[attachmentid=2856708]

By the way, may I know any of the Maltese lovers here has problem with your dogs' skin? My dog suffers from fur lost, quite severe actually, on off for about a year already. Saw many vets, also not improving. Currently on long term low dose steroids..your advice is very much appreciated.

normally we would strongly advice n recommend people to get their pets from responsible and reputable breeders.... petshops (whether physical shop or online shops selling multiple breeds of dogs) are not good sources as we dont know where their supply is from.... if u read The Star, few days ago you would have noticed that this issue was covered....

for a good and healthy pup from a responsible and reputable breeder usually within the range of 1.8-2k for those without champion parents, above 2k and can go up till 3.5-4k for those pups with Champion parents (note, its not just lineage but parents themselves).... the difference with the term "lineage" and "parents" is that lineage can mean anywhere from parents till great grand parents....

of course there is also the factor of locally bred and the popular "taiwan bred aka mini".... basically, local bred are known to have larger size which normally is off standards, taiwan bred normally are within AKC written standard sizes but people are normally fooled into thinking its "mini" due to comparison with local breds....

people i know who have maltese get from White Palace, Frederf Maltese (fred_twh) or Kinzonu.... these 3 you can find in lowyat itself, while Frederf and Kinzonu have FB accounts.... another breeder you can seek via FB is Hollybelle.... Frederf, Kinzonu and Hollybelle are dog show handlers however they might have pet quality puppies from time to time....

responsible breeders are not afraid to show you their house where they keep their dogs, how are the living conditions of their pets.... you can feel free to ask them any questions regarding your pets regardless before or after purchasing because they want to make sure that their dogs are sold to good owners....

wish you well in your search of a wonderful maltese.... they are a great breed.... most importantly, getting from a responsible breeder gives you a safer assurance....

Thank you for recommending me, however I had stopped breeding for quite some time now. I believe Fred, Kinzonu and Hollybelle are great breeders. However, I do have Maltese up for adoption to good homes. I must stress that my intention is to allow more love and attention to my Maltese since I own many of them, so unless I found someone that can provide them MORE love and BETTER care then only I will consider, otherwise I'm more than happy to keep every one of them. If you are a first time dog owner, you wouldn't be considered. I would be very thankful if those dog owners I already know would recommend me a potential great adopter if they encounter any

why does my 4 months old female maltese stil pee everywher? she seems to pee in the pee pad correctly when i put her in the playpen near the kitchen? and when she has 'accidents' i'll clean it up with dettol and then vinegar+water. is it because the pee pad is too far away?  must i put it in the living room?

Anyone have good pet hotel to recommend? Will be going vacation for a week.  Need to find a place for my maltese during this period.

my little girl is 5 and a half months old and she has short fur(i dont intend to let it grow long and i send her to the groomer once every 2 weeks). Theres a big problem is her tear staining .It is slowly getting more and more noticeable and i think i should do something before it gets extremely bad. Can any of u recommend anything to have it gone? btw she drinks from a bottle with filtered water(hope that helps?). Eats origen dry kibble and evo canned food(95% meat)

there are many reasons as to why your girl is having so much tear stain, especially at this age.... the important thing is to find out the cause.... it could be she is teething, or she has seperation anxiety when left alone at home, or the short fur around the face is irritating her eyes, or red yeast infection or just plain genetic (this cannot be helped la)....

do u clean the eye area everyday? i heard that some clean their furkid's eye area every few hrs.... or u can try to let her eat health n shine, a product to counter red yeast problem which causes the tear stain....

I think she could be teething because she doesnt have seperation anxiety when shes left alone. does teething cause tear stains? i keep her hair short and i do clean her tears very often. What is health and shine? anyone tried angel eyes or eye envy before?
