So true. Unfortunately mine passed away last Thursday and since then I've been shattered. If you told me 15 yrs ago that I would be unconsolable after losing a little 10lb dog I would've thought you were crazy. She changed me so much. I used to be this big 6'4" 250 pound bad ass and now I'm just a big softie and have no shame in saying so.
I need my Maltese more than I knew he’s been such a blessing to me and my family! He’s fearless as ever! I got him when he was 7weeks. He’s now 11 weeks old and I couldn’t imagine life without him ❤️

scott gollahon I really need to know if they shed ı wanna buy one but my mum doesn’t want to collect hair from all over the house and does it barks when we are not at home please answer we really need a honest answer
@@simalozgul596 my dog doesn't shed...I have long hair and there's more mine lying around than his by far....as far as a dog barking when you're not home that is completely based on if you train your dog properly, dogs are very smart and I think malteses are an extremely bright breed at least mine is. That being said they are like children if you don't teach them right from wrong they will not know. Every dog just like every person is there own entity so if you treat them right raise them properly and love them a bunch you should have great results. All I can tell you is this having a dog is a great responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly they are living breathing creatures but for me my dog is by far my greatest joy. If you're ready for one I hope you enjoy him or her but do realise they are something you have to take care of Good Luck!!!

Inside hes better but outside hes a TERRORIST 🤦♀️😂😂😂😂
After grieving over the loss of little (Maltese) Toto, I drove for 3 hrs to adopt an older Maltese. He sleeps all the time, with a little tongue that hangs out due to no teeth. He has become my pet that is definitely not a protector, as he only barks when he hears the clink of his feeding bowl. Now an older babe!
Interesting. I did the same thing. After raising my Maltese girl to 16 years and 11 days, after she passed, I rescued 2 senior, bonded dogs someone dropped off at 13 years old. Best thing I ever did second only to getting my first baby.
I just got my first Maltese and I am trying to learn everything for him to be a healthy, happy dog. Have I mentioned I fell in love with him immediately.
The first dog I ever loved was a Maltese. He lived 15 years and I lost a part of my heart when he left us. We now have another Maltese and I am absolutely in love with him. He is such a goofball and sweet dog. Very sensitive too.
Oh dear big loss 😪 i buy in March my girl and i cant live without her for this moment she is whole my world ❤️❤️😘but my first girl (not maltese) died years ago and i hope she is in better place🐾🐾
Im so sorry for your loss. I’m sure it’s as hard today as it was a year ago. My two beautiful bouncy Malteses went over the Rainbow Bridge 6 months apart…the recent was this past Saturday. They were truly my babies. 11 and 12 years old. There is a cloud of Maltese pups where all you can see are big black eyes and noses…I want to live on that cloud! 🐶❤️🌈
"Picky eater" is an understatement. Snacks and treats are a hit or miss....my cupboard is full of them. What the hell am I going to do with them all? I can't eat them.
I have a picky cat that is allergic to the majority of regular cat food. In result, not only I have to spend a fortune in hypoallergenic treats, but he also gets bored of them, and doesn’t eat all the new ones I buy. So I have to keep trying new ones, just so he gets bored and leave them aside 🙄🤷🏼♀️ I donate the ones that he doesn’t eat to a shelter. Maybe you could do the same?
My Maltese are very picky eater too. They don’t eat their dry dog food unless I sprinkle our table food in their bowls. So I cooked chicken or beef vegetables soup to mix with their dry dog foods and they love it. We are the dog lovers
Sharing my grief with others who have lost their Maltese children. We had two girls, Rosie (Posie) and Daisy (Maisy). They were four years apart in age and from different birth families but sisters all the same in our family. We lost Rosie in 2014 at age 15 due to diabetes and Daisy will have been gone one year ago this month (May 2020) after being euthanized at age 16 from declining health due to kidney failure. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my canine kids, especially when I see others in my neighborhood outside walking with theirs. At first, I wanted to get another Maltese but realize now doing so would disrespect the memories and wonderful years I had with our girls who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Looking forward to seeing them again one day and not be separated any longer. Thanks for reading.
I feel the same. I had two dogs too. My older sweet boy died of diabetic complications when he was 13. His "brother" was 10 years old then. He got to be 17 for almost 3 months before he died on Dec. 17th of 2020. I was hoping for more years with him. He was so lively until his last couple of weeks. But through it all, he was a trooper. Just like his brother. I miss them so much. There's no way to replace him or his brother.
I feel the same way . These dogs are irreplaceable .🥲 I had my Heidi for 14 years , she also died of kidney failure. She was born deaf & I think that affected her in many ways as she was more hyper than most Malteses i’ve had many dogs whom I’ve hello, but she had such a special place in my heart that I knew I could never replace her. It wouldn’t be fair to try to compare her to another dog so, being an animal lover that I am, I decided I would get a cat instead. Unfortunately I still have to compare this cat with my Maltese & I know that isn’t fair. I guess I am just lucky to have had this wonderful creature in my life. I miss her so much ! 😢❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to hear of all the diabetes of these and other tiny dogs. Wondering which vaccines were given? I' concerned about autoimmune diseases (Type 1 DM is autoimmune) and so I am only having my Maltese get required rabies every 3 years. Also giving probiotics, but wondering what regime others have been on who got diabetes. My Maltese developed generalized petechiae a week after rabies, and as she gets older now I'm on y guard!
@@finallythere100 You are smart to be weary and observant. A lot of the US veterans from the Gulf War were way over vaxxed going into war and many have autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. Sometimes specific dogs just like people are very sensitive to vaccines.
My Maltese runs my household. She’s in charge of my other two dogs and makes sure that they know that I belong to HER. Such a character. Best dogs ever. Smart and full of personality
@@veronicaalmaguer1916 I know what you mean, I lost my Prince the day after Easter last year. He was 15 and was the 2nd love of my life. My husband died and 2 years later I adopted Him, He had Pancreatitis. I cant get over losing him, I cry every day.
Oh man, How I miss my "Little white cloud"😥. I had my Scotty for 15 years, & how I LOVED him so... My maltese companion, my baby boy... It's been a year now that he went to doggy heaven, & it hurts like if it were yesterday. Ya'll enjoy & LOVE your "lil white clouds".. they are such beautiful dogs👍
Veronica Almaguer Hi hun I'm so sorry for your loss I just lost my baby 2 weeks ago and it feels like I can't breathe at times I could just imagine what you're going through and I know it sounds cliche but just try to remember all the love that you gave your baby and the love you got back and let that help you heal even though I know it seems impossible I hope you find some peace and you heal your heart❤
My Maltese is named pinball . She is the best thing that ever happened to me I was diagnosed with parkinson's disease and got depressed got her and she's the best therapy I've had yet
My 1st Maltese made me love all canines in general. She has been gone for over 4 years but I think about her everyday and she is buried in a beautiful pet cemetery. Now have a 2 year old Maltese that I got when she was a baby and have showered her with love ever since!
