Here is a guide line to help you find a Reputable Maltese Breeder |
The Maltese Breeder belongs to at least one dog club Is actively involved in training and/or showing their Maltese dogs Encourages Maltese puppy buyers to keep in touch and is glad to offer advice on raising and training your Maltese puppy Questions you carefully about why you have chosen the Maltese breed and how you intend to care for the Maltese dog Checks their Maltese dogs for hereditary defects and does not breed Maltese dogs with such disorders Guarantees the health and soundness of their Maltese puppies IN WRITING Does not use hard-sell techniques Does not "run down" other Maltese breeders or their Maltese dogs Will take back a Maltese dog they have bred or help find it a new home if an owner can't keep it. Don't be surprised if you have to get on a "waiting list" or drive to a distant town for a top quality Maltese puppy. Consider is a worthwhile investment for the pleasure and companionship your Maltese puppy will provide over the years to come. Most responsible Maltese breeders sell their companion AKC Maltese puppies on Limited Registration which does not allow them to be used for breeding purposes. If breeding Maltese dog is important to you, be prepared to spend the extra time and money to purchase a Maltese show quality dog that has the potential to contribute to the improvement of its breed with the next generation. Above all, when you do get a dog, please be a RESPONSIBLE Maltese DOG OWNER. This includes training your dog to be a good canine citizen and being considerate of neighbors and others who come in contact with your dog. See that your Maltese dog has regular veterinary care and (unless your dog is show quality), spay or neuter it for its own safety as well as to avoid contributing to the unwanted pet problem.
