| The Maltese is a small breed of dog in the toy group,
known for its silky white hair, though many owners of
pet Maltese give them a short "puppy cut" for ease of
grooming. Maltese are bred to be cuddly companion dogs,
and thrive on love and attention. They are extremely
lively and playful, and even as a Maltese ages, his
or her energy level and playful demeanor remain fairly
constant. Some Maltese may occasionally be snappish
with smaller children and should be supervised when
playing, although socializing them at a young age will
reduce this habit. |
