About The Maltese
-
Temperament
The Maltese breed was developed to be a cuddly companion dog. They are incredibly vibrant and playful, and their energy level and playful personalities remain pretty constant as they grow older. Some Maltese can be snappish around little children and should be supervised when playing, however socializing them from a young age helps to prevent this. They also adore humans and prefer to be in close proximity to them. The Maltese is a very active dog within the house, and they prefer enclosed spaces. Because of this, they do well in apartments and townhouses.

History
Throughout the centuries, this historic breed has been known by a variety of names. Known in English as the "old dog of Malta," the "Roman Ladies' Dog," and the "Maltese Lion Dog," it was first named "Canis Melitaeus" in Latin (the former name of Malta). The word "Bichon" has been used incorrectly to refer to the family ("little long-haired dog") rather than the breed. In the nineteenth century, the Kennel Club decided on the name "Maltese" for the breed. The Maltese is said to be descended from a Spitz-type dog that was found among Swiss Lake Dwellers and was selectively bred to achieve its small size. There is additional evidence that the breed is connected to the Tibetan Terrier and originated in Asia; however, the actual origin is unknown. The dogs were most likely brought to Europe by nomadic tribes migrating through the Middle East. Some authors suggest that these proto-Maltese were utilized for rodent control before the breed's appearance became important. There are multiple references to the dog in Ancient Greek and Roman literature. Around 350 BC, the Greek writer Callimachus provided the earliest written document (confirmed by Stephanus of Byzantium) describing the little Canis Melitaeus. Pliny claims that the dog's name comes from the Adriatic island of Méléda, although Strabo, writing in the early first century AD, claims that the breed originated on the Mediterranean island of Malta, and that noble women favored them. Some breeders decided to "improve" the breed by making it even smaller in the 17th and 18th centuries. These dogs were roughly the size of a squirrel, according to Linnaeus in 1792. Crossbreeding with other small dogs, such as Poodles and miniature Spaniels, nearly wiped off the breed. There were as many as nine separate Maltese dog breeds in the early nineteenth century.
Maltese Information
Maltese and allergies.
Some people are unable to be near dogs because of allergic responses to their fur, which can result in sneezing, watery eyes, and even a skin rash.
A Maltese puppy should be considered if you suffer from allergies. The silky white coat is the most distinguishing aspect of these adorable tiny canines. Hair might grow long enough to cover the dog's tiny limbs, making it look as if it is floating on the floor. Because the Maltese lack an undercoat, they do not shed much allowing many to able to own a great dog.
Hypoallergenic dog breeds are significantly less prone to cause allergic reactions in people.

It's critical to feed your Maltese puppy a diet that's specifically tailored to his needs. A puppy, for example, requires food that is higher in calorie density, protein, and fats than diet for adult and senior dogs. Because of their rapid growth, they require a high-calorie diet with well-balanced nutrients.
Maltese are great for apartments.
One of the most important factors for prospective pet parents who live in apartments is the lack of space for dogs, especially large breeds that require a lot of mobility and exercise. For a Maltese puppy, this is not an issue. Maltese puppies make excellent apartment pets. They are small enough to fit into a small apartment, shed minimally, and can be trained to behave.
