What kind of human's food you're talking about?
If those snacks, chocolate, candies, etc etc of course cannot feed.
But fruits is fruits xD thou it's human food but its good for them as well, as long as you know what fruits u should n shouldn't feed
besides, fruits and veggie is part of the raw diet so as long as you know what to feed then its okay

I feed her apple that day, I don't know the apple still cool or what..she vomitted out all apples that she eat..

maltese likes to eat everything >.<

Hahaha, recently I also started to play with her with my hands only. She also can get very excited.
But when she accidentally bite little hard(which I can feel a bit pain) then I'll scold and hit her head liow.
Now whenever she realize she bite my hand, she will stop awhile then only continue play..at least she know she done wrong.. haha

Have u fed her apples before? Mine never vomited anything even I fed her with apples, pears, etc
I think it depends on the dog itself, those who likes and not really sensitive can actually 'accept' the food which is given to them, but those who got sensitive stomach might not deal well with it

But so far, mine ok with apples n pears and she loves it

Nope, it was the first time I gave her apples to eat.
But carrot she can take it without any problem.

did you feed with the skin?
how big a chunk did you give?

Another thing bout feeding your pet... just like any toddler, dont overfeed and dont let them be too hyper after eating (e.g. jump up and down the sofa), else they might vomit.

Without skin, small pieces lor. How to describe?

This might be the reason for my maltese, I guess.

hope to get 1 maltese ya..
but, is maltese easy to take care???
will there drop lots of hair

every breed of dog also not easy to take care in general
maltese do not shed but some will shed a lil when the puppy fur start to change

normally how much is teacup maltese?
one person quote me rm4500

Honestly, there is no such thing like teacup maltese
People start calling them 'teacup' when they found out the pup is smaller than the other batch while the so called teacup or when the pup is actually grown smaller than the previous batch most of them actually fell sick when they still a pup so they tend to be more smaller compare to the rest. But nowadays people seek to find maltese which imported from Taiwan as their pup is smaller than local breed maltese. It is true some pups that was imported from Taiwan will actually grown smaller than the local breed but it still call "maltese" instead of 'teacup maltese"

Not sure if you understand thou. I guess the price RM 4500 that quoted for you might be included the fees that the person forge to import the pups. But as far as I know maltese price with cert normally range about RM 2k++

Hi all,

I heard that female maltese is normally smaller then male maltese is it true?

coz i bought my male maltese with cert ( i tot wit cert at least ensure that his mom and dad is pure breed maltese)
However, my maltese had grown bigger size than my mom's maltese (female without cert)

thou its true that some say female tend to be more smaller then male but there are also some reason why ur maltese could be bigger than others. First of all, as I wrote on my previous post, local breed maltese tend to be in bigger size compare to other countries maltese. This is the reason now ppl try to import Taiwan line as their maltese is smaller in size compare to the local breed. So if your boy have a cert and he was from local breed 50% he would grown the same size as his own parents or so.

Other than that, food factor also contribute to the grown up size thou. If you feed ur boy LOTS of food then he might grown a lil bit bigger compare to the siblings or ur mom maltese. For example, my girl's sibling is actually grown up bigger than my girl cuz the owner always feed him a lot when eating time. This is nothing to worry about thou

oh.... icic....
is it the price for local breed is cheaper compare to the taiwan pup??
cause i ask the person, she said she is imported the pup from taiwan.
but 2000++ can get taiwan breed???
cause 4500 is too expensive for me....

ur maltese is local or taiwan????
how big is them..?

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread a while, but I have to disagree with the statement that feeding your pup lots of food will cause your pup to grow bigger compared to the siblings. When we feed more food, the pup will just grow fatter instead of 'bigger'. The actual size of the pup actually depends on his/her genes which come from the parents. Although the parents are a good gauge for the size of your pups, it doesn't mean that it's 100% fool-proof that the pups will be exactly the same size as the parents...we all know that each dog is different and so even inside a litter, the siblings don't grow to be exactly the same size.

If you limit the food intake too much, your pup will indeed be 'smaller', but it's not because of the size...it's more towards under nourishing the dog causing him/her to become stunted in growth. So, please don't under feed your pup. They need a lot of nutrition to grow. Size is actually very hard to control...even if you have both parents being small, there are still chances of their pups growing to be bigger sized than them. Furthermore, I don't think that we would buy the pups just because they are small...in my opinion, just enjoy the puppyhood when they're small, and let them grow naturally. Size shouldn't matter as much as the love and affection they're showering us with

I'm not sure either as its been a long time I check the price for a maltese lol
but as far as I know normal price for local breed should be around RM 1.5K - RM 2K? I think it depends on the quality of the pup but for sure Taiwan imported maltese will cost more than that, esp those show breeder to bring in some maltese for show and sell the pup. I know a breeder who sells his maltese pup around RM 2.5K++ and sometimes might get even expensive depend on the pup quality. He show his dog and imported some maltese from Taiwan as well if not mistaken.

as for me, autumn's father is from Taiwan n so far she grown to be her father size which is small but inherited the mother leg so far she's quiet small compare to other maltese that we've met and she's 1.8kg which actually consider her size to be a small size.

Added on June 22, 2010, 6:17 pmhaha I didn't say the pup will be 100% will looks exactly as the parents
I did say around 50% might grown up like their parents and the food intake is one of the problem contributed. So far this is what I known cuz I have seen some of my friends dog who actually grown oversize because the mommy feels the dog still hungry and feed them again n again LOL

agreed with the sentence that I bold As long as you love ur dog I think the size shouldn't be a prob thou.. its not like u expect the dog to grown up like what u want rite?

thanks for the feedback rayne I miss scottieeee

It could be your friend's pup became too fat instead of being 'oversized' as you said, but then again I haven't seen the pup so I also can't say la What happened with me was that I still remember the lady who sold Scottie to me told me to feed less (up to the extent of counting how many kibbles to feed) when he was a pup to 'control his size: if feed less, sure will be small'. That's so wrong for me, coming from a Science background and knowing that how we are (size when we grow up) is not determined so much by food, but more of genes from our parents That's what I was trying to say

I miss hanging out with you guys and Autumn too...should go out one day!
