Questions & Answers
Malteses are undeniably an interesting breed of dog! They have an incredibly long lifespan for a small dog, sometimes living up to 15 years or more. On the physical side, they are characterized by their long white coats that are split with a dark face mask that tends to draw a lot of attention. Beyond their longevity and physical look, the Maltese breed is as full of personality as any other dog. They are known to be affectionate and intelligent, making them great company for people of all ages and lifestyles.
Malteses are considered to be hypoallergenic since they have less shedding compared to other breeds, which means they have fewer allergens. They do not have a heavy dander or a strong doggy smell, both of which can often trigger allergic reactions. In addition, Malteses have less saliva and fur than some other breeds so even people with pet allergies may be able to live with a Maltese. However, no breed can be considered completely hypoallergenic since every person's body reacts differently to allergens.
Your Maltese will need a high-quality diet with plenty of protein. Look for a food specifically formulated for small-breed dogs, as Maltese often have sensitivities to fillers. If possible, try to get an all-natural food, as Maltese can be sensitive to artificial ingredients. Aim for two smaller meals a day, divided into more servings throughout the day, as this will keep your pup’s energy steady and prevent overeating.
When getting a Maltese, there are several essential items to consider purchasing. First, a quality, healthy food that meets the unique nutritional requirements of a Maltese is very important. Next, collars, leashes, and identification tags should be purchased so the Maltese can safely explore and always find its way home. For toy and chewables, consider items specifically designed for small dogs. Additionally, grooming items such as brushes, toothbrushes, combs, styling scissors, and clippers are necessary in maintaining a Maltese's beautiful look and health.
Maltese dogs are a small breed, typically between 4 8 lbs and 6 8 inches tall. They do not come in different sizes, as they all maintain the standard breed size. A Maltese should have a compact stature, with a slightly curved back, being proportionally balanced between the head, body, and limbs. They have a long and silky white coat, which when brushed out can cover the entire body including the head. The face is human-like, with a short muzzle, dark eyes and black nose.
Yes, Malteses are very active dogs who love to get plenty of exercise. As a small breed, they can fit in an apartment habitat, but they require plenty of play and walks to stay healthy. These energetic dogs require frequent walks to expend their energy and are best-suited for active families that can provide them with ample activity. A good, long walk and some playtime will ensure that these lively pooches remain happy and in good health. They are also known for being quite fast and can be quite amusing to watch as they run around with quick, tiny steps.
Malteses are known to be gentle, loving, and loyal family dogs. That combined with an average size of just 4 to 7 pounds make them excellent companions for kids. They’re eager to please, smart, and sociable with people, including children. Even better, they’re low-shedding and hypoallergenic, so allergies don’t have to stop you from adopting one! However, it is still important to supervise your Maltese and children when they interact for safety’s sake.
Training a Maltese is a rewarding and fun experience, and should be approached with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start by socializing your pup getting them used to being around other people and pets, and familiarizing yourself with their behavior. Once you've done this, begin with obedience commands such as sit, stay, and come. Use treats and praise to reward your pup once they complete a command successfully. You can then slowly progress to more complex commands.
