- Maltese dogs are as iconic as they are cute - a lot. These little, white bundles of joy are the favorite lap dog breed of many families and for many good reasons.
0:00 Introduction
0:43 Maltese dogs are a very loving and gentle breed
1:31 Maltese are not very tolerant toward low temperatures
2:03 Maltese are not "yappy" dogs when trained right
2:35 These dogs are fighters!
3:03 Maltese fall in the middle of the "healthy or not" scale
4:17 Avoid "teacup" Maltese pups!
5:09 This is a surprisingly energetic breed
5:44 Maltese are great with kids
6:14 Grooming is crucial for this breed
My male Maltese is 15+ now and still looks like a puppy. He sleeps 80% of the day but still likes his afternoon walks.
He is truly my companion and love. I know he is on borrowed time and I want to make each day a happy day for him and me.
Thinking about getting two next time. I would prefer one year or older Raising two puppies takes a lot of energy and time. I am retired and 77 years old.
If you love your Maltese as much as you say you do then it would be irresponsible to get another one of you are 77 as the dog could well outlive you and they are known for having separation anxiety so think what it would do to the dog if you were to die. A true dog lover would never want to put it's loved companion through that unless you had a close family member who could take he/she on after your demise.
@@jmk1962 what.
We love our Maltese don’t we? You hopefully have many years ahead of you. Enjoy giving your love and time to another 1 (2) if that’s what you wish. I think the wording of the other comment was overly harsh. They don’t know you. Only YOU know what is good for YOU!
Love your profile. Our Maltese named Little Guy was absolutely fearless. He didn’t realize his actual size and was extremely protective of my wife no matter what. He never backed down from a perceived threat. He was very active and loved to be outside with us and go for walks.
Thank you!

Maltese dogs are one of the very best of dogs.
The Maltese are a unique and beloved breed of dog. Not only are they incredibly cute with their irresistibly soft fur, but they also have an endearing personality that will melt your heart.
Maltese dogs are the best ever with perfect personalities....i had 3 and am in love with these perfect babies
One day, it was really cold and my Maltese came in my room, jumped on my bed, and I thought she was being sweet, but it turned out she was shivering, (it was like 12 degrees) I could tell how cold she was, so I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around her, she doesn’t usually let me wrap anything, but she accepted it and huddled closer to me. Since she was small, I put her inside my sweater, I told my sister to go get my dog’s jacket. But by the time she came with it, my Maltese had already fallen asleep inside my sweater. (My Maltese dog’s name is Sydney)
I wish I had known this breed is too brave for its own good 😅 Working on getting my 1 year old Maltese trained and it’s proving to be a bit harder than I expected
I hear you…Mine is 4, a bundle of love but soooo stubborn. Lol. STILL working on leash training!
Proper training is a must! My male Maltese hates coats and sweaters 😂
My two are seven years old and still act like puppies.
Just lost my 15 year old Maltese today...so sad...they are wonderful dogs...
So sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss
🥺
Mine has been taken from me just so I can be with my husband in assisted living, I,'m not happy about it. My hands are tied!!
I have just got a puppy farm maltese she is 6yrs old and had 25 pups she had never been outside so we take her out sometimes with my wee yorkie she is a lovely wee dog a week ago she had to have 26 teeth out and has 3 left the vet said she had never seen teeth as bad as hers she used to have this sad face on her but since getting them out she doesn't have that anymore even though we have only had her a short time she has this cheeky wee side to her, when we got her she was skin and bones but now with good food she is where she should be with her weight.
I have a very handsome Maltese named Buddy!! Everyone that sees him that he is gorgeous!!!! I got him from a breeder in Lake Worth FL who shows Malteses! I wish I could show him to you!!
We have had our Maltese for 12 years. He is very demanding. Been to the Vet multiple times. We have spent thousands on his health issues, grooming every 6 weeks and dog pads for the house. He is very picky about his food. He is very attached to my wife and wont allow her out of his sight. He has been a hand full.
Thousands??? Even with pet insurance or you just paid out of pocket for every visit?
Growing up one of my friends had a Maltese, German Shepard, golden retriever and two one mutts. They always ran in a pack. If you called one dog they all came and they all thought they were lap dogs. Molly fit in with the bigger dogs with no problem (training is key) she was always a sweetheart and even babysat when the golden retriever “accidentally” had puppies. I think she was happy to finally have someone her own size for a bit.
Fantastic video! I have a 13 year old Maltese, Baloo is his name. He's the sweetest guy ever, so well behaved. The only issue is his separation anxiety that he has developed as he gets older. :(
I hate the loud music!
Same
Its not loud?
