Maltese Terriers

Yes, all dogs shed, even the "hairless" breeds. But the Maltese does shed less than other breeds. They need regular grooming to prevent build up of shed hair and to keep them clean of dander and dirt. Their coats can mat up easily if not brushed regularly as well.

According to dogbreedinfo.com (link below), boxers have litters from 2-10 puppies with 6 being the average. But if my own experience with golden retrievers is worth anything, anything can happen from a one puppy litter to sixteen. However, please think very hard before breeding your dog if this is why you were asking. There are many, many dogs that are already born and currently need homes.

Maltese puppies can cost from around $800 to $6,000. I got one that costs $800, and I love her just as much as a $6,000 dollar one, maybe even more!

As you can see, the prices greatly range and this is primarily due to quality. The most important thing is to find a reputable and responsible Maltese breeder and buy from them. Typically, breeders with a good reputation will charge more than breeders without a the reputation, but it is usually worth it because you know you're getting your dog from a good source. If you buy from an unreputable breeder, than the cost is usually less, but the risk that the dog could develop health problems is greater, and those vet bills could far exceed the amount saved from buying from an unreputable source.

Contact many breeders and ask them lots of questions about their breeding program. Get references from others that have bought dogs from them in the past. Ten, contact those people to find out how well their experience went with that particular breeder. Do this work in the beginning could save you a lot of time, money, and heartache later.

Well, Maltese dogs are very small puffy cute white dogs. if it's a mix, then it will probably look bigger than it's normal size, like if you think a jack Russell terrier mixed with a Maltese is a normal Maltese, you might see:

-its bigger

-it has more hair, more curly, and wooly.

-and it's ears are more flappy.

One can find free beagle puppies by looking in classified section of newspaper and classified websites. One can also find puppies at local animal shelters, all though there may be a small adoption fee.

Maltese usually smell really nice, unless you don't bathe them for a VERY long time, get extremely dirty and aren't cleaned, or are neglected (as for most dogs). If you take care of them properly they will smell good for a while without a bath.

:)

I have left mine for as long as from 9am-7 or 8pm (which was a really really long time). Your Maltese should be fine as long as it has a wee pad, food, and water. Although I do not recommend leaving a Maltese with anxiety issues alone for too long. The amount of time your dog can tolerate depends on how hyper and calm it is--I wouldn't suggest leaving it for more than 9 or 10hrs (being the very most, and not all the time either). On the average day maybe 5 or 6hrs should be the maximum. If you are planning to go away for a long time, I suggest having your Maltese stay at a dog hotel. :) hope this helped!!

9- 10" tall and under 7 lb (preferably 4- 6 lb).

Yes, the Malayan tiger is one of six surving subspecies of tiger - three more are extinct. It is found only in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, in the southern tip of Thailand and Malaysia.

It was only identified as being a separate subspecies to the Indochinese tiger as recent as 2004. The number of Malayan tigers in the wild is estimated at 500.

Actually, there are purebreed black malteses. The black comes from a far off trait that they had obtained from an ancester who wasn't a purebreed. When a mixed breed Maltese is breed with a pure breed Maltese, those puppies with not be pure breed but as you keep breeding those puppies with purebreed and then the puppies of those puppies breed with a purebreed then eventually, as each new set of puppies is born from the last, they will regain their purebreed status. This has happened, someone breed two purebreed white malteses and one puppy came out black. The puppy that was born had received a gene that had been long since dormant. Black Maltese aren't very common but they are out there. Actually, today of May 7th, 2011, I ran into a girl at PetCo who had a puppy black Maltese. And he had his purebreed papers.

A teacup Maltese is a smaller Maltese. The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy, dogs. "Teacup" puppies are often badly-bred puppies, with no concerns to their health or temperament - they are only bred to produce the smallest-sized puppies possible. No responsible breeder will breed or even sell a very small or unhealthy puppy.

All dogs do. If you don't want blood stains on your carpet, I would consider nuetering.

I would sell one. But then again. You can scold him and then he will learn. Or teach the Female to fight back! (just to run away not violently)

They are very active and hyper. I have 2 Maltese and my 1year old is more calm than my puppy. He lays wherever I am and he listens very well. My puppy is a little more playful but she is calm for the most part. Having a Maltese was the best decision I have made. They are wonderful pets.

The Maltese comes from Malta, an island halfway between the coasts of Sicily and North Africa and was developed in Italy.

My is nine and de sleeps about 6 or 7 at night and during the day it depends what we do with him but usually not much about 2, or 3 mine is 9 years old

Where you can buy a teacup Maltese will depend on where you live and how far away you are willing to go to get it. However, what people are labeling teacup dogs are NOT CHEAP and they can have health problems throughout their lives because of their small size. Try www.petlink.com they have heaps of dogs but there not all cheap

It depends on the personality of the dogs themselves. It also depends on if they are both boys or both girls. One boy and one girl will love each other. If they grow up as pups together they should be okay. You always have to expect fights, stop them fighting but it is only natural. They are trying to see who is the top dog. I had two dogs that were brother and sister and they fought their whole life. This doesn't mean that they will always fight, it just means that they will try to show dominance over each other eg. steal each other's food. I recommend that you don't get two males as they may fight to the death.

No dog is "hypo-allergenic" but there are certain breeds that are low-shed and therefore better for allergy sufferers. Poodles are extremely low-shed, and Corgis shed a ton, so its hard to say what you would get out of mixing the two. If it truly a concern and you would like a mixed breed, I would suggest two low-shed dogs like the poodle and the bichon.

I have a corgi-poo. He sheds very little. If you really look at him you can tell he is a Welsh Corgi and a Poodle mix. He does however, have more of the fluffy fur as a poodle does. He requires more maintenance because of this. So it does just depend which gene he or she inherits.

Many vets believe this isn't true, but many people believe that indeed a dog's tongue can heal (although not sterile.) When we were kids in the 40's and 50's if my brother or I scraped our knee and it was slow in healing the dog would lick it (my mother told us it would heal it) and it did! I believe it does. If one thinks that dogs were once wild how then did they manage to heal some of their wounds? They licked them of course so there must be healing properties in their saliva.

The answer is Canis familiaris. All breeds of domestic dog has the same scientific name, including the Maltese.

The Maltese is a natural ham with a lively personality. Because he's so people-oriented, he takes well to training and responds to positive reinforcements such as food rewards, praise, and play.
