Question 2

How can I control my Maltese's tearing?

Accepted Answer

To prevent tearing in Maltese, we recommend
1) Good Quality food
Always feed your Maltese the highest quality food, Canidae All Life stages is the brand that we feed our dogs.
2) 
If you clean up around their faces and trim the hair around their eyes it will prevent the hair from getting into their eyes and causing tearing
3) Quality Water
If you give tap water to your Maltese, this may be part of the reason that they have tear stains. It turns out, tap water has such a high mineral count that it can cause staining in Maltese. Instead, use purified or distilled water to give your Maltese.
 
If your Maltese still has staining, we recommend  to clear up any remaining stains. You can find it in most pet stores or online.

Question 4

What's the difference between Male and Female?

Accepted Answer

"Male dogs tend to be more emotionally stable, less prone to mood swings. They can also be tougher and more aggressive than females, though many males are big goofy softies. Female dogs tend to be more emotional theatrics, more opinionated and "out of sorts" when things make them uncomfortable or don't go their way. but are also very happy, sweet, and gentle when their world is going well." - http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com, by Michele Welton

Question 5

How much does one of your pups cost?

Accepted Answer

Our Maltipoo and Maltese puppies are $3000 and Malshi puppies are $2500

Question 6

I have allergies. Would a Maltese or maltipoo aggravate my condition?

Accepted Answer

If you have allergies, a Maltese or Maltipooo are perfect for you! The Maltese's long, flowing coat doesn't shed which makes it a perfect fit for a home with someone who has allergies. The maltipoo also has a non-shedding coat and shouldn't bother your allergies.
 
While both the Maltese and Maltipoo have non-shedding coat and will not bother most allergy sufferers, no dog is entirely hypo-allergenic. If you are extremely allergic to dogs, you may still have a small reaction, due to pet dander and saliva.
