There's a devil staying inside her beautiful angel's face LOL
when she was a pup till last year, she will scream, shout out loud with her SUPER HIGH PITCH voice whenever I'm going out from my room, either go downstairs, go to school, etc etc as long as I was out from my room she will shout till I came back -.-
shout not bark! cuz she knows she cannot bark so she shout like those voice kena smack or in pain not only that, whenever I put her inside her pen she will also scream until she was out of the pen -.-"" For the past year, I've been lost of idea on how to train her to at least be quiet inside her pen until I realize one thing. She will shout or scream because she doesnt want to be left alone inside my room!

This is the reason I began to look for another maltese to teman her which I ended up adopting Jasmine. Now the situation has changed lol autumn no longer bark or shout like before even if I put her inside her pen for a week but now Jasmine is the one who will bark whenever my phone rings or when I'm out to school or for dinner and when I came back home both will jump so happily to be hug by me xDD

I know this is actually anxiety of separation but I think getting 2nd maltese to teman autumn is a good thing after all.. cuz I finally get to see Jasmine's real character which is not that different from autumn; attention seeker LOL

So far, I'm glad that autumn doesnt like to bite anything like wires or stuff that she saw on the floor since she was a pup till now. kekeke

I can't give u the right answer because my kids are both girls xD so honestly what I'm gonna say is based on the readings that I read when I do my research

as far as I know, some dogs will do marking when u bring them outside or play that has others dog's smell or pee xD but there is also some case like yours, mark in the house xD for this, u gotta wait White Palace to help u answer xDD

but for pee with one leg up, I got read before somewhere that say if ur dog start to do marking, some will also start to pee with one leg up



Of course cannot xDD
their nails is thick n big not like our nails la..

that's call an aggressive towards food or something like that. Forgot the name xD
When she gets angry and try to show her teeth or try to bite u when u took her treats, toys, food u gotta train her to not do that.
If not later when she getting older, she will really be protective over her stuff. My girl also like that last time. Autumn will try to bite me when I want to take her rawhide bones but white palace help me teach or train her that day so now I can take whatever inside her mouth whenever I want. Last time, I touch the rawhide also cannot -.-""

i bring my girl to gasing vet thou its far but I'm satisfied with the vet there

I don;t know the exact address but if not mistaken someone got posted bout it at poodle thread recently. Will go there n find for u the exact add

Sorry just got back to kl =]

Last time when I bring autumn for her 2nd Jab, they charge me RM 35 for the vaccine

You have to scold him whenever he scratch his hair cuz some might not get used to it or it will became habit. Like mine last time also like to scratch whenever I tied her hair up, now no more scratching but she likes to push her head on her bed or my bed and then in a minute she'll became a ghost dog with all her face cover by her own hair hahaha


what u can do is, try to tie his hair when u saw he was nearly sleeping/tired. You let him play until he was tired then u try to tie his hair that time. This is because when he was soooooooo tired, he will just let u do his hair and wont really move alot, after sometimes he might get used to let u tie his hair =]

sometimes when u tie too tight it will made them feels uncomfortable =]

The best is u tied only 3 or 4 times. I mean when u want to tied their hair u tie the rubber band for about 3 times like that so it wont cause them to feel uncomfortable or too tight for them

I wonder why people always think that maltese = must be fully white and those with some brown patches is not acceptable or whatever reason u could think of

As far as I know, puppy who had either light or very visible dark patches on their fur means the parents pigmentation is too strong that some of the pup might be affected and I don't see anything wrong with that and yes, some might turn to white while some might not and I'm proudly announce here that autumn is a pure maltese thou she still has her brown patches and honestly, she looks awesome with that look

for those who has not met my girl, here are some pics to refer to

Her 1st day at home,



upper view & full body pic which u can see she got many brown patches over her body =]



@3 months old


and last year pic @ 1 year ++


u can see she still have those patches around her body and basically me n my mom thinks she looks cute with those un-balanced patches lol thou I've been told that the fur 'might' turn to white when she turn adult as her father's also has some patches which turns white later on. No offense to anyone. I just wanted to show my girl's pic as I think some ppl still confuse and think that maltese should have fully white fur and I do know some puppies still have their patches when they turn adult like autumn & touffy. So I guess, it doesnt matter if ur pup have those brown patches as long as u get it from reputable breeder unless if u really want fully white maltese

btw, who u get ur pup from?

U're gonna keep it? please don't poison me more...
my hand is reli itchy to get another maltese pup now thou I already have 2 :swt:

agreed! I'm afraid they'll be too hot when I'm not at home so I purposely bought a fan for them so I can open it when I'm away

I guess mal champion and top maltese should be the same? no?
as far as I know, mal champion means the parents or at least the family line was from the champion dog. The breeder show their dogs and they won the title "champion". Puppies bred from this champion dogs usually cost more esp pups that have show quality.

Normal parents basically means pet quality which is more cheaper. If you plan to show ur dog u may opt for show quality pups but if just for companion, I think pet quality is enuf?

Im not talking bout ethical or not but some breeder/seller might recommend you to their own vet and some will just let you know which one you can bring ur pup too. Either both you, as a customer is always has your own choice, to follow them or to find your own vet

If you shave off the fur, the new fur wont be straight anymore, it will turn curly as the texture been shaved off.
My girl also kena shave and now her new fur become curly and kinda rough so I gave her skin n coat supplement and also apply silk spirit oil after bath. What's ur reason to shave off the fur? if u just want to save the fur i suggest to do regular trimming rather than shave off everything.

Btw, I bring Jasmine for hair cut last week and it came off as poodle cut
and I plan to spay her soon as well =]


Attached thumbnail(s)

That's not really call shave actually.. or particularly shave the face?
I need to do it cuz the tear stain is way to horrible -.-"" no matter how i wipe and gave supplement to her, the tears cant seem to stop. Plus her eyes kinda sensitive I guess, as her eyes will easily became red when there's a single fur poke the eyes, so I thought of shaving the face fur for now n see how it goes when it grows back

actually not reli improve cuz the stain still coming and now it stain the eyes area again..
I think she's happy with the new look? xD well, less grooming for her mah xD she doesnt reli like grooming thou sometimes she will just stay there let me groom but most of the time she will try to run away when i groom her haha


went to ate at korean rest there and as far as I know there's oni 2 rest that allowed us to bring dog.

autumn also doesnt really like it when its shower time and she 'hate' the dryer. But will tolerate it as long as I dont blow it directly to her face and not to close either. Regarding the mouth fur, make sure you wipe/clean the mouth and the area around that whenever he/she finish eating. This will reduce the stain a bit.

Just shower my girl and snap her pic

I went to Ruby's Resort last week on raya and my girls has so much fun there!! esp Jasmine, she was soo happy playing with the water and so curious bout anything since this is her 1st outing. Surprisingly she behave quiet good except for 'marking' non-stop and sometimes ignore my call when her curiosity is attacking her




Jasmine is happy to play with the water while autumn is trying to runaway from it lol





at tree house

the maltese is male la xD
anyway, I dun think spaying before 1st heat is recommended? I mean I read before that some says spaying after they finish their 1st heat is actually recommended because the 1st cycle is actually gives the hormone to grow so spaying after that is actually better than before the heat. as for neutering the male, should be about 8 months plus?


peak_wei88 : I bring them to Ruby's Resort, cherating, kuantan there. It's the only resort that allows pets and its my 2nd time there last week

I normally bring my girl to Desa Park, went to BU park once as well but based on my experiences, u will see more dogs n diff breeds on desa park compare to BU park xD

Gave Jasmine a quick bath yesterday and snap some pics for both of them :love:
