Look at me! I am an AKC Maltese puppy!  I was born on March 30th and I am ready for my forever home!  I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers.  I have been checked by a veterinarian.. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Amanda Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday. 

Did you know this about the Maltese breed- 

The Maltese is a small companion breed with a sweet, tender, and loving temperament.  They have been in existence for thousands of years and in many civilizations.  The Egyptians and Europeans had the belief that the Maltese could cure people, hence they came to be called, “The Comforter.” Due to their sensitive personality, they make great therapy dogs, but have a tendency to develop separation anxiety when left alone for an extended period of time.  They are a great breed for new dog owners, and are easy to train due to their intelligence, but early training and socialization would be essential.  Beloved, winsome, and charming the Maltese is a natural comic and will bring delight to any home.  They are the most admired breed at dog shows with its gorgeous white coat, and playful personality.  They even keep their playfulness as they get older.  The Maltese would do well living in an apartment, and they require only 30 minutes a day of exercise.  But, it is vitally important not to walk a young pup too far, that is until after 9 months of age because their bones are still developing.  The Maltese was bred to be a companion dog, so it subsequently needs to live indoors and be with its human family. They are typically 8-10 inches high, usually weigh up to seven pounds, and commonly have a lifespan of  12-15 years. Overall, this charming breed is basically healthy and with routine veterinary visits and loving care they should live a long and happy life.