C Estrada Is it in Hartsdale Ny. My babies are there and the family are the best people.. I just lost my precious CC 2 weeks ago and it's so hard but knowing that she's buried there is such a comfort and knowing how well the family took care of her in the process has helped heal some of my pain but I miss her so desperately
I love allergies free and don’t shed, I got him from the adoption center at 10 yrs old, I was surprised how active and playful he is, I don’t believe in crates, my home is their home. I am so happy I love him so much. He is a joy to our family
I L O V E Maltese! I've been Blessed to own this breed. I love females, they have big personalities, very loyal and loving. They are very brave and fearless. My "Lucy" lived 11 years...miss her very much. Great video, thank you! 🐾🐾
my maltese tried barking away this giant husky in a mall once, the husky just looked at him and then walked away so i can attest to them being fearless lmao
Mine is only 3lbs n will bark right in a pitbulls face in a second 🤣 shes a rescue she wasn't being adopted bc of her age shes 7 no one wanted an older dog but what they dont realize is that the senior dogs are the easier ones! Shes so affectionate n calm n already house trained at 7yrs old they literally dont need anything but love n attention!
Katey, or “Kit-kat,” as I like to call her, has been with my family now for 11 years. She doesn’t like other dogs that much, yet she is extremely loyal to me and my parents. She suffers from separation anxiety, yet she’s a really great dog. Her personality is really unique.
I had a Maltipoo, I got him when he was 15 years old. I took him with me to most of the places and all trips. I even would take him to some of the restaurants (off course places with outside sitting) he would stay put on the chair, never on the floors. He was so well behaved that he was almost unnoticed by others. His grooming was done monthly and at home I kept up with his hygiene daily. Due to his age he got completely blind and he fell the bed getting hurt. Took him to a Vet who prescribed a medication which killed him in less than 2 hours.
Bless you … mine crossed the rainbow bridge blind at 15 … she had a series of strokes/seizures … the first leaving her blind in one eye, then another that left her completely blind … she lived blind for several months … the last seizure was horrid, she never came out of it!
I am so sorry this happened to you and your little dog. My Maltese was with me for 15 years and always by my side . I'm almost 80 and just know It would be hard to have another little dog , unless it was a Maltese.
It has been hard for me too to thinking about replacing him. Although, lately I am having a change of a heart 💔❤️. Their little sweet faces are inresistable. Thank you for all your kind words.
They are fiercely loyal and protective, super intelligent, and can be quite stubborn and headstrong... I've had other breeds, but my maltese were the BEST dogs I had ever had.
Never leave them alone in the yard. They are very delicate dogs and can hurt themselves. They are wonderful. We have a Maltipoo. Keep their eyes clean, too.
My maltese dog, snow is very friendly to all. She love her toys when i say where's the ball, get it, she immediately finds and get it for you.😀 she is a happy dog!
"They adore humans and like to be close to them "I agree with that so much I have my maltease puppy for a week now and he likes to fall asleep on me or by my feet so cute
Miss my Maltese so much😥best companion ever . It broke my heart when I had to put her to rest . 12 years of pure unconditional love . Miss you forever molly . Been 8weeks. Miss you So much 💔😢😢😢
My Maltese is my first puppy 🐶 In USA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Very fun and energetic 8month old And Cleve And is already the protector of our family 😇😁 And acute senses of her surroundings🤔 She is fearless of bigger dog’s 😳 behind the glass window 🚙 Love ❤️ her.!
Me too our maltese died because he wont stop pooping blood and then he passed away yesterday my siblings cant stop crying... he was with us for only 3 months.... so short😔
I know how you feel when my Maltese dog Nui passed away I felt like I couldn't go on without her and I found out the best remedy for me was to get another Maltese dog it was only about 4 months before we got our dog Angel and she helped me to get over losing my dog Nui and she has brought us so much joy and happiness I wish I could have gotten Angel sooner because I was so sad when Nui had passed away and bringing Angel into our Home helped me get over the grief I had been going through. I can't believe it was the right direction to buy Angel she was what I needed to feel good about life again!
I had two Maltese babies, recently I lost my younger one. 😭 my older one she has such an alpha personality, no matter where we go & what size of a dog is there, she establishes her dominance & makes sure the other dog realizes & accepts that she is the boss.
I'm so excited. Will be picking my rescue Maltese up in a few days. I just need to remember to be more delicate with her than the more sturdy Victim Frise I had for 17 years. My heart is all a flutter.
Just received a twenty-week-old Maltese. Adheres to its puppy pad fairly well. Like to nip on fingers though, providing toy. Your video is quite informative and I hace learned much. Thank you.
I had my first perfect joy little boy maltese for 18 years. I waited 17 years to get him when I first fell in love with the breed. Then the next was a little girl and she lived 17 years. It was with her that I decided to raise them so got another little boy and girl and raised them for 8 years. And at one time had nine of them. There were all a total joy. They live a long happy healthy life. They are devoted little companions. The one fact that you left out is that they were also known to be temple dogs and healers. And they do have this wonderful capacity to absorb negative energy and transmute it. I no longer have maltese or any dog . But they live on in my heart. As the song goes .. "You belong to my heart now and forever..."
I got my 1st maltese 15 years ago. My husband brought him home to keep me company since he was on the road 4 days a week. I never cared much for dogs at all. But this dog was so different and sweet. I fell in love with him. I put him to sleep 2 years ago. That was a very hard day. He was so painful, I had to let him go. Maltese is the only dog for me. In a month my new maltese will be mine! Oh happy day!
