🤍 Maltese puppies
The Maltese is a refined toy breed famous for its silky, floor-length white coat and gentle, affectionate temperament. Playful yet devoted, these little dogs thrive on human companionship and make elegant, portable family pets.
History & background
One of the oldest toy breeds, the Maltese has been a cherished lap dog around the Mediterranean island of Malta for more than two thousand years. Aristocrats and royalty across ancient Greece and Rome prized these small white companions.
Is a Maltese right for you?
The Maltese suits apartments, seniors, and anyone wanting a small, low-shedding companion. Their single coat handles Florida warmth better than double-coated breeds, but they still need shade, hydration, and indoor cool-down time.
Care & health
The white coat mats easily and needs daily brushing or a shorter trim, plus tear-stain care around the eyes. Maltese need only light daily exercise; monitor for dental disease, luxating patella, and their delicate small-breed bones.
