What to Expect From Your Maltese Puppy
Maltese are tiny, affectionate companions that fit beautifully into apartments and smaller homes. They’re playful, smart, and eager to please, which makes daily life feel a little brighter. Plus, their low-shedding coats are a big plus for allergy-sensitive families.
Here’s what daily life with a Maltese puppy can look like:
- Short walks and indoor playtime keep them happy and healthy.
- Regular brushing helps prevent tangles in that silky white coat.
- Positive reinforcement training works best for this sensitive breed.
- They thrive on attention and love being near their people.
Because they’re small and delicate, Maltese puppies do best in homes with older children who know how to handle a gentle pup. That means they’re ideal companions for adults, seniors, or families with considerate kids.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maltese Puppies
Are Maltese good dogs?
Maltese dogs are known for being affectionate, friendly, and playful. They are a popular breed of toy dogs and make great companions for many people, especially those who live in apartments or small spaces. They are also known for being loyal and protective of their owners, which makes them great watchdogs.
Where are Maltese dogs from?
Descending from one of the most ancient dog breeds, their origin is said to be from south-central Europe. Maltese dogs were also said to be found in abundance on the island of Malta, hence their Maltese name. This hasn’t been substantiated. Malta is a small island country located in the Mediterranean Sea between the coast of North Africa and Sicily.
Do Maltese shed?
Surprisingly, Maltese dogs don’t shed much. When they do shed, it’s light and done throughout the year. However, they require a lot of brushing so their hair doesn’t become matted or tangled. This should be done at least 2 to 3 times a week. Bathing them should be done every 3 to 4 weeks if possible.
Are Maltese hypoallergenic?
You wouldn’t think it, but Maltese is considered a hypoallergenic dog. This is because they have hair instead of fur, meaning they do not shed as much dander as other breeds with fur. Dander is the dead skin cells that can cause allergic reactions in some people.
How long do Maltese live?
On average, a Maltese dog can live anywhere between 12 to 15 years of age.
How big do Maltese get?
A Maltese is a toy breed that grows between 8 to 10 inches.
How much does a Maltese weigh?
A Maltese male averages around 3-8 pounds, while a female weighs between 2-7 pounds.
Do Maltese bark a lot?
They’re known to bark a lot, but a Maltese doesn’t bark any more than any other toy-sized breed. They’ll bark if they feel threatened, stressed, or fearful when bored, enthusiastic, or just want attention.
Are Maltese good with kids?
Maltese dogs are little yet delicate pups, and although they make a nice family pet, they don’t do well with small children. This is due to the fact that oftentimes, smaller kids don’t know how to handle toy-breed dogs. Little kids tend to be a tad too rough and can cause injury to a tiny dog. In this case, they’re too fragile, so they do better with older kids.
How many hours do Maltese dogs sleep?
Adult Maltese dogs usually sleep between 12 to 16 hours a day, while Maltese puppies tend to sleep roughly 18 to 20 hours daily.
When does the Maltese stop growing?
Maltese dogs stop growing around 6 to 8 months old. Their growth occurs within the first six months, while they settle into their weights and heights in the other months.
Are Maltese easy to train?
When it comes to training Maltese, it’s fairly easy because they are very trainable and they’re eager to please their owners. Being a sensitive breed, it’s best to reward them with treats while using consistency, praise, encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
Are all Maltese white?
Unlike other dog breeds, Maltese dogs typically don’t have any variation when it comes to the color of their coats. White is their standard color, with occasional lemon, cream, or tan accent colors.
Are Maltese aggressive?
Maltese dogs can be a little aggressive if they’re not properly socialized or trained. They also tend to be possessive. This comes in the form of their food, toys, space, and, more importantly, their owners. This behavior rears its ugly head when they feel jealous, intimidated, or threatened, and in some cases, when they feel they’re the leader of the pack or suffer from small dog syndrome.
