D.O.B : 16th March 2009

Speciality : Creating havoc, barking and whining... also biting

He came to our house on the 22nd of April after his first vaccine. He looked so cute and quiet. But then hell broke lose on the 2nd day onwards. He's so active and so playful, running around the house and wee-ed and poo-ed everywhere.

We spent some time training him so now at least he knows where to do his 'business'
but sometime dunno he notty or forgetful. he still wee and poo everywhere when he feels like doing tat.

About 3 weeks ago, he managed to climb up the stairs and go to my bedroom.
but he dunno how to come down.
last few days, he learnt how to come down by himself edy.
the headache part is he like to go upstairs to poo on the brand new carpet. *headache*

Here is some of his photos

Hi.. sorry ya... din notice.. log in ID is my bf (toytoy). I had posted my maltese's photos last few weeks here. His name is Touffy.

he got his first jab about 2 mths old. so after 3 jabs is 4 months. Vet said is better to hav the last jab at 4mth old.. so better take one more lor...
still thinking to take 9 in 1 or 6 in 1 (previuosly he is taking 6 in 1).

hehe... thanks for ur advice.

he took the 9 in 1 vaccine tis afternoon.
according to vet, now hav 10 in 1 which "9 in 1" and "6 in 1" contain virus but "10 in 1" hav virus+bakteria.
correct me if im wrong. coz cant remember clearly.

Setia Alam Park is nice place... Any chance to have maltese weekend walk gathering there???

Hi guys....

im goin nuts edy....
i had spent few months to toilet train my touffy.
After that, he know he shd go into his cage to pee and poo

but recently he start being notty...
he purposely pee and poo on my carpet, right in front of his cage, and wherever he feel like it....
He knew he shdnt do so.
coz when he pee / poo at wrong spot, he will hide from us...
once he saw me he will run away.
if he done nothing wrong he will juz follow me wherever i go....

sigh.... wat shd i do???

the problem is when i look at him... he will go into his cage to do his business...

when im not lookin at him, he wil be notty....

lock him in his playpen seems very cruel....

but let him loose he kept pee and poo on my carpet and floor, my bf is very angry at him edy...

sigh.....

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...

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)

Hehe... so many cute maltese here...

Oh my touffy is acting the opposite...
he tend to bark a lot (real loud) when i put him in his play pen.
but if he pee on floor, as a punishment, i lock him into his cage. he will be real quiet.
once i put him out in his play pen/ let him run freely in the house / car porch,he is barking non stop...
My bf always said touffy is acting like barbarian.. his noise is disturbing... especially, when he bark and other dog in the neighbourhood bark together.. tat's nitemare.
There was one time when i let touffy play in the car porch, then he start barking again.
My bf opened the door and shout "DIAM!!!!!' (to warn touffy) a few neighbours who were so happened standing outside, was lookin at my bf in shock...

hmm... my touffy is one years old edy....
dunno why he picked up bad habbit everytime i let him stay with my mom( put him with my mom when im away for trip)
1st time, he come back and tends to bark a lot.. last time, q quiet ger..
2nd time, he do marking everywhere in my house.
3rd time, he pee wit his leg up..

for the pee and poo part, im still very headache....
once i let him out of his playpen, he will start to do marking...
but in fact, he know where he shd pee.
under my observation, he will go back to his cage to pee and poo.
but once i m not lookin at him, he will do marking...

why???? last time, touffy is a good boy...
he will watch tv with me and play with himself when im busy..

my touffy's problem is he know where is should pee...
7 out of 10 he will pee in his cage
but 3 time he pee rite beside the cage and then do marking around the house oso...

thanks, muchan.

i gav up edy... i juz let him do marking at my car porch to satisfy him...

cute!!

if i tie up my touffy hair like tis his will keep scratching until he get rid of the rubber band...

haha... same here. so now i gave up edy...
