Maltese

The Maltese is a small, pure white dog with silky hair. They are one of the oldest toy breeds known and have been popular lap dogs for centuries. They are a small dog breed that originates from Malta. They have a white, silky coat that does not shed much and they require very little grooming. Maltese dogs are intelligent, playful, loving and make great companion animals.

Despite their diminutive size, they are lively and playful dogs that enjoy being the centre of attention. They are very people-oriented and do not like being left alone for long periods of time. They make great companions for seniors or anyone that wants a quiet, loving dog by their side. These gentle souls do well in homes with other pets as long as they are introduced slowly and appropriately socialised from an early age.
