BACKGROUND
The correct name for this
beautiful toy breed is Maltese (not Maltese Terrier as it is
often called).
No one is certain of the
origins of the breed, despite claims that they came from the
island of Malta, or are similar to the dogs worshipped by
the ancient Egyptians. There is little doubt that they are
one of the oldest of all dog breeds, with records of this
type of dog dating back to 6000 BC. They were a prized
possession of the people of Malta, as well as an exotic
article of trade in the Middle East.

PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS/ TEMPERAMENT
Maltese are not working dogs,
although some have gained excellent results in obedience
trials and even make good watchdogs. A Maltese is here just
to give love and shower you with affection, to let you know
who is at the door and generally just make everyone it meets
feel happy and welcome. It is very intelligent and lively -
and just loves to be pampered.

COMPATIBILITY
WITH OTHER PETS
EXCELLENT.
CARE REQUIREMENTS
Maltese are definitely `house
dogs', and although they will find a securely fenced garden
a joy to play in, they prefer to be inside with their
owners. If kept in a flat or a unit a daily walk on a lead
is desirable - good for the owner's health as well as the
dog's.
Although Maltese are very
glamorous show dogs (even wearing bows in their head coat
when being exhibited), when kept as pets they do not have to
remain in full coat - the hair can be trimmed back and
shaped for ease of care. Daily brushing is essential to keep
all the knots and matts at bay, and the dog will enjoy a
weekly bath - but remember to blow dry thoroughly. A good
bristle brush, a small face comb and scissors for trimming
away hair from the pads of the feet are essential tools of
trade, along with nail clippers (as inside dogs their nails
will usually need trimming), boracic acid and a toothbrush
for cleaning stained areas around the eye. Grooming a
Maltese should be the responsibility of an adult member of
the household.
Maltese
can be fussy eaters, so if you don't want to make a rod for
your own back, please start off correctly. Dedicated
breeders are only too happy to supply a diet chart
explaining likes and dislikes
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Although this is classified
as a `toy' breed, Maltese still require normal exercise and
an adequate diet to ensure they do not run to fat.
IDEAL OWNER/S
Almost everyone looking for a companion
to `live in'
IN CONCLUSION
Now you know a little about the Maltese
