The Maltese is the oldest European toy breed and are amongst the oldest of all breeds. The breed can be traced back many centuries as far back as 6000 B.C. Though the exact origins are unknown, they believe that that they originated on he island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, hence the name "Maltese."
Maltese puppies are among the most gentle mannered of all little dogs. They are very affectionate, loving, cheerful and playful. Often said, they are packed full of personality, known for their outbursts of running at top speeds in all directions. They are lovable companions that want nothing more that to be loved by you. Maltese puppies are highly intelligent, quick to learn tricks and commands.
A Maltese life span is from 12-14 years, they are a small, fine-bonded sturdy dog. Eyes are dark, round and alert an their muzzle is medium length. Their nose is black but can become brown or pink during the winter, referred to as the "winter nose". It will turn back to black with more exposure to the sun.
Maltese puppies sport a single layered solid white coat hair. Their long hair should drape over each side, divided down the back. Their hair grows about 8 inches long or almost touching the ground. Daily grooming is required to keep the Maltese coat clean and mat free. Many owners will keep them cut in what is commonly referred to as the "puppy cut", where the hair is kept 1-2 inches all over the entire body. Dead hair will need to be brushed out as this breed does not shed; the dead hair will become matted if not removed.

We purchased “Jessie” almost 3 years ago. We named her Charley. She is the sweetest, FUNNIEST little Pom-a-Poo! She loves people and everyone loves her. She’s smart and is the apple of our eye. When we lost our poodle of 18 years, we were heartbroken. Charley has filled our home with laughter and love. Thank you, Princess Puppies and Brittany for raising such wonderful friends! ❤️ Tracy
We had a beautiful 5 year old Shitzu that we loved. A Hawk killed her the day after Christmas. We were heartbroken. We found Princess Puppies and Brittney met us at 7 pm that evening to let us meet Noel. It was love at first sight. We have had her a few days now and she is the sweetest little furbaby. Very cuddly and affectionate. Has slept with us...

Piper just made 1 year old and she has brought so much love to our family. She is a Malshi and weighs 9 pounds. She has been a sweetheart from the moment we got her. It is obvious she was well loved when we got her. I recommend Princess Puppies highly.
This is my heartbeat Bentley <3 He loves his mama and is always in my lap :) He is the best snuggler and goes everywhere with me in his stroller. He is a Malshi and weighs 12lbs. He loves his rubber ducks! Shared
My baby Liberty is almost 1. I bought her last October and she has been the light of my life. Her personality is so sweet and she is spoiled rotten. Princess Puppies was very accommodating when I inquired about their puppies and meeting me on my time schedule. I could not be a happier fur mom. Liberty Pearl 7-4-17.
