Temperamento
The Maltese is a gentle, playful, and charming companion dog known for its deep affection toward family members. Despite its small size, this breed is surprisingly fearless and confident, often acting like a much bigger dog. Maltese are people-oriented, thrive on human attention, and enjoy being involved in daily activities as loving lap dogs and cheerful playmates.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Maltese is generally a healthy breed with a typical lifespan of around 12–15 years, and some individuals living even longer with good care. Common health issues include dental disease, luxating patellas (loose kneecaps), collapsed trachea, and eye problems such as tear staining and, in some cases, progressive retinal conditions. Some Maltese may also be prone to skin allergies or sensitivities, which can be managed with an appropriate diet and grooming routine. Regular veterinary check-ups, including dental assessments, are important to catch problems early. Keeping your Maltese at a healthy weight, providing quality nutrition, and maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce risks of chronic conditions. Responsible breeders screen for inherited issues and provide health clearances, so always ask about health testing when choosing a puppy.