Bro turn the sound down 💀 Don’t have to watch the full video saying it’s so loud! Just turn it down
I have a very small Maltese….She is 3 years old and only weighs 3 pounds. Call her a teacup or whatever, but she is healthy and as sweet as can be! ❤️🐾
Why tips/food to keep a toy size healthy?
I'm looking into getting a teacup Maltese.
@@shakeelbasheer7035 Since my Maltese is only 3 pounds full grown I needed to find a tiny kibble. I feed her Purina Pro Plan Toy Breed. My vet approved it and my lil Maltese aka Violet is doing great!
@@audioplugg5310 Good luck! I adore my tea cup Maltese. She is 3 years old and weighs only 3 pounds. She’s just the sweetest most precious little dog! 🥰🐾
@@bethbornhorst7164 Thank you 🙂.
My Maltese might be the best thing that ever happened to me
I agree music is too loud and interferes with the message!
I would highly recommend a Maltese they are a awesome companion and best friend💜
I love my Maltese, she is so loveable. 11years old, yet still like a puppy.
Ours going on 15 years and still looks and plays like a puppy. They are such a loyal, intelligent and affectionate dog.
Thank you❤❤❤
the music is overwhelmingggg
I have a Maltese named Sunny he will be turning 1 soon. I love him so much. He is sooo cute
Happy to hear that, Jade ;)
Beautiful content! Thank you very much.
I wish I could hear you over the music,
though. It seems to me that’s it’s somewhat louder than your voice. It could just be me, but I think a lower volume would be better. Most videos don’t even need music when they’re trying to teach something anyway. Well, thanks again for providing insight on these little ones. They really are adorable dogs! ❤️
Thank you so much, this made me motivated like. I realy want a Maltiese puppy
Happy to hear that, Mamino)
I have a rescue maltese . Very bad idea and he is soo very dominant . I am an experienced dog owner and he tries me all the time . I dont think he bonded at all with any human . He was around 2 yrs when I got him. I called him Tobias but nick named Bubby for some reason. He can poop 3 or 4 xs a day which is a pain. He is a tyrant and doesnt listen for the most part. Im sure he has narcisisistic tendencies but I do love him . He is really cute but cuddly nope !!. He has come a long way but will never be a ''normal'' dog, poor guy!!! . I dread if anything happens to me like covid and I go in the hospital cuz he would not be consoled . he is a 1 person dog. Hes started biting 4 yrs ago too. I know how to train dogs but I cannot trust him at all he is unpredictable. I ve had him 4 10 yrs and I pray he has an easy gentle glide into death when he is ready , a natural death with out sickness. He is around 13yrs now, I will not get any pet after him he was such a handful. He does not know that and gets his needs met . He is pretty happy even though he is a very hard dog sometimes. --oh my vet says small white dogs can be very dominant.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Barbara. It may help others to decide whether to adopt a pet or get a puppy from a breeder.
Thanks. We are getting a female puppy from a breeder next week. We are first time god owners so this seems a good choice. I hope so, I'm a bit nervous.
Neutered?
I meant 'dog'.
I have a maltichon and he's a yappy little bastard. Highly excitable and yaps at everything despite attempts to train him with bark collars, commands, etc. Only thing that will shut him up is is the threat of a water squirter.
Puppy is so good and I miss my two dogs was passed away and first girl was 14 years and second boy was 10 years. I have no problem with my 2 dogs cause they know that I am Deaf and help me. I am miss them.
Yumi u r so cute n so pretty n also so white 🐶🐶🐶🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕🌹🌹🌹
I love my maltese
My mini maltese is absolutely fearless like she is attacking big dogs
Dude i wrote that a week before she died😔
Very well
My Maltese 100% Maltese from DNA test loves cold, runs around in snow.
Maltese may love to run in the snow but they are prone to hypothermia. As long as they're dried off and kept warm after, they should be ok.
My maltese is jealous of my wife haha he always sits or sleeps between us. When we talk, he comes between us and forces us to pet him.
When I first got him, I was told to only feed him around 12 grains of dog food per day to keep him small. Since that was ridiculous, I fed him recommended amount of food and now he’s 10lbs and healthier than ever. Can’t imagine my life without him.
I'm planning on getting a Maltease I have a family dog who is a Labrador but I'm gonna get a Maltease for my own
I think all teacup dogs have health problems, but it also depends on the diet you provide for the doggo.
Maltese are nearly impossible to house train. Every time we leave him, he soils all over the house. 13 years old. Love him dearly, but high maintenance.

From Malta❤️
i love my Trevor the maltese :))))
Music too loud
How much is it
We have owned 3 Maltese. The first was an imperious attractive looking quiet dog. The second was a rescue dog; ugly but he had a good temperament. The last was difficult to train Alpha male. Too territorial and aggressive with other dogs. Like a model wife maybe; great looking but hard work.
