7 Reasons Why You Should Never Own Maltese Dogs 

Ignore the haters. The Maltese is the best breed. They are the sweetest ❤

This is ridiculous. Just lost my 17 year old Maltese - best dog I ever had. So very smart, brave and loyal.

I have had Maltese’s for 30 years. They are a wonderful breed. They are sweet, they are affectionate, and they are very very smart. They are easy to train, and house break. My dog only barks when the doorbell rings, or someone knocks on the door. She is not a yapper in any way. I’ve had many dogs, but this breed is at the top of my list.

I had a Maltese/poodle, I didn't have problems training her. She was a wonderful pet, we did take her every where , when we left her in the car-we left the air on so she would not get hot. She passed at age 16 and we miss her so much..

I had a maltese and she was easy to train and a very outgoing dog...she loved camping and taking long walks in the park or on the beach...she was very smart and our time together, just a few months shy of 13 years ....was too short. She has been gone now over seven years, but never to be forgotten ❤. We also recently lost our Bischon poo this past July 28th. He lived 16.6 years with us and we were blessed to have him. ❤ We now have a puppy 14 weeks old....He is a Malshi ....a Maltese and a ShihTzu....we love him so much❤ Dogs are awesome.

My Maltese does not yap at all… he’s actually the most quiet dog I’ve ever owned. He does get hot easier if his coat is longer, cold no problem. But he is a house dog as all of them should be. He is groomed every 8 weeks which is not a problem. I’d prefer the grooming over excessive shedding. I lose more hair than he does. I’ve never seen him shed a hair. He is very clingy so I never have to use a leash. He is the best baby ever with no behavior issues. He is very smart, content, and VERY low maintenance. If I had to choose a home for a Maltese it would be for a mature committed adult that is home more than not just because your pup will get lonely and the Maltese is very loyal and clingy to it’s owner. They are smart and will make you feel guilty if left for long periods. Grooming is a must to avoid matting. Otherwise this pup is a fabulous breed. I’ve had every breed pretty much and my Maltese has been the easiest, cleanest in the house, smartest, most loyal, just all around perfect companion.

1. They are so fluffy like a pillow 2. They just want to lick you 3. They always want to love you but also want your attention 4. Everyone will always say “you have a cute dog” 5. They love to play 6. They miss u when you leave 7. They stick their tongue out always ……. CONCLUSIÓN: Why not to get a Maltese… lol they are sooo adorbs 😍

My Maltese was a great dog. She didn't bark and was well behaved. She lived 20 and a half years. We still miss our Little Bit.

I have a rescue 14 year old Maltese that I’ve had for 11 years. She is the light of my life I disagree with the not liking or needing exercise though Even at 14 she still loves her morning and afternoon walks!

Everything mentioned is the total opposite of my Maltese. He don’t bark, sunbathes, goes in the garden on his own, has never ever had a toilet accident inside. He always follows my wife round the house and likes to sit with people. He does get a little excited when the door bell goes, but doesn’t every dog.

We had a family dog, a Maltese, named Paris. She lived for 17 years. She was sweet, silly, sassy, and smart. She was my heart dog. It was difficult witnessing her health and cognitive decline. I miss her so much.

If you have problems with your Maltese, you probably just need a different style of dog. Mine is my best buddy and has no barking or matting issues,. He was a breeze to housebreak. He's my daily source of sanity and is incredibly loyal. He learned the normal sounds I make when I get up, stretch, lay down, etc - so now he makes those same sounds when he does those things. I wouldn't trade my Maltese for all the tea in China.

1. Maltese are the cuest thing on earth 2. There top 7 emotional support dogs 3. There local because they love people and friends they love any one 4. There royalty UwU 5. They have such a great personality and stay small Forever! And I'm getting a Maltese soon and I never regret it that kind of breed has been my dream for 6 years and everything ur saying is just ur upon no one else's because some people could really love and care for this dog so please don't but ur upon on the internet ty!

