How long do maltese live?

Coton de Tulear and Maltese are both small dog breeds known for their affectionate nature and fluffy coats, but they have distinct differences. The Coton de Tulear originates from Madagascar and has a soft, cotton-like coat that is often longer and requires regular grooming. In contrast, the Maltese is an ancient breed from Malta, recognized for its silky white coat that is typically shorter and also requires maintenance. Additionally, while both breeds are friendly, the Maltese tends to be more vocal, whereas the Coton is known for being gentle and playful.

Throughout his long history, the Maltese has been given many names, such as the "Melitae Dog," "Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta," the "Roman Ladies Dog," "The Comforter," the "Spaniel Gentle," the "Bichon," the "Maltese Lion Dog," and the "Maltese Terrier." Today, he is known simply as the Maltese. This elegant toy dog breed is famed for the silky white hair covering his body. Straight and thick, the coat falls all the way to the floor. Many years ago, Maltese came in many colors, but these days they are always white. When a properly built Maltese moves, he seems to float beneath his cloud of white hair. Because he doesn't have an undercoat, the Maltese sheds little, and many people consider the breed to be hypoallergenic. But the Maltese is more than his coat. Completing the picture is a slightly rounded skull, black nose, drop ears, dark, alert eyes, short, straight legs, and a graceful tail. He's a sweet, intelligent dog who is devoted to his people. And as one of the smallest of the toy breeds, he's well suited to apartment or condo living. Wherever he lives, the Maltese is responsive to his environment and makes an effective watchdog.

4-6 pounds is the healthy weight for a Maltese, according to the AKC requirements. Anything over that is perfectly fine, although if you were planning to professionally show the dog, it would not be admitted. Anything UNDER 4 pounds is definitely dangerous. When an animal is bred that small, it is almost guarantied to come with health issues.

To clear things up, there is no such thing as a "toy" Maltese. Sometimes unregistered breeders stick the word onto the breed's name and will try to bribe you into paying more money for a smaller dog, whereas the dog is actually worth less once he gets below the minimum size requirements for the breed; someone who breeds unhealthy dogs for more money has no interest in continuing healthy breeding lines, and he/she risks inbreeding.
