Would you feel better if you left your Maltese Small Dog with your friend when you went on vacation?Max 1207 days ago
maltese small dog breed. On July 10th, I posted an article entitled,”How best to organize a Kennel Holiday for your small dog….” I listed three choices and I’d like to elaborate on my second choice “Give Max to a friend……..” In October 2005, the family were heading out to Portugal for a month. So what do I do with Max, my Maltese Small Dog, friend and companion? My second option was the kennel but I considered giving him to a family friend. This friend already had a dog, a Golden Retriever and Max and his dog, Sam got on like a house on fire. Everytime, we visited each other the dog came or went with us too. They played and strutted around like a couple of male models! One was big and the other small. They looked funny together. Excellent choice, I thought. But, is that enough? Sam had his own little patch and he was trained to do his business in that patch. Max wasn’t and one day decided to do his business in the patio, while we were visiting. This caused my friend to get ...

Its vacation time and the excitement is mounting as you feverishly make plans, but wait.....what do you do with your greatest little friend, your little Maltese lap dog? You think about this carefully and you have 3 choices: 1. Put him in a dog kennel. That prospect for many is not appealing. How can I stick my Max into a Kennel with all those other animals there. Little Max will pine to death or so you think. 2. Give Max to a friend for the duration of the holiday. 3. Get a pet sitter to look after him. A pet sitter is someone who comes to your home for the duration when you are away and stays at your home and looks after the dog. In some cases the pet sitter has the key to your home and turns up on a daily basis for a short time to feed the little lap dog and take him for a run. Looking at all the possibilities and you’re particular circumstance, maybe a Kennel seems the better deal, but before committing your dog to a particular kennel, you should visit the facility for a ...

Maltese-Mania There was a small dog named Fifi; she was a Maltese and also extremely spoiled. Fifi was purchased by her owner, Judy, five years ago and spent a delightful half-decade with her. They spent a lot of time together, the owner was a consultant and worked from home so she could spend a lot of time with Fifi, and in fact they had never spent a single day apart since Judy brought the tiny puppy home. Even when it was necessary for Judy to travel she would take Fifi with her everywhere. After all she was such a small dog it was easier to carry her in the special bag they bought or if need be in a little carrier for the airplane. They had formed an incredibly close relationship over the first three years they spent together, and then Judy's husband entered the picture. At first, Fifi was downright unhappy with the presence of a new man in her house and she was even more upset when one night Judy actually made her get off the bed and would not allow Fifi to sleep there. ...

Maltese Breed standards are a set of guidelines commonly used to ensure that dogs measure up to certain characteristics typical of the breed. Breed standards are used to judge dogs in competitions and are considered to be the hypothetical ideal of the breed. If you want to compete with your Maltese and are concerned about following these requirements to the letter it might also be helpful to take into account that these ideal specifications can vary in different countries. These are the standards from the American Kennel Club. So you must be wondering.. how does your Maltese measure up to the official 'conformation' points? Keep in mind that these refer to the ideal dog and variations in your own Maltese are not in any way a poor reflection on your pet. Unless you want to enter your Maltese Toy Dog in for competitions,that is... The following is adapted from the American Kennel Club Maltese Breed Standard guidelines which have been in effect since 1984. General Appearance :The ...
