Breed Spotlight.. Maltese
The Maltese is lively, vivacious, playful, gentle, and loving. They are intelligent and loyal to their masters. They make wonderful little companions. Although the Maltese is generally good with children and other pets, they may snap if handled roughly by a child.
Grooming Requirements – The trademark of this breed is their silky, white, flowing hair. They need to be brushed daily and shampooed often. As with most white dogs, the eyes must also be wiped regularly to prevent tear staining. The Maltese sheds little to no hair.
Activity Level – This dog loves indoor play, and doesn’t necessarily need a yard. They do have a tendency to jump in puddles when outside.
Size – These are very small dogs, usually weighing in at 4-6 pounds.
