Frequently Asked Questions

How Big Do Maltese Dogs Get? Maltese dogs are small-sized, typically reaching an adult height of 9 to 10 inches at the shoulder. Their petite stature makes them easy to manage, ideal for apartment living, and a good option for people looking for a small companion.

How Much Do Maltese Dogs Weigh? Adult Maltese typically weigh between 4 to 7 pounds. Known for their lightweight, compact frame, they are easy to carry and are well-suited for individuals or families looking for a lap-sized dog that doesn’t take up much space.

Do Maltese Dogs Shed? Maltese dogs are known for their minimal shedding. Their long, silky coat sheds very little, which makes them a low-maintenance choice for shedding. Although they don’t shed much, regular grooming is essential to keep their coat free from tangles and looking healthy.

Are Maltese Dogs Hypoallergenic? Yes, Maltese dogs are generally considered hypoallergenic due to their low-shedding coat. Their silky, fine fur produces fewer allergens than many other breeds, making them a good option for people with mild allergies. However, routine grooming helps keep their coat clean and free of dander.

How Long Do Maltese Dogs Live? Maltese dogs have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. With regular veterinary care, a balanced diet, and a loving environment, Maltese can live long, healthy lives. They are generally a hardy breed, but like all small dogs, they benefit from regular check-ups and preventive care.

Are Maltese Dogs Good with Children? Yes, Maltese dogs are known for their gentle and affectionate temperament, making them suitable companions for families with children. They are playful and enjoy engaging with family members, though supervision is recommended with very young children due to their small size and delicate frame.

Are Maltese Puppies Easy to Train? Maltese puppies are intelligent and determined, which can make them relatively easy to train. However, they may also have a bit of independence, so consistent, positive reinforcement training methods work best. Their eagerness to please helps make training enjoyable, and early socialization is beneficial.

What Is a Maltese? The Maltese is a purebred toy dog breed with a history that dates back thousands of years. Known for their affectionate and playful nature, Maltese dogs are popular as family companions and therapy dogs. Their long, white, hypoallergenic coat adds to their charm, while their friendly personality makes them ideal for both families and singles.
