Meet the Puppies You’re Looking For!** The Maltese is a timeless breed and [one of the oldest toy dogs](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/maltese/) still around. Most people believe it first came from the island of Malta. Since then, the Maltese has graced the laps of many different types of people, from Mediterranean sailors to European royalty. This little white fluffball has certainly stood the test of time! They are sweet, affectionate and loyal to their owners. Plus, their signature white coats and little black button noses still charm people every day in our store. But maybe you want to know more about the Maltese temperament before you bring one home. That’s what this post is for, because we want to help families find the best breed for them! #### **Check out more about the adorable and famous Maltese:** - As the Maltese is a toy breed, they typically stay around 5 to 9 lbs. This also makes them ideal for apartments, condos and smaller environments with or without a yard. - The Maltese, despite their diminutive size, is an energetic breed and needs to take walks or have playtime every day. - Compared to other toy breeds, they’re fairly quiet. Still, they will alert you to people at the door or cars in the driveway. - Their glorious white coats grow continuously, so you’ll need to brush daily and book regular grooming to keep the coat from matting. However, they shed very little, which many people with allergies appreciate. - The Maltese temperament is gentle, affectionate, intelligent, responsive and trusting. A good family dog, the Maltese is lively, playful and vigorous, and most enjoy learning tricks. They can be snappy with raucous children who handle them roughly, though, and do better with older children. Think a Maltese might suit your home?

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only. Posted on Google Zahra Safavian Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