I Loved my Maltese Snickerdoodles more than anything in the World. He was the best furbaby I ever had. He ended up with a mass on his Liver and I had no idea. I am so lost without him. If you are looking for a small furbaby I can say the Maltese is the most wonderful-loyal-loving breathing animal II have ever experienced. RIP Sweet Boy! ❤️
Layla Dawg I’m sorry for your loss😢 I loss my poodle he was 17 yrs old just last august ! I now have a Maltese mix she’s sweet and just turned 1 yr old Only issue is she sheds . I hope u get a fur baby soon to help ease your pain It takes time even with a new fur baby Edit : Her name is Lola
I understand just how you feel. Through my life , I've had several dogs that I loved very much , but accepted that they ad lived a good life when they passed away. My last one was Franklin , a little 6 lb Maltese whom I loved dearly . There was the strongest bond I ever had . He lived to 15 in good health until the last few months of his life. He loved to go on the 5 hour drive to my daughter's in East Texas . He'd sleep on the way and must have recognized when we got into town , because he'd wake right up and watching out the window as we made the winding turns to her home.
I call my dog security, because he follows where ever I go, he comes in between my husband when my hubby shows me affection. He barks when we are playing around(We got our Maltese when we started dating). He’s defiant, smart, funny and inpatient he has a love hate relationship with my husband. I tell him to stay in the bed when I go down stairs, I can hear him walking near the stairs, because of his bell. Whenever he hears me walking near the stairs he goes run to his bed , like he was their the entire time.
I have had 2 Maltese dogs the first one I had adopted her when she was 16 years old her name was Nui and she passed away when she was 20 years old and she died on January 4th,2021. My Son Chad and I were heartbroken and she was the love of our lives. We bought another Maltese dog in April 2021 her name is 😇 Angel she loves to dance and she is very warm and cuddly and she hates getting a bath she's the best thing in our lives and she loves My Son Chad and sticks to him like a magnet and I hope she will outlive me because I couldn't stand for another dog to die it's too heartbreaking ❣️
Maltese dogs are very good at outsmarting you and your dog believe me I know because our dog Angel does all kinds of crazy things like knocking the little fence down and when I ask her what happened she looks at My Son like he was the one who knocked down the fence and tries to look very innocent
I can understand what you mean our dog Angel tries to fool us when I tell her to stay in her bed and I walk away for a few minutes and I know she is waiting by my bedroom door and I open it she jumps back in her bed like she was there the whole time.
My pal Snowy loves to jump from couch to the chairs too! Loves a bath then tearing around bouncing off all the furniture! Then likes to warm up in her bed by the fire in the wintertime♡ Cutest wee angel I've ever had the pleasure to know & love!❤🐾❄
My aikita stole my heart. She 's litterly a part of me, I just love her and love to have her with me all of the time. She's a blessing and yes she seems fearless of big 🐕, always barking at them. I don't let her though and I always keep an eye on her.
My Maltese Izzie has separation anxiety. I make sure to leave her clothes with my scent on them in her kennel when I leave for work. She is always by side.
My Luna-pie has been with us for 3 years now and I can't imagine my life without her. I have never met such an affectionate, loving, playful, sweet and overall just incredible dog. If you're thinking of getting a maltese, I have only one thing to tell you... DO IT.
My Maltese is so adorable. She follows me every where. She hates to be alone even though I have 3 other small dogs with her. She is so affectionate and eager to please. I absolutely love her.
My Tinker Toy is the best boy ever. His daddy was Tink-a-roo. Tink-a-roo was only 4.5 lbs and such a lover boy. He passed away and I'm so glad l kept his son. Tinker Toy is so handsome. He went out on a date with a white yorkie named Sofia. She fell madly in love with him. Afterwards, just the mention of his name, sent Sofia running to the front door to see if he came to see her again. Ha ha ha
We have adopted a senior Maltese who barks at my husband. He is interested in him but will not let him pick him up. We adore him and have had him 4 months. When he is happy he break dances on his back.
Idk if it’s her separation anxiety that made me love my maltese as much as my own daughter but ever since she got brought home and stays next to my foot everywhere i go i miss her every time im not with her. Cutest puppy ever. Going on 2 years.
"My Toby" my sweet, angel Maltese was my Best Boy! I loved (love) him so and he returned that love a thousand fold in so many ways! He was so very very gentle, and so fearless too!, When our older dog who became cranky would bark, almost snap at Toby when he walked by, Toby would just stroll around again, right in front of him! Yet, as stated, gentle as a lamb! My Toby developed epilepsy, and suffered so! One evening into the next day, he suffered so many seizures, he was "just a shell," the vet told us. To this day I miss him still and it's been over two years! They steal yr heart, so please, please, God, let All Dogs Go To Heaven. I read once we grieve for our furbabies often the same as for people in our lives. This is due to "people connections" being complicated very often, and not so With Our Furbabies!!! Long live ALL YOUR FURBABIES!!! GOD BLESS US ALL, THEM TOO!!!!!!!!
I had 4 through the years. They are so lovable. Loyal doggies and playful even when they are old. I tend to love them to much and when they go to doggywood, I die to.😢😢😢😢😢
Maltese were my first two dogs. I believe in having a minimum of two dogs. That way they have canine companions and are not alone. I got a male first. He was in a local pet store and came from a family that has a lot of champion Maltese. This was 1992 and the puppy mills were just beginning to send them all over the country. Two years later I got a female. They were both spayed and neutered so there was no danger there. They were happy, healthy pups and lived into their middle teens. I actually was looking for a female poodle and they suggested a Maltese. I picked him up and he kissed me. That was it! When I brought the female home she desperately tried to get the male to play. His nose was out of joint for the first two days. On the third day he was laying on the couch and she jumped up and got a hold of his beard. He looked at me and I told him it was a good idea to go with it. He jumped down and they were off and running doing puppy zooms. They were so much fun. The only downside to the breed is the expense of a groomer and lots of brushing. I have had six dogs since then and miss the Maltese. The first few years I could not see a Maltese puppy without tears. Now I finally can look and not feel the pain. Queen Elizabeth II said that grief is the price we pay for all the love we receive. I agree
I am in a wheelchair and have 2 beautiful Maltese puppies that I adore. I lost my Yorkie a few years ago and as a person with severe allergies I am amazed that I have absolutely no problems with my adorable boys. They are definitely picky eaters and will go without rather than eat something they do not like.
We have had three of these sweet pups. They are the best watch dog you can have. They also have long memories. If you do something with them just once and they liked the activity they will try to get you to do it again. Maltese understands who’s turn it is. If we are giving treats to three dogs our boy Baby Cruz watches and if you go out of turn he has something to say about it.
My Maltese are crazy about water and had to be trained not to jump in the pool without permission. My female is so bad, she even plays in the water bowl in the kitchen keeping the floor around it wet all the time.
