Dog breeds: Maltese

Back to list of breeds

The Maltese is a toy breed that originated in Malta. This is an ancient breed that can be traced back to 1500 B.C. Today this is a popular breed for dog shows and families, as well as companions for the elderly. They are often found of the laps of their owners. The Maltese can be described at times as a 'yappy' dog and are known for alerting their owners to all sorts of sounds. Starting training at a young age is recommended.

The Maltese usually stands about 10 inches tall and weighs between 4 and 6 pounds. They have a long, silky white coat that may have faint lemon markings. This is a friendly dog, but they do not always get along well with kids or other pets. They are a dog bred for royalty and they know it. Be firm but fair when training a Maltese.
