Malteses are appealing little creatures, who deserve being healthy, happy and long-lived. Buying a Maltese from a pet store or a backyard breeder, you encourage irresponsible breeding. If you want to obtain a healthy purebred puppy, you should know that only responsible breeders could guarantee you high quality in the litter. With pet stores, you can never be sure of the pup's origins.
Here are some distinctive features that make a breeder responsible. Look for a breeder who is experienced in breeding the Maltese. Dedicating oneself to only one dog breed is also a definite advantage. More often than not, those who are involved with several dog breeds are not experts in one.
Being mistrustful about your neighbors' experience with breeders is not always wise. Sometimes, newspaper ads are less likely to insure you are dealing with reputable breeders. Seeing your neighbor's dog may be the best guide to the breeder you need.
Reputable breeders tend to worry about the future of the litter in advance. They want to make sure their puppies will get to loving homes. Therefore, together with their breeding program, they plan potential owners of their puppies. Their first and foremost goal is improvement of the breed. Responsible breeders are interested in keeping track of the puppies they sell. They often become family advisers as far as growing and caring for the dog go. If something interferes with your intention to care for the dog, responsible breeder will take it back.
It goes without saying, the pup's pedigree and vaccination records should be available for you. Should you want to see the sire and the dam, you are welcome to evaluate what your Maltese puppy will look like when an adult dog. Responsible breeders keep their dogs in excellent conditions in their homes, where puppies get all the necessary care, attention and socialization basics.
Be ready to answer the breeder's questions about your intentions, dog ownership experience and environment, where a new puppy will be introduced. Malteses are time and attention consuming little dogs and if you choose a Maltese as a family pet, consider if you have enough time to repay its love and devotion.