I had a Maltese years ago. She was so darn smart! Her name was Nia. When my daughter was little, Nia was bought for her. I am serious the day I taught her to play dead & the 1st time she did it ... SHE HELD her Breath!! How in the world she knew to do that!? Nia also began helping my daughter with chores of pushing the under the sink trash. The trash can was on a sliding wire container. One day after school my daughter had taken the full trash bag out from the container then replaced it with a clean bag Nia was setting there watching as she did every time the chore was done. This day my daughter ask her Nia, Do want to help me? She stood on her back legs pushed the wire basket back then jumped behind the cabinet door & pushed it shut! I could go on & on about Nia & the absolutely amazing things she would surprise us by doing. She has been gone for many years now.. But I still miss her so. I want to get another Maltese. But there will never be another Nia.. R I P little girl.
OMG! I am still grieving my dog's death. He was 15 years old when I put him to sleep. It was so hard, but the vet told me that he was suffering. Good dog but, I know that I gave him a good life he was my boy! Miss you Cookie dough.
I'm not a dog lover, but I have just qualified as a fitness instructor, and my coach would bring her Maltese dog into our class. I absolutely fell in love with the dog. Hence why I'm on this page, ffs lol.
My Maltese , was my sister. But my sister couldn’t take care of the Dog. The Dog was ready for me ! the new owner, she is Soo sweet. The Dog is female, she is sweet. And Loved!
We have a Maltese chihuahua mix but I now see he has many Maltese traits. Loving, sweet, fearless and energetic and definitely a jumper. He’s named Kricket and he was named before we realized he’s a jumper lol. Very aptly named. He’s by baby 🐶
Jasmin A oh I have a Malchi too her name is Lola sweet and loves to jump too.. She has a lot of the Maltese traits My only issue is shedding !!! Do you have this issue as well ?
Yes I think that’s the one chihuahua trait he does have 😩 but I love him so much I don’t mind his beige hair on my clothes lol. His father is a white Maltese and his mom is a little black and brown chihuahua but my little boy is a beautiful beige color. From his head to about halfway down his body he’s Maltese and then his bottom half is not chihuahua.
Jasmin A yes they are so sweet ! So Lolas mom is Maltese and poodle she’s white and the dad is chihuahua and he’s a beige tan color .. Lola looks mostly Maltese.. Very sweet dogs I agree
My cousin Amy gave my mom a Maltese. She was 3 weeks old she is so cute. She named her Jasmine but I call her Nugget. Cause she’s so little. I just love coming over to play with her. We are so blessed we have her.
Yes, this is very accurate. I have a second maltese now. They are really alive! 😂 Our puppy is really bitey and can get really crazy sometimes. It's only almost 10 weeks old now, so I believe he will mostly grow out of it 😌 or more like I hope he will get a bit calmer 😅
These dogs also have a special gift of making you fall deeply in love with them. They literally feel like one of your kids, I swear lol
True man. I have a 7-month-old puppy and he is my baby...
Agreed. I had one and I miss him
The comments are so true my little mate is now 14yr old and I love him so much

So true. Unfortunately mine passed away last Thursday and since then I've been shattered. If you told me 15 yrs ago that I would be unconsolable after losing a little 10lb dog I would've thought you were crazy. She changed me so much. I used to be this big 6'4" 250 pound bad ass and now I'm just a big softie and have no shame in saying so.

A Maltese cannot leave its mother for 12 weeks. 7 weeks is WAY too early. No reputable breeder allows a puppy Maltese to go at 7 weeks.

After grieving over the loss of little (Maltese) Toto, I drove for 3 hrs to adopt an older Maltese. He sleeps all the time, with a little tongue that hangs out due to no teeth. He has become my pet that is definitely not a protector, as he only barks when he hears the clink of his feeding bowl. Now an older babe!
Thank you for adopting an old dog!
Interesting. I did the same thing. After raising my Maltese girl to 16 years and 11 days, after she passed, I rescued 2 senior, bonded dogs someone dropped off at 13 years old. Best thing I ever did second only to getting my first baby.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awwh Maltese pups are SO cute! Plus these facts are pawesome!
Nice
I just got my first Maltese and I am trying to learn everything for him to be a healthy, happy dog. Have I mentioned I fell in love with him immediately.
Mrs Rhonda Williams I got my dog from a family who has a few Maltese closed to my city. I am sorry for the late reply.
The first dog I ever loved was a Maltese. He lived 15 years and I lost a part of my heart when he left us. We now have another Maltese and I am absolutely in love with him. He is such a goofball and sweet dog. Very sensitive too.
I just adopted my first maltese puppy. And boy oh boy is he a handful at 3 months old. This video is spot on about their personality traits.
Always underfoot...sits in bathroom while I'm going
Follows me to all rooms of house...sleeps in bed with me...
My dog dose that to
Cuddles close to me in bed. Gotta move her every time I have to roll over!
...And I LOVE it!!!! 🤍

My Maltese lived 15 years, almost a year since she crossed the rainbow bridge … loved her so much, but what a mess … lol … miss that little mess!
Diana Clarkson may her memories live on!
awwwee she's in a better place now :D may her memories live on
Oh dear big loss 😪 i buy in March my girl and i cant live without her for this moment she is whole my world ❤️❤️😘but my first girl (not maltese) died years ago and i hope she is in better place🐾🐾
Im so sorry for your loss. I’m sure it’s as hard today as it was a year ago. My two beautiful bouncy Malteses went over the Rainbow Bridge 6 months apart…the recent was this past Saturday. They were truly my babies. 11 and 12 years old. There is a cloud of Maltese pups where all you can see are big black eyes and noses…I want to live on that cloud! 🐶❤️🌈
So sorry for your loss! ❤️ So tough to lose one of our little fur baby loves.
"Picky eater" is an understatement. Snacks and treats are a hit or miss....my cupboard is full of them. What the hell am I going to do with them all? I can't eat them.
I have a picky cat that is allergic to the majority of regular cat food. In result, not only I have to spend a fortune in hypoallergenic treats, but he also gets bored of them, and doesn’t eat all the new ones I buy. So I have to keep trying new ones, just so he gets bored and leave them aside 🙄🤷🏼♀️ I donate the ones that he doesn’t eat to a shelter. Maybe you could do the same?
Mine is very picky eater. I make his food now! Expensive but dam worth every penny!
Lol find a friend w a big dog and share!!! That's what I do
Neighbors love me!!
