Malteses

The Maltese is among the oldest of all breeds, and is now one of the most popular toy breeds. Weighing four to seven pounds when fully grown, this breed has a long silky coat that sheds very little. Daily brushing and combing is recommended to prevent tangling. This breed loves to run and play. Short walks and indoor or outdoor play sessions are advised every day. Maltese puppies are gentle but may bark a lot. They make great lap dogs and are good with children. Early socialization is recommended if they are to live with other dogs. May be crossed with the Silky Terrier to create the Silkese.