You're not wrong, however, I love talkative animals. I will admit my late Maltese Sophia had 0 training, but she was a good dog. The separation anxiety, grooming, being a shadow, and tripping everyone up were my only issues. Besides that, she came potty trained and was honestly my little sister and best friend. When we were kidnapped together she watched over me and made sure the people who took us didn't come close to me(she understood the situation because the same people stole her before). She was also extremely healthy to the point that cancer didn't show up on her blood work. Plus, she was loving towards all animals, especially her cat siblings. A Maltese is not for anyone who wants an easy dog, but they are awesome little balls of fluff who stay playful and happy till the end... She was MY first dog and honestly, it was the best most wonderful experience. And I'm a cat person. Everyone loved her. Even people who were afraid of dogs would send her gifts. In short Maltese are awesome, but I don't recommend them to busy or novice owners.

I got my maltese at 8 weeks old. He was yappy then, but with training, he doesn't do it anymore unless talked to. He plays outside all the time. He does his potty outside with no problem at all. I can leave him alone at home when I do grocery shopping during winter with no problem. You just have to train them from puppy hood, which is needed whether you have a maltese or another breed

I love my baby ❤ You will never regret having a Maltese.

Everything said here is my Maltese. She's yappy, clingy, stubborn, difficult, bossy, has an attitude BUT she's very smart, loving, loyal, comedic, fun, and I can't picture my life without her. We've been together for a year now, it hasn't been all over the moon joy, it's been trying to say the least, but she is my love, my daily laughs and smiles. She loves so unconditionally that the trying times are forgotten. This is the first Maltese I have owned and I'm so very glad I found her. She is my daily happiness and joy. She is a blessing.

I have a Morkie- half Maltese half yorkie named Sadie. She looks like a maltese. I have videos of her on my channel which shows that she’s pretty well behaved. Sadie is a sweetheart. She is such a great dog. Yeah she barks whenever the doorbell rings or at some strangers but isn’t that most dogs? I also adopted a second dog (yorkie) so they both have a buddy. For most part I’m home. But when i have to run errands with no one is home, they are fine. Having a second dog definitely helps - You should never leave your dog alone outside. Even a large breed. Large Dogs also can get attacked by other animals. I grew up with two labs. I had a large backyard with woods behind it. One day, they got out of the fence, and cocoa was hit by a car driven by my neighbor. We rushed him to the vet and Luckily he was okay. But it was very scary. Things happened. Also, people have been stealing other people’s dogs out of their yards. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG UNATTENDED. - You should walk your dog several times a day; regardless of breed. Maltese are very energetic. And it helps them burn energy by walking them. Also, they require exercise like all of us. It’s also good for the owner too.

Another thing to remember is that not every dog is the same, my Maltese likes sleeping and won’t be a nuisance unless you annoy him but besides that and him barking at every he’s a good well behaved dog. My family didn’t want a Maltese dog and likes the black lab breed more but my dog was kind of in need as he was found by my dad wandering the streets as a stray dog and we decided to adopt him because he didn’t have an owner apparently and I’m guessing he was probably a reject. But yea we’ve had him since 2018 and he’s been great.

My Beautiful Beautiful Boy Bailey (my soulmate) NEVER barked unless someone knocked at the door. And as soon as i answered he stopped and couldn't wait to greet our guest. He would have to stay alone at times but he NEVER barked only jumped up and down when i arrived home. This sweet loving boy was a celebrity in the neighbourhood. Had his own barstool at 335 where we would have dinner at the bar. He was a total gentleman and everyone truly loved him. His nickname was Mr. Luva Luva. He truly loved every human he met. My boy passed September 4th 2023. I have lost the greatest love of my life... He loved me through the darkest bleakest times of my life and kept me grass side up. I owe him my life and will miss him desperately until we meet again.

My Maltese passed away at 15 last year. She had all of the problems you discussed and was a little shit often but I loved everything about her, and still miss her everyday.

