If you are searching for Maltese puppies for sale, you likely already know they are sweet little dogs with a beautiful look. Before you choose a puppy to bring home with you, it’s important you understand a few things about this breed. Being prepared and educated on the Maltese will ensure your puppy enjoys a happy life with you in his or her new home.
Perky Personality
The Maltese might be a tiny dog, but they don’t know it. They are truly fearless. With lots of energy and enjoyment socializing with humans and other dogs, they are very affectionate and sweet. These puppies also enjoy being the center of attention without being too vocal and having a friendly disposition.
Grooming Considerations
The Maltese breed in known for its beautiful coat, but with that long attractive coat is a requirement for grooming. They will require a brushing at least once a day, along with trips to the groomer for trims on a regular basis. The fur can knot and mat, which can become extremely uncomfortable for the pup and difficult to maintain if you don’t look after it.
Ultimate Lap Dog
A Maltese is an average of about seven pounds, which is great, because they are the world’s ultimate lap dogs. If you want a small, cute dog that enjoys spending time close to you, the Maltese is an excellent choice. On the other side of that, they will miss you if you are gone for long periods of time. You’ll need to offer them a way to stay entertained while you are at work.
Family Friendly
The Maltese is a great family pet. They do well with children and all types of families. However, as with any dog, it’s best not to leave them unattended with young children as accidents can happen. After becoming acclimated, the Maltese will usually play nicely with other family pets as well.
Commitment
The last thing to keep under consideration is that the Maltese can live a long life of a decade or more. Caring for an animal is a big responsibility and should be fully understood when deciding on the type of animal you would like to own.
