Hutsok Maltese and Yorkies - Maltese Breeder - Maltese Puppies

Maltese Breed Information

Color: Pure White - some have slight lemon markings on ears. This is permissible in the Maltese Standard just not preferred according to the AKC. Has dark luminous eyes and black pigmentation of nose, lips and eyes. This is what enhances the Maltese beautiful expression.

Coat: Maltese have a gorgeous, long, silky but strong, even textured coat that hangs straight to the ground from a center part running from nose to tip of tail. Maltese have no undercoat. Long hair may be tied up in a topknot or it may be left hanging.

Temperament: Gentle, trusting and obedient. Typically good natured and love to be held and cuddled. Maltese are also very affectionate, fearless and intelligent. They love to romp and play and are use to being the center of attention. Maltese do not make the best pet for small children but they love kids if handled properly. Rough handling can seriously hurt or injure the Maltese fragile build.

Care: The Maltese coat require daily brushing and combing to prevent matting. Needs to be bathed on a regular basis. The eyes need daily cleaning to prevent staining. It is also important to keep their ears clean and free from stray hairs. I like to keep the hair trimmed around their feet. Toe nails should be kept short. Teeth need daily brushing. Maltese are known to have tear staining with some more than others. Puppies are likely to have tear staining when they are teething. There are many causes of tear staining. We like to keep our Maltese in a puppy cut during the hot summer months. There are several excellent books that have been written on Maltese and all give more detailed information on grooming.

Training: Crate training is recommended and should never be harsh in nature. It should be done with love, consistency, reward and patience. Exercise needs are minimal but they still love a good romp in the yard. I like to use a portable exercise pen and attach to the crate. This gives them a nice comfortable place to sleep in the crate and if you are gone through the day the exercise pen gives them room to play.

Life Expectancy: 15 - 18 years