My dog is a Maltese and she's so quiet and she only barks when the door bell rings. The grooming is so true but I have never had skin issues with her the groomers recently gave me a card telling me about how she did and they said her skin is super healthy and that she was well trained. I've never had a problem training her but she is very clingy.

Our Maltese is 19 years old she is very old and she still gets around we brought her from Animal Shelter for our Daughnter she was 6 years old she is no problem she loves food and her health is good she is just very Fragile because of her age

yeah this is messed up. they bark because they are constantly being a "protector". they are all different. mine did take forever to train but most little dogs do. she can also handle freezing and ridiculously got weather. finally not every one gets separation anxiety

I have a Maltese 😁 my aunt has his brother and my brother has his little sister and none of this is accurate 😂 the three of them are the most settled and relaxed doggos they do need a lot of grooming but you should be grooming and looking after any breed. House training was perfect for them all I also have two husky’s and let’s just say my Maltese is an angel compared to them 😂 never known a better breed imo 😁

I currently have a maltese. She's 2 years old. I got her when she was 1. Idk if her previous owners trained her at all, Socialized her, or walked her. She is very good with kids and people in general. She loves me to death. She's quiet unless she's on leash and sees another dog or if I leave her alone. For the most part, the closer our bond, she responds well and very quickly to new commands I'm trying t teach her.

I am a 8 year experienced programmer, and I love making projects. My Maltese was def my most interesting project, ranking amongst my several year long game developments, apps etc. To me it is like a child, and there are downsides to human children too, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is still a cute adorable dog. I treated it like code. But you teach it by training rather than using the keyboard. I don’t regret buying it at all, in fact I’m only sad I didn’t get another one!

My maltese poodle mix is such a great companion, he matches my energy and temperament. He is such a laid back dog. I take him to restaurants and he'll just be quiet and behaved, he likes going to shop with me, and go on adventures. I love my maltipoo so much.

My Maltese, Betty, is the first "pure bred" dog I have ever lived with. She is far from the smartest dog I've had. She has to be kept clipped often, and has to bathe every week. She is the sweetest best tempered dog in the freaking world! I love this doggo. She loves her people so much, it's ridiculous. Maltese are great companion dogs.

A maltese our little Foufidi gave to my mother again her smile after my fathers death. She adores her. She is a part of my family.

My Maltese was house trained in less than 2 weeks. He is very clingy and has separation anxiety but he's never alone bc my mum works from home and is self employed we just organize who looks after him so that there is always someone with him or we'll take him with us. He isn't yappy at all unless someone's at the door and even then he stops on command. He's 10yo now and the most gentle, loving, smart and loyal dog

Those reasons why I love maltese dogs 🐕♥️😊

I had a Maltese for 14 yrs and I still miss her so much! It's been 21 years! And yes she was the sweetest and loving dog!

I have a Maltese and it's all about training them early. He knows he's not allowed to bark inside so he has a little inside murmer he does instead. We taught him early on stay home alone and he's fine on his own all day, he poops on his puppy pad and taught himself to pee in the shower. I could go on all day what a good boy he is. Train them from day one and you'll be good.

These facts are not true. Had 3 Maltese and had none of these problems.

I am a "glass is half empty kind of guy" but, my gosh! You probably should have presented this information as "The pros and cons of owning a Maltese." A lot of this information is accurate but in my opinion, the joy a Maltese can bring to a family far exceeds any negatives. I got two Maltese puppies in 2010. I lost one to cancer in 2011. This was heart breaking. The other one is 14 years old and still acts like a puppy. She is lovable, bossy, playful, and one of the best dogs I have ever had. They are great dogs!

