Maltese  Puppy Information

Maltese Puppy & Puppies Description
The
Maltese  puppy is a really unique looking dog, which boasts a very elegant
appearance and moves really gracefully. The Maltese Puppy is a adorable little toy dog
that has a compact but sturdy body, and with its flowing coat of hair comes across as
petite and very glamorous. The coat of these Maltese dogs is long, white, and very
silky. Some
 Maltese puppies may also have beige or yellow markings on the coat.

The face the Maltese is small, adorable, and sports an alert and intelligent
expression. Some Maltese dogs may have curly or woolly hair rather than
the typical smooth, silky hair. The skull of these dogs is slightly rounded,
and the black button nose and dark eyes stand out against the white face of
the animal.

Maltese  Dog Breed Temperament
Although the Maltese dog tend to be sweet, affectionate, and gentle in most
cases, he can also display a jealous streak as he tends to be very competitive
when it comes to getting attention. These Maltese puppies do not like to be treated
roughly, and it is therefore best not to have them around younger or
boisterous children. The Maltese breed can get on well with other animals providing
they don’t feel threatened by them. The Maltese dog is a very intelligent,
alert, and eager dog, but can be quite shy when it comes to meeting
strangers.

Maltese  Dog Height & weight
The Maltese dog tends to reach around nine to ten inches in height, and in
terms of weight will normally reach around four to six pounds.

Common health / behavioral problems
Although this dog breed is not really prone to many health problems, a
couple of the issues that may affect the health of these dogs include luxating
patella and eye problems.

Maltese  Puppy Training
The Maltese  puppies should not pose any problems when it comes to training, as this
breed is very eager, responsive, and intelligent, which makes life far easier
for the owner when it comes to training. As with all dogs breeds, however,
you should always exercise patience and understanding during the training
process.

Maltese Puppies Ideal living conditions
The Maltese puppy dog is a small, indoor toy dog, and does not need much space when
it comes to living conditions. This is a pet that would therefore fare just as
well in an apartment as in a house, and will be happy to amuse himself
indoors, as the breed does not require a great deal of exercise.

Maltese Puppy Exercise requirements
Maltese puppies do not require a great deal of exercise, and in most cases will be
happy to play and exercise indoors. However, these Maltese puppies do like some
activity, and will enjoy being taken for a daily walk, which should easily be
enough to fill their exercise requirement needs.

Maltese puppy Maltese adult dog Diet & nutrition
Your Maltese should enjoy a well balanced and nutritious diet, and should
be fed on high quality food that will provide nourishment and will keep him
full for longer. Regular, small portions are well suited to this breed, and you
should ensure that he always has access to fresh water.

Maltese Life expectancy
A healthy and fit Maltese dog can expect to live for around twelve to
fourteen years.

Maltese  puppies and Maltese dogs requirements  for Grooming
Although this Maltese breed does not need much in the way of exercise, the
grooming requirements for this breed are high. You will need to brush his
coat daily in order to keep it in good condition, and a weekly shampooing is
also recommended. You should ensure that you keep a regular check on the
dog’s eyes, as they can be prone to eye problems.

Maltese Origin
As the name would suggest, the Maltese dog breed originated from Malta.