My Maltese are very picky eater too. They don’t eat their dry dog food unless I sprinkle our table food in their bowls. So I cooked chicken or beef vegetables soup to mix with their dry dog foods and they love it. We are the dog lovers
Sharing my grief with others who have lost their Maltese children. We had two girls, Rosie (Posie) and Daisy (Maisy). They were four years apart in age and from different birth families but sisters all the same in our family. We lost Rosie in 2014 at age 15 due to diabetes and Daisy will have been gone one year ago this month (May 2020) after being euthanized at age 16 from declining health due to kidney failure.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss my canine kids, especially when I see others in my neighborhood outside walking with theirs. At first, I wanted to get another Maltese but realize now doing so would disrespect the memories and wonderful years I had with our girls who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Looking forward to seeing them again one day and not be separated any longer.
Thanks for reading.
I bet you’d give another dog a great home. You should have that in your life again!
I feel the same. I had two dogs too. My older sweet boy died of diabetic complications when he was 13. His "brother" was 10 years old then. He got to be 17 for almost 3 months before he died on Dec. 17th of 2020. I was hoping for more years with him. He was so lively until his last couple of weeks. But through it all, he was a trooper. Just like his brother. I miss them so much. There's no way to replace him or his brother.
I feel the same way . These dogs are irreplaceable .🥲 I had my Heidi for 14 years , she also died of kidney failure. She was born deaf & I think that affected her in many ways as she was more hyper than most Malteses i’ve had many dogs whom I’ve hello, but she had such a special place in my heart that I knew I could never replace her. It wouldn’t be fair to try to compare her to another dog so, being an animal lover that I am, I decided I would get a cat instead. Unfortunately I still have to compare this cat with my Maltese & I know that isn’t fair. I guess I am just lucky to have had this wonderful creature in my life. I miss her so much ! 😢❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to hear of all the diabetes of these and other tiny dogs. Wondering which vaccines were given? I' concerned about autoimmune diseases (Type 1 DM is autoimmune) and so I am only having my Maltese get required rabies every 3 years. Also giving probiotics, but wondering what regime others have been on who got diabetes. My Maltese developed generalized petechiae a week after rabies, and as she gets older now I'm on y guard!
@@finallythere100 You are smart to be weary and observant. A lot of the US veterans from the Gulf War were way over vaxxed going into war and many have autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. Sometimes specific dogs just like people are very sensitive to vaccines.
My Maltese runs my household. She’s in charge of my other two dogs and makes sure that they know that I belong to HER. Such a character. Best dogs ever. Smart and full of personality
I love, love, love the Maltese🥰 I’ve had two and want another one as they are loving & lovable, sweet, intelligent, cuddly & fun!
My Maltese died last year 2019 in September she was 20 years old. I got a new little Maltese she part of a show line and easy work with!
I am sure u miss your Maltese who have just passed on left u with great memories of fun and laughter the are Considered blessed pet
💕
OMG, sorry for your loss.. Mine went to doggy heaven 1 year ago, & I haven't been able or willing to have another pet. I'm still mourning/hurting😥
Аleksei Dawn Gren I hope mine can live that long, she’s turning 13🥺
@@veronicaalmaguer1916 I know what you mean, I lost my Prince the day after Easter last year. He was 15 and was the 2nd love of my life. My husband died and 2 years later I adopted Him, He had Pancreatitis. I cant get over losing him, I cry every day.
Thank you for the information.
Oh man, How I miss my "Little white cloud"😥. I had my Scotty for 15 years, & how I LOVED him so... My maltese companion, my baby boy... It's been a year now that he went to doggy heaven, & it hurts like if it were yesterday. Ya'll enjoy & LOVE your "lil white clouds".. they are such beautiful dogs👍
Veronica Almaguer
Hi hun I'm so sorry for your loss I just lost my baby 2 weeks ago and it feels like I can't breathe at times I could just imagine what you're going through and I know it sounds cliche but just try to remember all the love that you gave your baby and the love you got back and let that help you heal even though I know it seems impossible I hope you find some peace and you heal your heart❤
My Maltese is named pinball . She is the best thing that ever happened to me I was diagnosed with parkinson's disease and got depressed got her and she's the best therapy I've had yet
Pinball. Cute. I bought my wife one but he s got me under his little finger lol
My 1st Maltese made me love all canines in general. She has been gone for over 4 years but I think about her everyday and she is buried in a beautiful pet cemetery. Now have a 2 year old Maltese that I got when she was a baby and have showered her with love ever since!
C Estrada
Is it in Hartsdale Ny. My babies are there and the family are the best people.. I just lost my precious CC 2 weeks ago and it's so hard but knowing that she's buried there is such a comfort and knowing how well the family took care of her in the process has helped heal some of my pain but I miss her so desperately
I love allergies free and don’t shed, I got him from the adoption center at 10 yrs old, I was surprised how active and playful he is, I don’t believe in crates, my home is their home. I am so happy I love him so much. He is a joy to our family
She wakes up, sleeps on my moms bed, sleeps on the floor, sleep on the couch, then eat, the sleep on my bed
Repeat
Try adding an ounce of sardines or tuna to his meals. The dog food does not provide enough energy.
I L O V E Maltese! I've been Blessed to own this breed. I love females, they have big personalities, very loyal and loving. They are very brave and fearless. My "Lucy" lived 11 years...miss her very much. Great video, thank you! 🐾🐾
So short. Why can’t god give these beautiful creatures at least 30 years.
my maltese tried barking away this giant husky in a mall once, the husky just looked at him and then walked away so i can attest to them being fearless lmao
Yes mine scares away bigger dogs aswell. Also sniffs others and don't let others sniff her. A bit egoistic. 😂
My Maltese is only 4.5 pounds and she's much more personable than i ever expected. Sbe was expensive and worth every penny.
I love my dog as well. no shedding, or anything. he was expensive as well but its worth it because they are so cute and sweet!
Mine is only 3lbs n will bark right in a pitbulls face in a second 🤣 shes a rescue she wasn't being adopted bc of her age shes 7 no one wanted an older dog but what they dont realize is that the senior dogs are the easier ones! Shes so affectionate n calm n already house trained at 7yrs old they literally dont need anything but love n attention!
@Aleine Çıbıkçı awe how sweet!! I really think older rescues are the best they are so loving n appreciative of attention!
Wow I got my Maltese for free
Jennifer Santana from where??