I have a maltichon and he is (more or less) house trained and we taught him to ring a bell to get outside. But he is very hard to train for things like sit, stay etc. unless there is actual food on offer in which case he will obey up to a point. He is a yappy little bastard but can cope with some separation but will follow us around like we're being haunted by a ghost dog. We burned through several dog minders fed up that he wouldn't settle at night or be quiet. After that we started developing a routine where he went to bed in a room of his own at night and despite scratching and yapping that went on for a few weeks he got used to it. Routine is the best way to calm him down and we've noticed that if we leave the house he is pretty fine about it although can get overexcited if he sees people passing, rabbits in the garden or whatever.

I had a lots of Maltese and yorkie dogs with me in this 35 years, l didn’t have any problems , they are the good dogs for everyone

These are hardly reasons why you shouldn't own a Maltese. I've raised two Maltese dogs that have since passed away; one I had to put to sleep after 16 years just months ago. What I wouldn't give to hear her bark once more. Both my dogs hardly barked unless the doorbell rang or they were playing. My heart aches just thinking about my dog Tipsy (she'd walk around like she was drunk all the time). All the maintenance such as the expensive vet bills, cooking healthy food for them, grooming them myself (RU-vid), and raising them is nothing compared to the unconditional love and appreciation you receive in return. My dogs used to sleep with me and I haven't slept the same since I had to let Tipsy go.

I have a Maltese and it never barks, and the only complaint I have with it is it begging for food 😂

I have had 4 phenomenal Maltese dogs. Teddy, Kirby, Henry & George 😊 I absolutely adore this breed. I love how cuddly they are. They have all been my shadow. My dogs are my family 🤍

My dog only barks out of excitement and seeing other dogs but she never barks 24/7, rn she’s laying beside me on the bed and it looks so comfortable how she lays down 😭!! She’s a great dog for comfort and perfect for children. She never bites unless she feels threatened or hurt and my nephew will literally chase her around or lay his head on her and hug her and she’s never bothered! He literally shares his food with her which might be a problem because she isn’t supposed to eat table scraps, anywho she’s an amazing sweet and adorable doggo friend and she will never be compared to annoying, aggressive or anything else!!

I recently met one whose owner is an Uber driver; he was so sweet, and laid back. His eyes so gentle, even when a stranger got into their car, his name is Bentley.

OMG, I loved all three of my maltese. My first one I took to work with me to socialize her. My third one baby sat my granddaughter. She stayed right on the pillow with her. I became so attached that it was terrible when each passed away. I have their ashes. I am looking for another one now.

Maltese are BEAUTIFUL it is up to the owner to train their dog. Including to stop barking...I find this a bit offensive not to get a Maltese they are precious... Love them my parents had one while growing up we've never had a problem she was well trained. LOVE MALTESE everyone get one if you want to get one nothing should stop you!

I'm a big dog lover in particular, but this breed has charmed the boots off me. My uncle has one, and it has a really sweet and sociable personality. He ONLY yaps when someone is at the door. It also prefers vegetables unlike my own dogs or most dogs.

Okay, why isn’t picky eater on this list? Lol the Maltese breed is one of the pickiest eaters so if you plan on feeding the same thing , dry kibbles , this may not be a breed for you. I love my Maltese but she is definitely a picky eater 😅 she’s even over the Farmers Dog, don’t know what to feed her anymore

I’m getting a Maltese dog in 19 days but Maltese don’t bark that much and maybe they’re so easy to train I don’t kinda agree with this they also don’t like the cold but i saw tones with sweaters

Rescued my 1st ever Maltese 2 weeks ago. She's the best dog I ever had (have had 8 dogs over the years). Will never get another breed

I had one for 16 years in Florida and will get another one before I die. One of my greatest treasures!!!!!

My dog is the best so cute ! I love him so much he keeps everyone in our home smiling all the time.. Milo is 5yrs with us and only barks when the door bell goes or the post/parcel guy..Maltees for me always. There truly pets that become a family member

I have a Maltese, she 14 years old. She is very protective of me and soooo loving. She barks if a stranger comes near me, etc. has never ever been a tapper. She is the sweetest dog on earth!!

