Please note: As a reputable breeder of Maltese dogs,
I do not have puppies "always available". I breed for
the love of the breed, the protection and promotion
of the breed, and the ethical commitment to maintain
the breed standard, as well as to see the breed carried on
with dogs who represent the utmost in genetic and
environmental health and soundness of mind
and body. The price of adopting a puppy from me goes back into the care and well being of the dogs themselves -- The best quality food and supplements, the educational seminars, the genetic testing, the veterinary care, the show entries (to provide an expert comparison to the breed standard), the grooming equiptment, the stud fees to Champion dogs who are not even available to non reputable breeders, and more....
You can find a Maltese puppy from an "always available" source, but you will be supporting a "business" rather than supporting the protection and promotion of the breed, and the puppy
you get will have little adult resemblence , either outwardly or inwardly, to a judiciously
bred Maltese dog from a reputable Maltese breeder.
