Yea, he is so cute. Today, I taught him to lie down. He learned it pretty fast, but the things is.... now before he lies down, he will sit first. After he sees me not giving him the treat, he will lie down. Ahhh, wherever I go, which he sees me, he will now immediately lie down and look at me.

I noticed there are some red dots on Muika, is it serious ? Hmm, not very obvious but erm.. I kind of worried.

Er.. Their hair will grow very long ?

Yes, I heard the longest will be around 22cm.

what red dots?

Im not sure, it's like small red brownish dots under his coat. They grow at the place where the fur didnt grow. Near his.. that organ.

does it look like pimple? if it's just normal small red dots, i think no need to worry that much. If it's puss filled pimples, better bring to vet but actually a normal wipe on that portion and clean all the puss would be ok already

Hmm, not really, they're more like a sting by something or what. Im not sure, but anyway I've made an appointment with the vet on 7 April. But Im still worried.

Awww... I prefered their look of short fur..

Anyone know where I can get female maltese? I know I can look for them in petshops but it is not like looking for a can of sardines. They only come in batches and most the time the shops don't 'stock' them. I want to get one for a friend.

Hmm, I prefer them to be in long coat, but u can always trim them. Oh, and long coat is a bit troublesome at times. Can get dirty easily.

Im not sure about that. Sorry.

I recall seeing Maltese in Taman Connaught pet shop before... Cheras area

Should try call MKA and get some numbers. My friend did that and he got a beautiful maltese for only RM1.5k and it came with cert also.... Or was it RM1.2k... can't remember.... but cheaper than a petshop that was selling RM2.5k and the health of the puppy was good, better than petshop.

Sorry.. I'm a car enthusiast but unfortunately don't know much about doggies. My friend is crazy about Maltese but she wants a female. Yeah.. pet store prices are crazy, even rundown looking stores are selling them for RM2.2K. I will see what I can do with MKA. Can I just call them up and ask them for breeder info? They'd just release it to me? Would it be better if I just pay them a visit in TTDI (found MKA website contact) and get the contacts from them? I always prefer face to face contact instead of just anonymously calling on the phone.

Thanks for the info.

You can try... face to face.... you won't get much. Coz MKA only will provide you the phone numbers. So far that's all I got from calling. Names and numbers. They don't do background research on the breeders. It would be better to get the numbers, call them and sort of have a phone interview with the breeders. Normally good breeders will love to talk to you about the breed, while puppy mills/breeders(those that breed many many breeds) will not talk much. Even if talk also, can find some lose ends.....

Try and find a breeder that only specialise in Maltese. That's the best.

friend or girlfriend?

ex-gf from 6 years back who has now become a good friend. You don't have to be my gf to get a Maltese from me..

i'll be your good friend then...now i want a maltese. get one for me too ya

If it's a maltese, i'd suggest maybe a Western Highland Terrier aka Westie.

Oh yes, just came back from the vet. The vet told me that the red dots are okie, nothing serious. Yay!

I just brought Muika for the second injection, and yea no bath for a week. But this morning, when I open the door, he ran out to the garden when it was still raining. I wonder will he get affected like that ? Like sick or something ?
