Maltese Puppies

Is there anything in the world as cute as a puppy? With its warm bellies and wet noses? With its short legs and long ears? I do not think there is. But if you are not yet with me, if you do not agree completely, I will give you some more reasons.

Maltese dogs are famous for their glossy, long white hair, that when appropriately brushed may even shine, his body is quite small but he has a distinguishable attitude.

He is a cautious, but at the same time, attentive animal. He is on the alert and does not hesitate to come into action when necessary. At the same time, it is a family dog, affective, caring, specially good for older kids, since very small kids may make him intolerant.

Because of their size they are also convenient for families wanting to adopt a first dog in apartments. It is recommendable to ask beforehand about the special cares he may need there.

His temperament is quite stable. It may be active or have a stormy outburst, and you will see him running through the house. Due to their small size these dogs had a quite negative reputation for being noisy. What may happen is that as they are protective of their family, they may try to scare other dogs by barking at them if they feel threatened.

Maltese puppies are so pretty that there are even web pages of fans all around the globe. They even gather and share pictures of these lovely creatures, or as they want to call them, friends.

There are organisations that occasionally present puppies for different competitions, such as the show ring, field, home and obedience ring. These organisations and Maltese dog breeders having web pages that show these puppies and their pedigree. So, beforehand, you should have the certificates their parents were given, and you can also view the little fellows before deciding on buying one of them. Or you can just simply enjoy the view, and look at the photos showing these wonderful creatures at different ages, with different colours and expressions.

Some of these pages, even sell the puppies, but not until they are 8 weeks old. This is because the puppies need to be mature enough before going out, apart from vaccines and special care, they have to develop and show they are healthy to walk out in the world.