He is very quiet. I take him to restaurants, to movies, to take trains, to post office, to supermarkets, to banks, to lawyer’s office……you name it, he is always very quiet, makes no sounds. No one would even know his inside my bag and sits beside me. He sleeps next to me, he give me different signal for wanting drinking water, wanting eating food, wanting go to bathroom. Once he had diarrhea, needed go to bathroom, he shake my shoulders to wake me up, when I put him on the floor, he ran into bathroom, did not cause any messy. He is sweet, he is soft, he is lovely. When we walk on the streets, we always got people taking picture of him. I really don’t know your Maltese, but mine is totally love of my life.

Trusty Tyler was pad trained. When visiting other houses all we had to do was put down a pad and show him where it was. Never made a mess. Yes, very brave. Very rarely took him outside but he got away. Once ran into a pasture and was in a standoff with a cow. Another time chased a deer into the woods.

Hopefully, people will read the comments after watching this errant video. A Maltese is one of the best dog breeds to have inside your house. They are very loving, extremely loyal, always are sensitive to your moods and bark no more (I've actually found less) than other small dog breeds. Please, do further research on these dogs after watching this screed.

I have had two and they were the sweetest, best behaved dogs i have ever had in my life. They only barked when someone knocked at the door. That beautiful coat requires maintenance but its worth it. Pay no attention to this!

My maltese was the best.....she was smart, funny, loving, and loved people and children. She was the light of my life but unfortunately did not make her 13th birthday due to a cancer diagnose. I now have a malshi. A shih tzu and maltese....I see much of the maltese in him (Noah) and I am thrilled. ❤❤❤ .

I have a Maltese Poodle (Maltipoo). This breed is a game changer for most people so don't hesitate to get one.

My Maltese barks rarely - we can take him anywhere and he is so well behaved. He is stubborn at times but is adorable, loving and attracts lots of attention. Like any dog make sure you can care for them before you commit- and treat them with respect.

I had a multipoo who was wonderful! She didn’t bark a lot and I didn’t ever take her to a groomer! I bathed her at home and she was curly but never matted! I left mine at home when I worked and she was fine while I was gone and never had an accident on the floor! She got along with other dogs and people and traveled well in the car, she was wonderful!

My maltese baby passed away at age of 15. Best dog and best friend ever. Smart ,intelligent and very caring. Miss my baby 😪

We have a sweet little boy who will be 4 in November. He is very loving, especially if I cry he is right there by my side. Very alert to noises around our 100 year old house. He would love to eat everything on your plate, but only gets tastes. No human food. He loves to pee on my husband's pillow on the bed or on his shoes, but he doesn't do that to me. Loves car rides! We take him everywhere we go that he can go. Loves to snuggle and sleep with us in the bed. Next I have to learn about brushing his teeth. Would love anyones help with the best toothe brush and toothe past. We are disabled and could have no children so he is our baby ❤ We love him with both of our hearts ♥️♥️

My Maltese is fat asf. Why are these so skinny 🤣🤣

This is my dog. He is pure bred w papers from a reputable breeder. That being said he was only supposed yo get about 7 pounds. He is 13 pounds at just 1 year old. Not fat, just bigger.

my brothers gf has a maltase/puddle that currently lives with me and my brothers dog, hes great he friendly only barks when the door bell rings or someone knocks on my door, he eats once a day drinks water when Thursday go outside from time to time when he feels likes it, he's simply amazing no to mention my brothers gf had him for 8 years now, i highly recommend getting one if interested they loved to be rubbed daily the only downside he sheds hairballs of hair and i have to let him out in the morning to do his business but i assume all pets workj that way!

My maltese has become increasingly aggressive over the years...he moved with my parents and became very possesive of my mom.. he's 12 so he won't change.