I'm from malta 🇲🇹
❤
I lost my Maltese Gary last week 😭😞🙁 he was my wonderful companion for 17 years 😢 missing him a lot 😭
That is very sad to hear(((
I have not watched this before I got a Maltese 😂
I’ve had my Maltese for nine years now and his name is Max he is amazing the only thing she did not mention was this breed has a sort of coughing condition the older it gets so any strong smells like essential oils or nail polish remover if they’re in that environment for too long it can cause them to have trouble breathing and start to cough so I would be careful around that and they may need to go to the vet just to make sure that they’re OK but there are definitely medications that you can get your dog on in case they do have a cough attack my dog is very affectionate and very loving that we do not have a lot of time does it with him but we give them plenty enough OB/GYN and he’s getting older so he does not like playing as much but we do like to run around with him and give him treats
What about lavender and chamomile oil?? I have a calming collar for mine that has those scents to calm him down and help his anxiety
Mine was a throw away 🥰🥰
Please turn down the music in the back ground. THANK you can't hear the lady. And what she is trying to say to us about our dogs.
music way too loud!
How are they with cats?
They love cats 🐈
Without right training, these dogs can act like chihuahuas that bite hard, are clingy, and hate anything unknown in sight.
That sounds like mine she doesn't like men or kids and will bite🙀
our maltese is very feisty. she always trying to get a fight with our bigger dog.
Thumbs down on the loud music that interfers with the message
Thank you for your feedback, Sandra
I have a male, he's about 6 years old. He is none of these listed in this video. He barks at his food and the wall. I have no idea what he is barking at. He is a lazy couch potato. He hates to go outside. I also have a female toy poodle and they love each. They can't stand to be separated. So either my Maltese is broken or something else
But he is nothing like the things in this video.
I just got a maltese for my birthday and she is 1 month old
My son just lost his 14 yo Maltese in Feb. We all loved her SO VERY MUCH but she was definitely a handful! The main thing I would tell you is to make sure you socialize your puppy!!! Do that and make sure she gets completely potty trained!! If she gets along well with other animals and has no accidents in the house, you’ll be WAY AHEAD of the game. Believe me!!
Music is a bit to loud
The information you read is from a website I just read ..
..
I have a maltese puppy
My brother had one she was a loving dog one day a fox wandered in to the yard where he kids were playing she immediately jumped on the fox and killed it in a second the fox was rabbit lucky she was vaccinated and was ok
I couldn’t hear what was being said because of the obnoxious music
My maltese desnt like cats.
i maltesi non sono dell'isola di Malta ma è una razza di origine certa Italiana (ITALI) capito!!!
I have maltese, i dont know how to train him 😂😂😂
Ah yes good with kids but only if you train them to, at least for mine 😭
Music is annoying
Do they have common heart problems?
Mine does. She now has a leaky heart valve and got it a few months after she turned 9. She has a cardiologist and takes 2 meds for her heart. One dilator and the other to extend her life. She sees the cardiologist once every 6 months. Cardiologist said she has the most common heart problem that dogs get. She hasn’t shown any signs of discomfort at her age of 10 years and still acts like a puppy. What we won’t do for our lovable Maltese dogs!
DO NOT get this dog if you're on a FIXED income!!! It WILL NEED trips to the groomer to get their hair cut, $50-$75 every 6-8 weeks...
You can't wait months and months!! The fur will mat and keep growing and mat some more, then you AND the dog will have lots of SERIOUS problems on top of other medical issues it's bound to have!!
If you don't want that yicky, slimy, dark discolored hair and discharge around the eyes, feed it TOP QUALITY food!! Ask your vet what's best... A groomer can only do so much!!... PEOPLE cause this problem, as it's from YOU giving them POOR quality food.
Not everyone has that much money, that's no reason to dispense. Dogs are not people, do you think wild dogs get haircuts and 'quality' food? I grew up with an Malteser, it's not that serious, he was healthy his whole life without those 18373829 treatments.
Exactly! And give them purified water
What food do you recommend
@@shakeelbasheer7035 Royal Canin for Maltes.. is the best
land sharks
I'm Maltese lol and I own a Maltese but it's not our national dog. We probably have the Romans to thank for their white coats. Originally they came in all shades but the Romans started to breed white dogs and eliminated all colours . White was considered the colour of the gods.
Today he leave us. After almost 16,5 year. RIP. It was perfect budy for us. Bye
Pronounced Moltese…..Not Maaaaaaltese
BS they have nothing to do with Malta
Your background music is annoying