4:08 omg yes my baby jumps from couch to couch😂😂
I lost my precious Maltese to heart failure a month ago. He was the best dog and I miss him so much. Sweetest love ever❤️
my maltese is scared of EVERYTHING. every little noise, new people, dogs etc. you name it she's scared of it.😂
You need to socialize your dog
🤣🤣🤣
My Maltese is scared of flies lol
@@ShewolfxVix lmao
My Maltese named Brooklyn is very peaceful. She is beautiful and a excellent companion. She relates to human's well.
Katey, or “Kit-kat,” as I like to call her, has been with my family now for 11 years. She doesn’t like other dogs that much, yet she is extremely loyal to me and my parents. She suffers from separation anxiety, yet she’s a really great dog. Her personality is really unique.
Bella my 2 yr. old Maltese is a blessing ! Grateful that I rescued her.
I had a Maltipoo, I got him when he was 15 years old. I took him with me to most of the places and all trips. I even would take him to some of the restaurants (off course places with outside sitting) he would stay put on the chair, never on the floors. He was so well behaved that he was almost unnoticed by others. His grooming was done monthly and at home I kept up with his hygiene daily.
Due to his age he got completely blind and he fell the bed getting hurt. Took him to a Vet who prescribed a medication which killed him in less than 2 hours.
Bless you … mine crossed the rainbow bridge blind at 15 … she had a series of strokes/seizures … the first leaving her blind in one eye, then another that left her completely blind … she lived blind for several months … the last seizure was horrid, she never came out of it!
I am so sorry this happened to you and your little dog. My Maltese was with me for 15 years and always by my side . I'm almost 80 and just know It would be hard to have another little dog , unless it was a Maltese.
It has been hard for me too to thinking about replacing him. Although, lately I am having a change of a heart 💔❤️. Their little sweet faces are inresistable.
Thank you for all your kind words.
I Luv My 9 Year Old Maltichon Timmy & He thinks He's a Pitiful & Timmy is Fearless
They are fiercely loyal and protective, super intelligent, and can be quite stubborn and headstrong... I've had other breeds, but my maltese were the BEST dogs I had ever had.
For me the Maltese is the BEST breed, loving, funny, playful, did I say loving? And for my 7 pound little girl fearless is an understatement😆
Never leave them alone in the yard. They are very delicate dogs and can hurt themselves. They are wonderful. We have a Maltipoo. Keep their eyes clean, too.
How do u keep their eyes clean?
How do you clean their eyes?
Warm water and soft cotton pads, then use a small fine tooth comb gently on the area around their eyes. Takes the boogers right out.
I had my precious little three pound Maltese for 18 yrs. she was perfect and I still miss her!🐾🐾😍
Awe sorry shes gone but I'm sure 18 years was worth every second of life you shared with her was AMAZING
Can you refer me to where you bought her? I'm in Los Angeles but will travel.
awww. im gonna get a maltese soon . thxs for the beautiful info
My maltese dog, snow is very friendly to all. She love her toys when i say where's the ball, get it, she immediately finds and get it for you.😀 she is a happy dog!
Aww I love you and Your channel
"They adore humans and like to be close to them "I agree with that so much I have my maltease puppy for a week now and he likes to fall asleep on me or by my feet so cute
Miss my Maltese so much😥best companion ever . It broke my heart when I had to put her to rest . 12 years of pure unconditional love . Miss you forever molly . Been 8weeks. Miss you
So much 💔😢😢😢
My Maltese is my first puppy 🐶
In USA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very fun and energetic 8month old
And Cleve
And is already the protector of our family 😇😁
And acute senses of her surroundings🤔
She is fearless of bigger dog’s 😳 behind the glass window 🚙
Love ❤️ her.!
my maltese just passed away today.....she's been with me for 4 years......i miss her so much......i can't stop crying...
Oh I am so sorry!!!
why 4 years? don't they get to be like 10 years
Me too our maltese died because he wont stop pooping blood and then he passed away yesterday my siblings cant stop crying... he was with us for only 3 months.... so short😔
OMG? Im so very sori we lost 2 dogs 1 is shih tzu maltese poodle 2nd was a big one Kelpie Cross killed by my neighbous pig dog!!!
Actually i got his son 9 1/2 yrs old with me i loved him so soo much😁🙏🐕👍!!!
I cant live without my maltese bela❣️
My Maltese is named Bella too what a small world
Ayyy that’s crazy me too
I know how you feel when my Maltese dog Nui passed away I felt like I couldn't go on without her and I found out the best remedy for me was to get another Maltese dog it was only about 4 months before we got our dog Angel and she helped me to get over losing my dog Nui and she has brought us so much joy and happiness I wish I could have gotten Angel sooner because I was so sad when Nui had passed away and bringing Angel into our Home helped me get over the grief I had been going through.
I can't believe it was the right direction to buy Angel she was what I needed to feel good about life again!
@@rosemary6245 My beloved Ramses passed away last month and im planning getting another Maltes too .. ❤️
My maltese always jump anywhere and she wants all my attentions.Always followed me everywhere in my condo.🐶😂She’s so cute and a sweetheart.🥰
I had two Maltese babies, recently I lost my younger one. 😭
my older one she has such an alpha personality, no matter where we go & what size of a dog is there, she establishes her dominance & makes sure the other dog realizes & accepts that she is the boss.
Sorry for your loss. My Maltese is bat ish crazy but i love him. If he likes u great but hes stranger danger when outside.
I'm so excited. Will be picking my rescue Maltese up in a few days. I just need to remember to be more delicate with her than the more sturdy Victim Frise I had for 17 years. My heart is all a flutter.
Video: Maltese is smart and fearless
Me: yeah my Maltese has autism
How is that?
Interesting, how and at what age did you find out???
@@chiquitabee1 thats called sarcasm
Same
Mine is autist too aswell
Just received a twenty-week-old Maltese. Adheres to its puppy pad fairly well. Like to nip on fingers though, providing toy. Your video is quite informative and I hace learned much. Thank you.
I had my first perfect joy little boy maltese for 18 years. I waited 17 years to get him when I first fell in love with the breed. Then the next was a little girl and she lived 17 years. It was with her that I decided to raise them so got another little boy and girl and raised them for 8 years. And at one time had nine of them. There were all a total joy. They live a long happy healthy life. They are devoted little companions. The one fact that you left out is that they were also known to be temple dogs and healers. And they do have this wonderful capacity to absorb negative energy and transmute it. I no longer have maltese or any dog . But they live on in my heart. As the song goes .. "You belong to my heart now and forever..."
