Questions & Answers
Malteses are a joyful, small breed of dog. Known for their adorable cottony white hair and cute face, these dogs are loyal and loving companions. Originally from the Mediterranean island of Malta, the small and sturdy Maltese was bred as a comfort dog and is still valued as a loyal lapdog today. Malteses are extremely playful and intelligent, making them great companions. They love attention and need to have plenty of exercise and playtime, as well as regular grooming to keep their coat looking shiny and healthy.
The Maltese coat is a long, silky coat that is often referred to as hypoallergenic. It lays flat against their body and is characterized by no undercoat. Maltese coats are double-layered and do not shed. As such, they are among the cleanest dogs to own and require minimal grooming. The uppercoat is snowy white and the lowercoat is an incredibly fluffy, soft texture that can almost appear cottony. With consistent brushing, the coat will remain tangle, debris and dander-free.
Malteses can eat a variety of commercially prepared foods specifically designed for the breed. These foods should include the essential vitamins and minerals needed for the Maltese to stay healthy. Along with their commercial food, the Maltese can consume a few healthy treats including cooked vegetables, cheeses, fruits and vegetables, cooked eggs, and occasional low-fat meats. It's not recommended to feed the Maltese human food, as it could contain ingredients that could be harmful to the breed.
Preparing for your new Maltese can seem overwhelming at first, but doesn't have to be overwhelming. Before bringing your pup home, first start by deciding how you will provide for its basic needs, such as food, water, shelter, and medical care, as well as necessary items such as a crate, bed, toys, leashes and more. Secondly, if you haven't already, it is important to research and learn the breed's history and temperament so you know what to expect.
Malteses usually reach a maximum size of 7-9 inches at the shoulder, with weight ranges from 4-7 pounds. Some may be a bit larger, though most breeders consider it a flaw. Malteses are considered a toy breed, a breed of small dogs that were developed to be companion dogs and usually don't exceed 11 pounds, though it is possible for them to be slightly larger. In terms of size, Malteses typically come in just one size and are considered a relatively small breed.
Malteses are an energetic breed that can benefit from daily exercise. To keep your Maltese in good physical and mental shape, it is recommended to provide your pet with at least an hour of exercise per day. This may include a combination of activities such as going for regular walks, running in the backyard, or playing fetch with a ball. If your Maltese is a puppy or senior, the amount of exercise may differ from a full hour. It is important to work with your vet to determine an appropriate amount for your dog's needs.
Malteses have been a beloved part of many families for many years. They are friendly and loyal, and make excellent companions. Malteses love to play, and are known for their intelligence. They can learn tricks quickly, and often make a playful addition to any family. On top of being wonderfully friendly and intelligent, Malteses also make for low-maintenance dogs, due to their small stature. They are very easy to care for and can fit into even the smallest of spaces.
Absolutely! Malteses are exceptionally smart dogs and are consistent performers in obedience trials as well as agility, rally and other examinations. They rank among the top 20 smartest dog breeds according to canine experts, which is a testament to their intelligence. In addition, Malteses are highly trainable which makes them great family pets, since their owners can easily teach them basic commands and more. Malteses are also incredibly quick-witted and can easily grasp new concepts quickly. Further, they are also known for their excellent problem-solving skills and being very attentive and responsive to their owners.