Last week I got a maltese as a gift and for the first two days he looked at me for 12 hours a day which scared me so I left him alone in the hallway. It's okay for him to be tied to the boss, but it's too bad I didn't know this and found this video earlier. And he was so restless that I thought he was crazy 😁. And I've had an American Chihuahua for 5 years and it's not like I don't know what a dog is. That Maltese immediately ran out of the yard on the second day when one of the householders came out the gate with lightning speed and the dog police are still looking for him. Now I miss him incredibly. And yes, he asked to be petted and I did that all the time, and then suddenly he started growling as if he was going to bite me.

I'm glad I found this video. I've been thinking of getting a Maltese but wondered about the upkeep and their disposition. The incessant barking made the decision to pass on this breed. Thank you for posting it.

This is so stupid & silly. Maltese are lovely, loyal for their owners.

I didn't teach my Maltese poo training , he just goes to the bathroom on his own when he need to poo , sometimes he doesn't reach the bathroom and poo on the bathroom door , and he barely barks but sometimes when i left him he's like complaining like 'woowoowoo' not barking , there are only 7 reasons not to have but i choose thousand reasons to have , he is not lucky i am the one lucky to have him in my life

My Maltese is the best dog! She is my second. Sweetest, happiest, trained early, lives children. Gets along with dogs, cats and anything you put near her. Smart little thing. Worst thing is they love you so much.

I’ve had a Maltese for 2 years and have known so many throughout the years, their so adorable and friendly

From late teens to early 30's had low maintenance Great Danes - all friendly and trained as guard dogs. First small dog was a Shi tzu/Terrier - trained to work with Autistic children and adults so silent, obedient, calm and affectionate. Again, low maintenance as never needed to brush and l cut the hair myself which took about 6 minutes per month. Looked like a permanent puppy. All my small dogs have passports and trained to be ok with all modes of transport, and be left in kennels or alone in hotels or friends homes, etc. In the wild dogs do not bark , it is humans who required dogs to bark for guarding ,protection etc. Now 2 Maltese pups which l've had for 11 days . 1 is silent and the other practically there😅 Plan to comb them once a week and intend to trim their hair short myself so keeping in with low maintenance. If a dog or cat has behavior problems / bad habits - it's generally the owner(s) fault 😊

I see Maltese dogs everywhere, most of them have been very badly socialized. My Chi pup approaches them playfully and most of them will growl or bark at him.

I’ve a Maltese for 5 years now… this video is spot on the characters 👍👍👍. Yes, grooming is a nightmare but other than that it’s very easy to train and handle.

my dog is very alert but she is not an excessive barker, l take her to the gtoomers first day of spring for a half cut and first day of summer for a short cut, other wise its just a brush and bum shave, i will agree they are difficult to house train specially in winter and they are your shadow, but when it comes to separation anxiety l think it works both ways, i miss her as much as she misses me

The high pitched shrill bark is absolutely a problem w/ my Maltese. She will not respond to training w/ the barking. She was fairly easy to potty train though...especially after being spayed. She also will not hold still at all to allow me to clean her. I would really love to trim the little tear stained hairs, but she won't have it. I do take her to the groomers every 6 weeks.

My sister owns female and today she got male + i have a white mixed breed cat and it’s like a party here . Moreover , the female dog loves outdoors and playing .

I was a traveling nurse and I took my Maltese everywhere. I went great with Client is great with kids and adults.

I have a Maltese boy a lot of this is true I did the training at Petco & home he whines more than he barks it can be very unpleasant as I’m waking up tired from shifts in the hospital . Very cute and great for apartment city life but at times i wish I had considered other breeds like my boyfriend said to do. But I never had children so if you want an eye opening to raising a kid get a Maltese puppy 😂 Also the not peeing or pooping outside is true too I try walking him twice a day but he’s stuck in his ways on using the bathroom on his wee wee pads and even tries to go at others houses when there is no wee wee pad 😅

I have a Malshi and she is the smartest and most loving dog. She is not a yappy dog and had no problem house training her. We do not have any problems and we live in Maine. We make sure she has a warm coat to wear outside in the winter.

