiness with others.
There is a lot of work involved in breeding Maltese and probably any breed, but i find that i enjoy most aspects of breeding the Maltese and find it very therapeutic.
Maltese breed profile
If you own or have owned a Maltese before, you already know that they are lively and fearless dogs. these tiny dogs have long been symbols of status and royalty. as far back as 500 years ago, they were sold for $2000 or more! unlike some other toy breeds, the Maltese is not simply a smaller version of another dog. rather, the first Maltese dogs were the same size as today’s breed standard.
Attitude and behavior of Maltese
Maltese dogs are both affectionate lap dogs and exuberant playmates. they’re friendly with children, although care should be taken when allowing toy breeds to play roughly with children. they’re usually good with other animals, although they may foolishly challenge larger dogs. Maltese are generally reserved towards strangers, but are well suited to family life.
Maltese are full of energy, and tend to be bold and curious. they learn quite quickly, but can become stubborn. reward-based training involving food or play goes a long way to keeping your Maltese engaged but be careful not to reward too much, or your Maltese’s waistline may suffer!
Exercise and nutrition
Maltese tend to stay in reasonable weight, but it may be difficult to tell because of the abundance of fur. you should be able to feel the ribs, but they should not be too noticeable by sight. feed a balanced diet, as recommended by your veterinarian, and reduce calories and increase exercise if needed. remember that the calories in treats add up fast with a toy breed dog.
Maltese make lively and alert house-dogs as long as their exercise needs are met. a daily walk around the block, coupled with several play sessions, will usually suffice. dog parks provide a welcome change of scenery, but should be considered carefully if there is not an area separated for small breed dogs. use caution when letting your Maltese run off-leash – choose only enclosed areas such as a well fenced dog park or yards.
Everyone that knows Maltese knows their sweet little personalities and how smart they are. Maltese are also hypoallergenic and non shedding dogs.
Maltese are wonderful with kids. you just need to make sure that younger kids are gentle and hold them while sitting down because it only takes one drop while standing and holding a small Maltese to injure the puppy or even an adult Maltese for that matter. you have to anticipate that if they were to take a quick jump from your arms that you have a good hold on them because i have seen Maltese jump like that many times. sometimes when they are ready to get down they just jump and as i said they have big personalities and don't see their small size as any hindrance to what they want to do. the same thing goes with being on a bed or on a couch, if they are ready to get down, they will just make the jump so keep a good eye on them if you have a tiny one or a high couch for that matter.
We encourage you to come and visit our home and meet all of our beautiful Maltese.