I got my 1st maltese 15 years ago. My husband brought him home to keep me company since he was on the road 4 days a week. I never cared much for dogs at all. But this dog was so different and sweet. I fell in love with him. I put him to sleep 2 years ago. That was a very hard day. He was so painful, I had to let him go. Maltese is the only dog for me. In a month my new maltese will be mine! Oh happy day!
I Loved my Maltese Snickerdoodles more than anything in the World. He was the best furbaby I ever had. He ended up with a mass on his Liver and I had no idea. I am so lost without him. If you are looking for a small furbaby I can say the Maltese is the most wonderful-loyal-loving breathing animal II have ever experienced. RIP Sweet Boy! ❤️
Layla Dawg I’m sorry for your loss😢 I loss my poodle he was 17 yrs old just last august ! I now have a Maltese mix she’s sweet and just turned 1 yr old
Only issue is she sheds . I hope u get a fur baby soon to help ease your pain
It takes time even with a new fur baby
Edit : Her name is Lola
I understand just how you feel. Through my life , I've had several dogs that I loved very much , but accepted that they ad lived a good life when they passed away. My last one was Franklin , a little 6 lb Maltese whom I loved dearly . There was the strongest bond I ever had . He lived to 15 in good health until the last few months of his life. He loved to go on the 5 hour drive to my daughter's in East Texas . He'd sleep on the way and must have recognized when we got into town , because he'd wake right up and watching out the window as we made the winding turns to her home.
Hi-Thank You! Sorry for the passing of your furbaby! ❤️ Generally, Maltese do not shed ... it must be the mixed part! What is Lola mixed with?
Hi- I am also Sorry for the passing of your Sweet Franklin! Are you going to get another Maltese?
@@jai7184 hello
I own 3 Maltese dogs and this video is very accurate.
My much beloved Maltese have this features. Thanks for sharing this clips on Maltese.
I call my dog security, because he follows where ever I go, he comes in between my husband when my hubby shows me affection. He barks when we are playing around(We got our Maltese when we started dating). He’s defiant, smart, funny and inpatient he has a love hate relationship with my husband. I tell him to stay in the bed when I go down stairs, I can hear him walking near the stairs, because of his bell. Whenever he hears me walking near the stairs he goes run to his bed , like he was their the entire time.
That is the cutest I really want a Maltese one question though is it fine to buy a Maltese for your apartment. Will it be too cramped
I have had 2 Maltese dogs the first one I had adopted her when she was 16 years old her name was Nui and she passed away when she was 20 years old and she died on January 4th,2021.
My Son Chad and I were heartbroken and she was the love of our lives.
We bought another Maltese dog in April 2021 her name is 😇 Angel she loves to dance and she is very warm and cuddly and she hates getting a bath she's the best thing in our lives and she loves My Son Chad and sticks to him like a magnet and I hope she will outlive me because I couldn't stand for another dog to die it's too heartbreaking ❣️
Maltese dogs are very good at outsmarting you and your dog believe me I know because our dog Angel does all kinds of crazy things like knocking the little fence down and when I ask her what happened she looks at My Son like he was the one who knocked down the fence and tries to look very innocent
I can understand what you mean our dog Angel tries to fool us when I tell her to stay in her bed and I walk away for a few minutes and I know she is waiting by my bedroom door and I open it she jumps back in her bed like she was there the whole time.
My pal Snowy loves to jump from couch to the chairs too! Loves a bath then tearing around bouncing off all the furniture! Then likes to warm up in her bed by the fire in the wintertime♡ Cutest wee angel I've ever had the pleasure to know & love!❤🐾❄
I love big dogs but malteses are so cute and cuddly!
I almost died from the adorableness 😍😍😂 I think I might have to get one of these 🥺
I have a Maltese! He is very crazy and is 1 year old. Thanks for the facts!😃
I watch this as my Maltese sits on my chest 😂
SAME
Poppy 1157 My too. They like to walk on my chest.
Mine is standing on my stomach 😂
Haha same!!
Maltese are adorable dog😍
Fearless and loving so intelligent and intrinsic. She makes me laugh when she shows her attitude which reminds me so much of humans❤️❤️❤️
An adorable breed ☺️
I thought the clingyness was something my dog had because of her dognality but now I realize that it comes with her being a Maltese 😂
This breed gives so much affection! I named mine Faith. 🎉What a blessing to bring just about everywhere.
We have a 1 year old maltese and he is the sweetest boy !!!
The listen and can make your day turn out perfect when thing do not work out that day
My aikita stole my heart. She 's litterly a part of me, I just love her and love to have her with me all of the time. She's a blessing and yes she seems fearless of big 🐕, always barking at them.
I don't let her though and I always keep an eye on her.
My Maltese Izzie has separation anxiety. I make sure to leave her clothes with my scent on them in her kennel when I leave for work. She is always by side.
My neighbors niece has a maltese I instantly fell in love lol
I NEED TO GET ANOTHER ONE. I MISS MY LIL' MAN!
I had one when I was a kid. It lived to be 12 years old. I think he weighed ~14 pounds so obviously spoiled. Smart dog.
My Luna-pie has been with us for 3 years now and I can't imagine my life without her. I have never met such an affectionate, loving, playful, sweet and overall just incredible dog. If you're thinking of getting a maltese, I have only one thing to tell you... DO IT.
I have a Maltese and boy she is smart. Sometimes I have to pause because she is unbelievable. I love her!🌸🎀
I have a maltipoo (my profile picture) and he's the most energetic & fearless pup ever. I love him more than words can explain!
My Maltese is so adorable. She follows me every where. She hates to be alone even though I have 3 other small dogs with her. She is so affectionate and eager to please. I absolutely love her.
Gentle, loving, obedient and fearless... that's totally my Zuko. He is the sweetest boy. ♥️
My Tinker Toy is the best boy ever.
His daddy was Tink-a-roo. Tink-a-roo was only 4.5 lbs and such a lover boy. He passed away and I'm so glad l kept his son.
Tinker Toy is so handsome.
He went out on a date with a white yorkie named Sofia.
She fell madly in love with him.
Afterwards, just the mention of his name, sent Sofia running to the front door to see if he came to see her again. Ha ha ha
We have adopted a senior Maltese who barks at my husband. He is interested in him but will not let him pick him up. We adore him and have had him 4 months. When he is happy he break dances on his back.
I love this video!!! I’ve been trying to decide what small dog I’d love to get and this video informed my decision 😄💙🥺
Hope you got one?
Idk if it’s her separation anxiety that made me love my maltese as much as my own daughter but ever since she got brought home and stays next to my foot everywhere i go i miss her every time im not with her. Cutest puppy ever. Going on 2 years.