No matter the breed or mix ever pup/dog is unique with his or her own personality. breeds share common characteristics, however don't expect you pup to mirror what you read about his or her breed because in the end he or she are individuals and each pup develops differently. there are key basic training techniques that apply to all breeds and best to follow regardless of the breed to help them to live happy healthy lives. i wish this video would have started with the positive about Maltese pups. They share traits in common with all pups and the care of required for all small breeds. if you are looking for a family member my experience Maltese are wonderful. i have found them to be very loving gentle souls. they bond very deeply with their owner and love hanging with you on your good and bad days. they are very social. if you have the means when adopting a Maltese i suggest two so they have a playmate and it doesn't have to be another Maltese. All pups are happy in a pack home (more than one). My Maltese loved his three brothers (all different breeds but one family). Maltese are full of love and smart little pups. I keep the back door open so the pups can go out and back in as they need. They are a great little pup.

Idk my Maltese(that I have had since 2013) has been quite as heck and really happy when meeting new people I think I hit the jackpot that day my mother got that specific Maltese she got

She right about a lot of what she said but if you work at home or can take the dog with you I can't think of a better breed. The perfect wingman I find brushing mine relaxing he gets a shaving in late spring for about 50 buck and its like getting a completely different looking dog yet still making girls cross the street just to pet him. I will say the only reason I got him for a steal was because his previous owners had to leave him alone for 8 hrs a day while they work and the neighbors in the apt complex complain to much about the barking so you can't do that. Obi is like a cat in a lot of was always napping and very finicky about eating I have a dozen or more biscuits in the car that he's gotten a drive thrus he won't eat

I hate small dogs ,but was gifted a Maltese and fell in love with the pupp. One thing i like about the breed is that they are always aware of their surroundings and very brave. It didn't take long to potty train, about two weeks. The only negative thing i can say about Maltese is that the breed isnt for lazy ppl. It also depends on their personality. My sweetpie is very calm and can stay by herself. On the other hand j-lo demands attention, must pet j-lo before i pet sweetpie.

rubbish they are great little dogs

I have one and he don’t bark much and he loves to sleep

1:they do not bark high pitch 2:it is fine to leave your dog outside 3:They actually do not mind being alone... IT IS VERY EASY TO TRAIN THEM !!!(I traind my dog to sit shake and spin in a mounth!❤❤❤❤

Maltese are the most loving and sweet dogs. The o ly time mine barked was when someone was at the door. She knew many tricks and was easy to train.

My kaia is a sweetheart, not an aggresive bone in her body and shes very well behaved, just csnt leave garbage out if i go out or shell dig into it. Aside from that shes amazing

Have one here in the Philippines. Very quiet, very playful which is hardly a problem. Its 30c here today and he is fine.

I need help! My Maltese is 8 months and bites my hands and feet all the time. He nips most of the time but soemtimes he bites down hard and I have to scold him.. he does this with my 10 year old son too. What do I do to correct this?

Andrew2, my Maltese does not bark a lot. When she was a bit younger she may have. She is sweet, and I love the fact that she is a companion dog. She does not like to b along. And, I would not let her out alone due to her being small and maybe a large bird that may attack her.

I love my Maltese. He has very positive impacts to me and the rest of my family. I'm glad that I didn't watch this video when I was looking for a puppy.

Ever had a Pomeranian? Pretty much the same only their hair is far harder to care for. I LOVE THEM!!

I have a Maltese dog and she is great, fun and very loyal l love my little buddy. My Maltese trained very well to the pee pee pad.

I guess my 9yr old Maltese is isn’t normal considering she runs outside on 24 acres and barks when she wants in…

I didn’t have any of these problems with my maltese

I used to have one, but it sadly passed away😔

Honestly, if you are a good and responsible dog owner, none of these “reasons” are a problem. Maltese’s are great breeds for families and do well in both apartment and large homes. This is however a good way to deter people who are not ready for a dog.
