Maltese's

[Danegirl2208]

I think they are adorabe.. there is a couple that comes to the dog park and they have 2, Bella and Rocky..they are such sweethearts I would never own one, just because they arn't the beed for me..but i think they are wonderful little dogs

I wouldn't get one, just because I like tall dogs. (I'm very lazy, I wouldn't want to stretch down everytime I wanna pet my pet ) Plus, I'm a hound fan.

But as a breed, they are quite nice. I've met a few who were rather "yappy." I wouldn't have time to take care of the coat, but as far as the coat goes, I like a short puppy-cut.

Also, my grandpa and aunt have Malteses. My aunts boy Toby was such a sweetie (towards people and other dogs anyways lol) although the giant teddy bear his mum gave her had his eyes ripped out and arms ripped off...lol. My grandpas girl is 17 years old and very small. Shes hates kids and just lays on her special pillow at home. If she sees a kid come towards her she growls. even if you mean no harm. So i guess most are friendly, although the older ones dont tend to be as much fun.

I feel much the same way about them as Amy. I would never get one myself. They're cute, sweet little dogs but just aren't for me. Tollers are my type of dog, as you well know...and well, a Maltese just doesn't compare to them at all..lol.

As far as their coat length goes, I'm not sure which I prefer on them. I think a properly taken care of, long coat is absolutely gorgeous but the shorter cut is cute too.

I don't think I would ever own one, but they are beautiful little dogs. I've never met one before, but I've heard that they are as sweet as can be.
