I have had friend with one as a pet and they are one of the most friendly dog that I have meet.

I have no idea what breed of dog the people of Malta ate when they ran out of food during the German blockade of WW I I, but they were eating dogs and horses too.
And it is no secret that the Chinese have been using animals that we consider pets as food for centuries. I honestly do not have a problem with that, and it’s really none of my business anyway. We eat cows and in certain parts of the world that makes us blasphemers.

Does anyone know anything about small dogs like a maltese or a lapso apso?

I’m in college and I’m a huge animal lover. I have two cats living with me who were used to having 2 big dogs running around the house. Now that I’ve moved into an apartment I can only have small dogs. I really want to get a small dog and I know my cats would love it. I want either a maltese or a lapso apso but I want to know some advantages and disadvantages of both. I’m trying to avoid a lot of barking or biting on your ankles. I need help choosing!!!!

ankle bitters are usually herding dogs. I would really go to websites of the breeds you are interested if you are set on them…and ask them there. they can better answer those questions.

You will have a bigger cluster of people to answer who really know those breeds…

I might add..a rescue site…where you might find a dog o those breeds who is already used to and loves cats…

good luck!

Do maltese full grown dogs grow to be big? Does anyone know for sure?

I looked on many sites regarding their size, and i cant find a sure answer. im looking to buy a very small dog, and the maltese seemed the cutest and best choice but im scared it will grow too big. let me know what you think.

The Maltese should be between 9-10 inches tall and weigh between 4-7 pounds when fully grown.

is artemis meat food good for little chiihuahuas and maltese dogs?

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 07:48:54 +0000

i heard artemis is good but i don’t know about the meat food..

For either of those dogs I would probably go with Artemis Fresh Mix – Small Breed Adult.

It is a really good food!

The first five ingredients in this food are all named meat products. The first two of these are meat inclusive of water content (about 80%) and once that is removed it is likely that these ingredients would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). However, since they are followed by three meat meal ingredients, you can have very high confidence in the level of meat content of the food. There is a further meat ingredient 11th on the list. The latter of these this is too far down to make up a substantive portion of the food. That is salmon, a source of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids.

The main grains are rice and barley. Both are whole grains and good quality sources of carbohydrates and additional protein. Oatmeal is a further good quality grain in the food. The food contains a range of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as whole eggs. Flax seed is a good quality source of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids, and the food contains a range of pro-biotics.

Overall, this is a very good quality food with a good amount of meat and that uses high quality ingredients throughout. The food contains no fillers, no grain fragments, or other nasties that commonly cause problems for dogs.

are Maltese dogs a good breed if you want a dog who is calm and gentle ?

easy to take care of . any input would be good. im looking for a teacup. i dont want the 7 pounder ones

There is no such thing as a teacup.. They are runts, bred to runts, bred to runts.. Taking nothing else .. health, temperament or anything else into consideration. Dogs bred for one thing only are sickly, diseased, dogs with health problems, horrible structure and die very very young.. Do not support backyard breeding and puppymills..

any tips on maltese dogs excessive barking?

admin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:38:27 +0000

I have a 2yr old maltese that barks excessively at any little noise or person..how do i get it under control. it is very annoying to me and my guest.

maltese are yappy dogs… next time I suggest just getting a different breed lol… but really it is the nature of the breed to bark obnoxiously at little things… theres not a whole lot you can do about it.

do i let her have the pups or not this wasnt ment to happen yet so young i need some advice

If you *KNOW* she’s bred(how’d THAT happen? YOUR FAULT!!!),it’s too late for chemical treatment.

Yes,you can spay NOW! DO IT! Your dog will be WAY better off.

Yes,she’s WAY too young! You are guilty of neglect & mis-management.

Hurt your feelings? Make you feel worse? GOOD!

Do maltese dogs make your house smell bad?

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 09:46:24 +0000

I am thinking about buying a maltese but I don’t want my house to smell bad! Do maltese dogs make your house smell awful?

I have two Maltese and they in no way make my house smell bad. Because Maltese have hair that barely sheds and a minimal amount of dander they don’t really have that "doggie" smell.

I crate trained my Maltese and we had minimal accidents in the house.
