About Maltese
The Maltese is an ancient breed of dog originating from the Mediterranean island of Malta. Known for their long, silky white coat and gentle temperament, these dogs have been cherished companions for centuries, often associated with royalty and aristocracy. Despite their delicate appearance, Maltese dogs are intelligent and playful, capable of participating in dog sports like agility and obedience. They are primarily kept as companion animals due to their small size and affectionate nature. Maltese are relatively hypoallergenic, making them a popular choice for people with allergies. Their lifespan typically ranges from 12 to 15 years.
Size Overview
The Maltese is a small dog breed, known for its charming and affectionate nature. A typical Maltese measures approximately 280mm (28.0cm) in length and width, and stands around 200mm (20.0cm) tall at the shoulder. To put it into perspective, a Maltese is about the size of a small shoebox or a large loaf of bread. They are small enough to comfortably fit in the lap and can be easily carried. Their compact size makes them well-suited for apartment living and travel, a quality that contributes to their enduring popularity.
