Scooter, your dog (Scooter?) in your profile is just precious! (So that's a Maltese!) She makes me smile just to look at her.

Kaili, Simon is such a sweet-ums! Is terri-doodle really a breed (terrier-poodle, I take it)? How huggable.

Yeah, I don't think he's actually a breed but he is a poodle-terrier mix. We figured Terri-doodle sounds better than a Poo-er :) or even a Pood-ier. Heehee. He looks like Fraggle Rock when his fur grows out.

Oh Scootermom, those two look exactly what I am looking for. I've contacted two breeders within a 3 hour drive from me, but my husband is now dragging his feet. I guess I wasn't prepared for how much more than other breeds a Maltese would cost either.

I'm not looking to replace my Cali, but I am extremely lonely. I didn't realize how often during the day I talked to her, and that I haven't been in the bathroom alone for many years.

I'm told that Maltese are "people" dogs and don't really mind what you do as long as you take them along, do you find that true?

Kali, haaahhaaaaa!! Good thinking!

Secret, good luck. See below. I have attached a picture of another dog that looks something like a Maltese, but is called a Westy. And a couple other cute breeds (IMO, anyway). I guess when you buy them from a breeder, they all are. Have you thought of checking out your local pound first?

Secret, Maltese are very definitely "people" dogs. They want to be with you. They are considered "lap dogs". Be prepared for yours to sleep with you! Mine are cuddly-bunnies. I talk to mine all of the time LOL.

They are also very playful. I'll play peek-a-boo with the older girl (Shorty). Scooter is very happy to have her squeaky toy thrown and she'll bring it back for me.

They love to go for rides in the car and to take walks. Sometimes, I end up carrying the older one because she tuckers out before we make it back to the house.

They are more expensive because I have found there are not that many of them since the litters tend to be small and each female has only 2-3 puppies per litter.

If you have any more questions, just holler. I absolutely adore mine!!

Secretsmile, check the Maltese rescue places. I went to www.Google.com and entered maltese rescue, which gave me a lot of websites you could check. First on the list was this one, which looks like it covers three states, including New York.

http://www.malteserescue.com/

You could check some of those out.

Oh crap. I made the mistake of looking at some of the dogs there. Now I want every one of them.

Great idea, Juju! :)

Scooter, also try Petfinder.

They have smaller rescue groups that don't just rescue 1 breed. She might get lucky there, also.

Good luck, Scooter!

I want to clarify my post, Juju. I meant rescue was a great idea, not looking at the pictures of the doggies.

OMG, you people are so wonderful. I was just telling Wargod, that maybe if I wanted a Maltese I'd have to invest alot and begin breeding them. LOL!
