We breed only Maltese puppies. Our puppies are
expected to mature between 3 to 5 pounds as adult Maltese.
Our
puppies are small and very loving puppies. The American Kennel Club has provided breeders
with the opportunity to designate their puppies with "limited registration". Breeders will choose to use this
so that they can insure that puppies they place as pets are not subsequently sold into a puppy mill or backyard breeding program.
In fact many breeders will ask you to sign a contract that you agree to have the puppy neutered or spayed before receiving
the registration papers.
The bottom line -- you have the best chance of purchasing a Maltese that will be your loving and healthy companion for years
to come if you buy from an responsible breeder.
All of our puppies are sold with AKC Registration and Pedigree. Most of our Puppies are sold as pets and come with Limited Registration. Puppies are thoroughly checked by my vet before they are sold.
All age appropriate vaccinations have been given and they have been checked for internal parasites and started on heartworm
preventatives. Our Pet puppies are placed in homes to be loved and not bred.

We do not sell or ship our young puppies before they
are 10 to 12 weeks of age.
A responsible breeder is not in a hurry to sell their puppies they will follow the
American Maltese Association (AMA) guidelines and not allow their puppies to leave for new homes before 10 to 12 weeks of
age. However, many breeders will take deposits for litter just born or shortly due to be whelped.
Show dog breeders study their puppies from birth in hopes of choosing the best show prospect. The puppy finding process
is more of an art than a sicience. It's just not an easy thing to do. Sometimes a puppy that looks great at
3 months of age can mature and have qualities that are not something a breeder would consider show quality.
If you are buying
a puppy for a family pet do not be concerned with the minor issues. The most important thing is to buy a healthy, genetically
sound puppy that meets breed standards in both appearance and temperament. It is important to understand that there
is nothing low quality about pet quality from a responsible breeder. A pet quality puppy from a responsible breeder
is far superior to a "show quality" puppy from a puppy mill.
