What’s good and bad about the Maltese?
Pros:
- Good watchdog
- Intelligent and lively
- Loves attention, pampering and your lap
- Doesn’t shed much, may be fine for owners with allergies
Cons:
- Grooming demands are high – daily brushing is required to maintain a lustrous coat, not to
mention keeping his coat white and avoiding tear stains - Usually difficult to housebreak
- Will be neurotic and timid if over protected and over indulged
