Appearance
The Maltese is a dog belonging to the toy group that is covered from head to foot with a mantle of long,
silky, white hair. Adult Maltese range from roughly 3 to 10 lb (1.4 to 4.5 kg), though breed standards, as a
whole, call for weights between 4 and 8 lb (1.8 to 3.7 kg). The coat is long and silky and lacks an
undercoat. The colour is pure white and although cream or light lemon ears are permissible.
Temperament
Maltese can be very energetic and are known for their occasional wild outbursts of physical activity,
running around in circles chasing their tail, and bolting at top speed with amazing agility; given this, they
still do well for apartment dwellers. They are relatively easy to train and enjoy a playful game of fetch.
These intelligent dogs learn quickly, and pick up new tricks and behaviours easily.
For all their diminutive size, Maltese seem to be without fear. In fact, many Maltese seem relatively
indifferent to creatures/objects larger than themselves (unless of course it is the owner). They are
among the gentlest mannered of all little dogs, yet they are lively and playful as well as vigorous.
History
As an aristocrat of the canine world, this ancient breed has been known by a variety of names
throughout the centuries. Originally called the Melitaie Dog, he has also been known as "Ye Ancient
Dogge of Malta", the Roman Ladies' Dog, the Comforter Dog, the Spaniel Gentle, the Bichon, the Shock
Dog, the Maltese Lion Dog and the Maltese Terrier. Sometime within the past century, he has come to
simply be known as the Maltese.
The breed's history can be traced back many centuries. Some have placed its origin at two or three
thousand years ago and Darwin himself placed the origin of the breed at 6000 BC.

Maltese
Like their relatives Poodles and
Bichon Frisé, they are considered to
be largely hypoallergenic and many
people who are allergic to dogs may
not be allergic to the Maltese.
