Hehe.. if u have only one dog, then u can punish him when u see his poop or pee. just make sure u bring him to the "accident" spot let him smell then only punish + raise ur voice to show him u r angry!! then after clean up, bring it the the right spot and let him stand on the right spot and do ur soft talking to show him u please him to do the right thing..

If the cage is too far apart, maybe u need to train him on wee wee pad + tray...

oh... thanks a lot cathy... i oni do the first part (bring him to smell his 'accident' spot) but din bring him to the right spot.
I only tried my best to guide him to his cage to pee and poo whenever i c him hav intention to release.
Thanks ya... will try ur method from now on...

Got a Q, is it normal for maltese puppies to have extra tearing / tearstains when they are teething between 5-8mths?

yupe,it can occur....it's normal. Maltese will cut teeth around 5-8mths. During this time,the head structure n mouth hav many changes and cause presure on their tear ducts. Make sure they hav plent of chew toys to help relieve pressure on the mouth ..

Some Born with no tear stain 1 really don't have to worry about it 1 lol!! sad sad......... white white angel got red red tear stain.. =::

I got a maltese with tear stain problem, what i do is everyday just feed him a pinch of the supplement which can keep him stain free

i bought it in safari petshop @ ikeano.
it called Pets Sparks RM100

any pics of ur maltese of b4 and after the suppliment?

Hi All ,

I just got my new maltese ..... 6 months old ....name her " SHORTY" ...

Just wanna ask the expert here , if my maltese ears is is lightly brown , is she pure breed ?

I tot tht maltese suppose to be all white .....feel like got cheated when i brought her home and notice tht her fur got some light brown colour

Not all maltese are snow white actually
the brown patches came from the parents gene... the brown patches will fade away following the growth of the pup..
My girl has LOTS of brown patches which came from her dad, Gizmo and Gizmo has no more brown patches but girl gene seems to be a lil diff from her dad LOL

If you still unsure bout my explanation u can view my girl pic

From the day I took her she looks like this



then became





and this is what she looks like rite now




but apparently her brown patches still got xD she got unusual gene from Gizmo I guess wakaka

yeah ...my shorty like ur girl ...the ear a bit brown ......but seems to me the last pics no more brown wo ....

tht mean is normal lar ...i tot she already mix breed d ....

make me feel better now ....

Hahaha actually when I know bout maltese breed I thought all malteses are born with snow white fur, means only have white color...
but then I met Gizmo and his owner told me that some maltese who has strong gene apparently will have brown patches on their fur, but it will soon fade away with the growth of the pup.. and so I book my girl without even view her once wkwkwkw

but lucky for me, I like her so much eventhou some ppl said she doesnt act n look like a maltese! lool

Ur girl super pretty and her fur very white .....what shampoo u use for her ?

I tried 3 brands actually xDD
at first, I'm using CC White on White to maintain her white fur.. but then I realize the shampoo might to strong for her as her fur became so dry so I tried another brand called Yu shampoo for white dogs and it was really good as it smells nice and her fur start to have a lil bit improvement.. I also have 2nd choice of shampoo called Nature Choice, one for whitening dog or something like that. I like this shampoo cuz the effect sometimes can even last till a week xD its like I can still see my girl so white even a week

I have both Yu n Nature choice brands of shampoo but currently using Yu... also I did use some conditioner n other touch up after shower n dry her up to maintain the soft n smooth fur kekekeke

btw, any picture to show off ur pup?

Here is here pic ......her hair got cut short ...so dunno why doesnt look like maltese at all
