The exact origin of the Maltese breed is unknown. Some say that the breed derives its name from the island of Malta. Other theories suggest that the Maltese got its name from a now non-existent town of Melita in Sicily.
The Maltese is believed to have descended from a Spitz type dog, although other speculations suggest it might be a descendant of the Tibetan Terrier. Over the years, the Maltese was crossbred with smaller breeds such as the Poodle and miniature Spaniel to further reduce its size. Originally, the breed was used to hunt rodents, but over a long period of time, it became popular as a toy breed. It was first officially recognized by the AKC in 1888.
The Maltese is a toy breed covered with long hair all over its body. It has a medium-sized head that is proportionate to the body; low set ears which are carried close to the head; round eyes which are dark colored; a black nose; a squashed muzzle that slightly tapers toward the end; taut lips which are black in color with teeth which meet in a scissors bite, even bite or an edge-to-edge bite.
This breed has a long tail which is heavily plumed and carried over the back. It has short legs which are strong and straight with hindlegs slightly angulated and round feet that are small in size. It has a single coat that is long, silky, and lying flat on the sides of the body. The color of the coat is only pure white, although slight markings of lemon on the ears are acceptable.
The Maltese are a lively and intelligent breed. It is great with kids, dogs as well as other pets. Its lively spirit makes it an excellent companion breed. It is friendly with strangers too and has a tendency to bark on hearing suspicious noises, which makes it a good watchdog. This breed is very easy to train and can be taught new tricks. However, it is prone to the Small Dog Syndrome. Strong leadership is required to have a well-behaved dog. Being a toy breed, it does very well in apartment life.
The Maltese sheds very little hair and is good for allergy sufferers. Its long and silky coat needs extensive grooming. Almost daily brushing is required to maintain a healthy-looking coat. The hair on the head should either be trimmed or tied up in a knot to keep them away from the eyes. Its long pure white coat tends to accumulate dust, so needs to be bathed regularly but must be dried properly after each bath. Its eyes, ears, and teeth should be cleaned properly to avoid any infection. The hair around its eyes, ears, paws, and nails should be trimmed regularly. Some dry food or bone should be given to the dog to chew, in order to keep its teeth strong and clean.
Being a toy breed, it needs a moderate amount of exercise. A daily walk is essential for the emotional needs of the dog. A romp in an open area every now and then or play is sufficient to take care of its developmental needs. Lack of exercise may create behavioral problems in the dog and can also make it overweight. It is sensitive to very high or very low temperatures so should be adequately protected.

This elegant toy puppy breed is famous for the silky white hair covering its nice body. Straight and thick, the coat falls all the way to the floor if you allow it to grow. Back in time, Maltese came in many colors, but these days they are always pure white.

Toy Maltese puppies will weigh no more than fifteen pounds at maturity. The ones we consider as Teacups will weigh no more than 7 pounds. Males should be six to twelve inches tall at the shoulder, while females should be eight to fifteen inches tall.
Ready to take one of our adorable Teacup or Toy Maltese puppies for sale home? You should know that Maltese dogs enjoy a regular walk or playing outside. They often remain playful well into old age. Because they are active indoors and don’t require a great deal of exercise, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to keep them in good shape.
As a rule of thumb, wait until your Maltese puppy is 8 months old to walk very far with him because his bones are still developing. Let your puppy play at his own pace in your fenced yard until he is mature, and then take him or her to your vet for a checkup before increasing the exercise levels.
