wanna know more bout maltese Can't Post

Hi There,

I see that a maltese is a cute puppy. Cud an experienced maltese owner give me more info abt this breed.

Does Maltese bite and bark often as a puppy. If so, when does it normally bark and how only will it bite. Are the bites painful and the bark sound very sharp and incessant, until it is within earshot of your neighbour.

Is it easily toilet trained. How long does it need to be trained.

Does it have a habit to eat its faeces when it's still a puppy.

Does it nibble a lot around the legs of furniture, cushions and anything it gets its mouth into.

What are basically the negative features of this dog and what are her positive features.

I look forward to a maltese owner to give me more other information about this dog, if I have missed some of the relevant things to ask.

Thank you.

The breed should be sweet-tempered and very intelligent, smart, lively and alert. The profuse white coat covers a well-made little dog with dark brown eyes, long pendant ears, and a short solid body. The tail is well arched over the back and featheredSmile.

Well the lively part is maybe the maltese could bark alot of times. Bark also quite pain and they're lively, smart and naughty i heard some ppl said. Well, if you keep training the dog for toilet training, then it wouldnt take too long for the dog 2 memorise itSmile. Gets into mouth... i dunno about that.

The negative side is that: the maltese bite, bark and will sometimes go haywire.

Positive side is that the breed is smart and intelligent and knows what to doSmile.

Well, what do you mean by "Does it have a habit to eat its faeces when it's still a puppy?"

Re: [babyface_joey] wanna know more bout maltese [In reply to] Can't Post

i own a cutie maltese.

my maltese seldom bark unless she heard i am going near to her room, & all puppies do bite anything in her site. means wat she see, she will feel it is a chew toy. wat u should do is not to punish her when u saw her bite something she not suppose to, wat u should do is immediately let her chew her chew toys, make it a habits then will do.

my maltese take only 1 day to be paper trained, but provided u spend the whole day with her. this is very important as u really cant predict when she will 1 2 pee or poo. so if u gonna bring back 1, choose a date u will be free for few days. it worth the effort for spending few day times, then no hassle after that.

eat faeces? nope for mine. but heard shih tzu normally will..

hmm... my opinion is all pups are the same, if u r not training it, it will definitely got evrything negetive, pee & poo here & there, chew here & there. but if u were to train ur pup properly, u will find she is so great!

I am not giving u much, but i hope this will help.

by the way, do u plan to own 1?

Re: [babyface_joey] wanna know more bout maltese [In reply to] Can't Post

From wht i know is they got a long coat, if u don't take good care of it they will defitnelly change into a pups tht u dun like~ I didn't own a maltese, but i guess the coat of a maltese is same like Shih Tzu and even harder to take care of, becoz they are WHITE~ The water come from their eye will make the flur turn to yellow or red, it will make it looks not good, u must hv to clean it everyday at list once, like me i clean my ST's eye flur twice a day becoz if u let it stay there, it will be hard to clean up~ Their flur need to groom daily, to provide a nice flur~ This is wht my opinion to own a long coat maltese~

Re: [babyface_joey] wanna know more bout maltese [In reply to] Can't Post

First ask yourself do you have time, money & patient to care for this lovely breed of dog?
Most long coated & white color breed dog required special attention on coat care. Daily brushing is a must. You need to do it for long term so that your maltese will look it best all the time. Can you do it? Most dog owner did't do enough research on that particular breed before buying it & also don't even know how to care for the dog. After a while they started to give up & neglected the dog & the dog doesn't look it best lor.
Lastly, any puppies will be naughty it will all up to you how you train & bring the pup up. Patient is the key to sucess.

Re: [chrisong] wanna know more bout maltese [In reply to] Can't Post

Thank you very much for the feedback. The info that you all give is very good knowledge for me to really assess whether a Maltese is suitable for me. It looks like my fears of them barking and biting excessively are not founded on reasonable grounds, as long as I train the pup properly.

Right, I must do enough research into the various aspects of keeping a pup before I commit myself to about 18 years of caring and nurturing another life. Once again, thank you and I look forward to the continuing advice and knowledge that Maltese lovers out there would like to share with me.