"My Toby" my sweet, angel Maltese was my Best Boy! I loved (love) him so and he returned that love a thousand fold in so many ways! He was so very very gentle, and so fearless too!,
When our older dog who became cranky would bark, almost snap at Toby when he walked by, Toby would just stroll around again, right in front
of him!
Yet, as stated, gentle as a lamb!
My Toby developed epilepsy, and suffered so! One evening into the
next day, he suffered so many seizures, he was "just a shell," the
vet told us. To this day I miss him still and it's been over two years!
They steal yr heart, so please,
please, God, let All Dogs Go To Heaven. I read once we grieve for
our furbabies often the same as for people in our lives. This is due to "people connections" being complicated very often, and not
so With Our Furbabies!!!
Long live ALL YOUR FURBABIES!!!
GOD BLESS US ALL, THEM TOO!!!!!!!!
I had 4 through the years. They are so lovable. Loyal doggies and playful even when they are old. I tend to love them to much and when they go to doggywood, I die to.😢😢😢😢😢
Maltese were my first two dogs. I believe in having a minimum of two dogs. That way they have canine companions and are not alone. I got a male first. He was in a local pet store and came from a family that has a lot of champion Maltese. This was 1992 and the puppy mills were just beginning to send them all over the country. Two years later I got a female. They were both spayed and neutered so there was no danger there. They were happy, healthy pups and lived into their middle teens. I actually was looking for a female poodle and they suggested a Maltese. I picked him up and he kissed me. That was it! When I brought the female home she desperately tried to get the male to play. His nose was out of joint for the first two days. On the third day he was laying on the couch and she jumped up and got a hold of his beard. He looked at me and I told him it was a good idea to go with it. He jumped down and they were off and running doing puppy zooms. They were so much fun. The only downside to the breed is the expense of a groomer and lots of brushing. I have had six dogs since then and miss the Maltese. The first few years I could not see a Maltese puppy without tears. Now I finally can look and not feel the pain. Queen Elizabeth II said that grief is the price we pay for all the love we receive. I agree
I am in a wheelchair and have 2 beautiful Maltese puppies that I adore. I lost my Yorkie a few years ago and as a person with severe allergies I am amazed that I have absolutely no problems with my adorable boys. They are definitely picky eaters and will go without rather than eat something they do not like.
So cute
We have had three of these sweet pups. They are the best watch dog you can have.
They also have long memories. If you do something with them just once and they liked the activity they will try to get you to do it again.
Maltese understands who’s turn it is. If we are giving treats to three dogs our boy Baby Cruz watches and if you go out of turn he has something to say about it.
It's so interesting learning about the two different breeds. We have a shihzu mixed Maltese. She's more on the shihzu side.
Yes, so true!😊
Let us know what specific characteristic your Maltese dog has. Or if you don’t have one, are you planning to get a Maltese soon in the future?
My Maltese are crazy about water and had to be trained not to jump in the pool without permission. My female is so bad, she even plays in the water bowl in the kitchen keeping the floor around it wet all the time.
@@mdodson8336 My older dog hates water and swimming haha
Don't know about my puppy though because she didn't swim yet
Dogs Wiz We have Maltese mix a Malchi and she has mostly Maltese traits except she sheds a lot !! Any advice is appreciated
I would love to get a Maltese but I haven't been able to find a reliable and trustworthy breeder. Does anyone know one in the Pacific North West?
I had a Maltese years ago. She was so darn smart! Her name was Nia. When my daughter was little, Nia was bought for her. I am serious the day I taught her to play dead & the 1st time she did it ... SHE HELD her Breath!! How in the world she knew to do that!? Nia also began helping my daughter with chores of pushing the under the sink trash. The trash can was on a sliding wire container. One day after school my daughter had taken the full trash bag out from the container then replaced it with a clean bag Nia was setting there watching as she did every time the chore was done. This day my daughter ask her Nia, Do want to help me? She stood on her back legs pushed the wire basket back then jumped behind the cabinet door & pushed it shut! I could go on & on about Nia & the absolutely amazing things she would surprise us by doing. She has been gone for many years now.. But I still miss her so. I want to get another Maltese. But there will never be another Nia.. R I P little girl.
I miss my Maltese dog
OMG! I am still grieving my dog's death. He was 15 years old when I put him to sleep. It was so hard, but the vet told me that he was suffering. Good dog but, I know that I gave him a good life he was my boy! Miss you Cookie dough.
I'm not a dog lover, but I have just qualified as a fitness instructor, and my coach would bring her Maltese dog into our class. I absolutely fell in love with the dog. Hence why I'm on this page, ffs lol.
My Maltese , was my sister. But my sister couldn’t take care of the Dog. The Dog was ready for me ! the new owner, she is Soo sweet. The Dog is female, she is sweet. And Loved!
Really thank
We have a Maltese chihuahua mix but I now see he has many Maltese traits. Loving, sweet, fearless and energetic and definitely a jumper. He’s named Kricket and he was named before we realized he’s a jumper lol. Very aptly named. He’s by baby 🐶
Jasmin A oh I have a Malchi too her name is Lola sweet and loves to jump too.. She has a lot of the Maltese traits
My only issue is shedding !!! Do you have this issue as well ?
Yes I think that’s the one chihuahua trait he does have 😩 but I love him so much I don’t mind his beige hair on my clothes lol. His father is a white Maltese and his mom is a little black and brown chihuahua but my little boy is a beautiful beige color. From his head to about halfway down his body he’s Maltese and then his bottom half is not chihuahua.
Jasmin A yes they are so sweet !
So Lolas mom is Maltese and poodle she’s white and the dad is chihuahua and he’s a beige tan color .. Lola looks mostly Maltese.. Very sweet dogs I agree
My cousin Amy gave my mom a Maltese. She was 3 weeks old she is so cute. She named her Jasmine but I call her Nugget. Cause she’s so little. I just love coming over to play with her. We are so blessed we have her.
Yes, this is very accurate. I have a second maltese now. They are really alive! 😂 Our puppy is really bitey and can get really crazy sometimes. It's only almost 10 weeks old now, so I believe he will mostly grow out of it 😌 or more like I hope he will get a bit calmer 😅
Definitely fearless. Mine barks a lot when seeing new dogs. Very clingy and loving. Always get super excited when we come home.
My lil guy lived 19 years , think about him all the time
My Maltese smiles when he meets new people. 😁
