Customer Review
"We picked up our sweet little guy on Friday. I didn’t have the heart to wait until we got home to give him food and water. I felt he had to have it right away. I gave him half a jar of baby food Karo mix and some water, then waited for a little over 30-minutes and held him all the way home. Before reserving him, I was preparing for over a month for a male Maltese puppy, so we were fully equipped with all necessities plus. It took him over a day to start eating dry food along with a little wet food, and sometimes we feed him the baby food/Karo to ensure he gets enough to eat. Today is his third day, and he’s already mainly eating the dry food, mostly when I feed him out of my hand. This Thursday is his first Vet visit to ensure all is going well. We love him; he has a great personality and a quick learner. I will purchase another puppy from Premier Pups in the future. Maybe another Maltese or a Maltipoo."

Maltese Breed Info
When it comes to lap-sized luxury, the Maltese breed steals the show. Sporting a shimmering white coat, an agile frame, and an irresistible charm, these dogs are nothing less than captivating. Considered one of the most affectionate breeds in the world today, the Maltese showers its human companions with unwavering love and devotion.
This breed's origins trace back to the Mediterranean island nation of Malta, where they held esteemed positions as the pampered pets of aristocracy. Their charming appearance and loving disposition haven't gone unnoticed over the centuries, ensuring their place as a favored companion among dog lovers.
The Maltese isn't just about companionship and beauty, though. This breed embodies a vibrant energy and intelligent curiosity, characteristics that are immediately apparent once you meet them. Their lively personality and innate intelligence make them quick learners, and they have a knack for picking up tricks and commands faster than the speed of light.
Their most distinctive feature is their illustrious white coat. Silky, straight, and undeniably eye-catching, the Maltese's coat gives them a regal look that belies their small size. Yet, despite the high-maintenance appearance, grooming a Maltese is quite manageable with regular brushing and timely trims.
Living with a Maltese promises a delightful experience filled with companionship, lively play sessions, and plenty of affectionate cuddles. They're energetic without being overly demanding, and they're just as content to lounge on your lap as they are to chase after a toy.
