I have been breeding Maltese for 20 years and only breed one female once a year.  All my pups are from AKC-registered parents. I breed them as family pets, not show dogs, which is why they are in a short haircut.  

Although they look like little angels, they love a good run and roll in the dirt. They love attention and are great companions.  This litter will be socialized with my other dogs, family, and friends.  Their parents have great personalities who love to play and give as much love as they receive.   They will be vet-checked, receive their first shots, and will be microchipped with the AKC Reunite program.  Pups from their previous litters weigh between 5-7 lbs, but I cannot guarantee their final weight.  If you intend to keep the pup in a long haircut, they need constant brushing.  I will start brushing their teeth now.  Maltese are prone to bad teeth.  Lemon stains are the 

Please do your research if you have not owned a Maltese to make sure this breed is a fit for you.  Don't let your desire to get a Maltese make the wrong choice of a breeder.  Make sure you see at least the mom interacting with the pups.  

If I can answer any questions or you are interested in meeting my Maltese family, please contact me.

Thank you.

Excerpt from Maltese Only forum:   

Is it common for Maltese to have small lemon spots on their fur as puppies, and if so will the spots go away as the puppies grow older?
Judith Montijo

• Yes, extremely common. Statistics say 50 percent of them go away as the puppy grows older. Lemon or tan on the ears is permissible as far as the "standard" is concerned, meaning your Maltese could still be shown. Nothing to worry about in other words.

• My breeder told me that the lemon spots on his back and ears would go away in no time. However, my Maltese is 6 months and the spots are still pretty prominent. I guess it is a 50/50 chance.

• My beau had light tan on his little ears and back. he is now 8 months old and is pure white! 50/50 chance is right!!

• Lemon spots are not uncommon on a Maltese and yes, they may go away or they may not. It's all a matter of genetics. Many times you will find that the Maltese with the darkest pigment and eye halos are also the ones with a little lemon color -- seems to go together. Many of the show dogs that become champions have a liitle lemon if you look real close.
