Maltese Dogs

History

Hello and welcome to my site! My name is Shasta Our place is located in Kennewick, Washington State. I've been involved with the Maltese dog for about 20 years. Started out with my Grandma getting a few Maltese puppies from a Pet Store (not good quality at all! Got 10-12 pounds and had curly hair), then my own mother bought a few TOP Quality Su-Lee puppies and got into showing. I learned very young the difference between Pet and Show quality. Regardless, both Pet and Show quality Maltese dogs were simply wonderful lap dogs! I've found the Maltese dog to be NOT like most small dogs. Maltese dogs don't seem to be a hyper, un-trainable or a high pitch barkers. Usually the Maltese dog will end up weighting 4-7 pounds with white long straight hair. I've searched high and low to find the attitude and quality of dogs that I have now. Maltese dogs have the best temperament of any dog I have seen. Great around kids and other animals! Our puppies are raised around kids, other dogs, cats, a ferret and horses. Maltese dogs do not shed so they are good for people that normally can not have a dog. If you truly want a loveable lap dog then a Maltese is the perfect dog for you. Look like a celebrity and own one of these cute white long haired fluff balls! Even though we are located in Kennewick, Washington aka Tri-Cities WA. We can ship at the buyers expense to most states.
