The Maltese dog with it’s snow white silky coat, has a wonderful temperament and is very affectionate. It needs a little exercise and play.
My neighbor went to buy a Maltese puppy and she came back with two of them because she just could not decide which one she liked better. Her dogs are very shy. They are snappy and bark a lot every time we go past their door. So this little dog is a good watch dog because they bark at everything.
This dog is especially good for people with allergies.
He is easy to train and has very good nature. Not good with children it can be snappy if handled too roughly. Lively and always alert, it will bark at strange noises.
There are two Maltese living down the hall from me and every time my Westie goes by they spring into action and bark until we are well past.
Daily grooming is essential and I mean it. Their silky coat can become tangled very easily but is beautiful when properly groomed on a regular basis.
Do not over feed this little dog because it can become quite fussy.
This dog ranges in size from 8 to inches as the shoulder and weighs to pounds.
