"To summarize in just one word Cindy's integrity and capabilities as a breeder it is:
SUPERB!
When you are allowed to make a Silkess Maltese a member of your family, this means that you too are a very special person/family. While some folks may take affront to the "adoption proceedings", please do not take offense – it is just one small measure of how much love and care Cindy puts in her little puppies. She wants the best for her "furry babies" – just as you want the best and healthiest little puppy you can find. Based on my dealings with Cindy over the past year, I can personally guarantee you that she puts considerable effort and expertise into raising the healthiest puppies possible. Cindy is a "walking encyclopedia" when it comes to Maltese – and the best part, is that she is more than willing to share her knowledge and experience with you. I can also attest to the fact that Cindy will be there for you and your puppy 24/7. If I may offer one piece of advice: "When it comes to the health and welfare of your puppy, LISTEN TO CINDY – while your Vet may be a board certified Doctor, Cindy has over 20 years experience with this particular breed, and if your Vet is totally honest and worth his salt, he or she will acknowledge and weigh Cindy's expertise when rendering their decisions.
My husband Dan and I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly THANK Cindy for allowing us to adopt Abby and Zinny – they have brought so much happiness in to our lives. To give you just a small glimpse of the type of caring person Cindy is – she continued trying until she succeeded to get in touch with us after the September 2003 Hurricane Isabel hit the Southern Maryland area to make sure we were all o.k. In addition to our two "furry kids", we have also gained an invaluable friend.
If any future potential adoptive parents would like to reaffirm my above statements, please feel free to call me at 301-866-1426."

This is JASPER, owned and loved by Bob and Sherry in Greensboro, NC.
"Our little Jasper has so much personality. This photo was taken when he was 11 months old. He only requires a bath once a month just like you suggested and is very low maintenance with his new puppy cut. He is the smartest little puppy we have ever had and was so easy to train. Thanks so much for the wonderful job you do and picking the perfect puppy for us."
CAPRA
Her mom and dad, Sandra & Philip G, enjoy her so much they are getting another Maltese puppy from us. She will soon have a new brother .
Sandra writes
"I love Capra's silky hair & how she doesn't smell like the typical dog.
I love how she's always ready to be with me & so cuddly.
I love her loyalty to me and how she adores me!
I love how she makes my husband laugh when he plays with her and how I catch him sitting holding her like a baby.
Also, it means a lot to me where Capra came from. I wanted a Maltese who was bred, born & cared for by someone who I believe does it right and this is why I chose to purchase a Maltese from Cindy, and why I'm in the process of purchasing a second Maltese from SilkessMaltese. I want dogs who have had a good life even before they came home to me."

"I would highly recommend puppies from Cindy Guarino. I've had one of Cindy's puppies for approximately three years now, and couldn't be happier. Cindy spent a great deal of time on the phone with me before I brought my Sophie home, and she has continued to be there whenever I have a question or concern. We share frequent emails and telephone calls and Cindy takes as much time as is necessary to make sure all my questions are answered. She genuinely cares about her puppies and is very careful that they go to appropriate homes where they will receive the love and care they so deserve.
I've always had dogs (including another Maltese for 13 years), but I can truly say that Sophie is the all around best baby I could have ever asked for. She is completely full of personality, very loving, extremely adaptable, and easily trained."
FRANKIE
"Frankie Bender is a 15 month old male who lives in Cary, NC. He is mischevious, loving, and extremely intelligent. He graduated from Pet Smart Basic I training and starts Basic II in January 2004. After that he is going to "Click a Trick" class. He is also a very independent little boy who loves his walks around the lake, liver treats, and people and dog watching from his deck which looks over a little lake. His neighbor is a St. Bernard named Tonka, who is very gentle and loving. Of course, Frankie is the boss when it comes over ! Frankie weighs 5 lbs 6 oz and has a beautiful, proud Maltese gait like you see on the shows.... "

Buttons Stallings lives with her family in Richmond, VA.
"Buttons was born on "leap day" in Feb. 2000, and we got her that May. We could hardly wait to pick her up, and Cindy encouraged us to get her before Memorial Day weekend so her "baby" wouldn't be on the road during the holiday traffic crunch ! The entire adoption process was wonderful; Cindy answered all of our questions - some of them more than once, probably ! - and still replies whenever we email her with a question. Buttons has been a true joy to have - she was so easy to train and quickly dispelled any notions we had of treating her like a "dog" - princess status was more what she had in mind! Wherever we take her, she charms everyone she meets - even people who thought they didn't like small dogs. Our daughter just adores her baby sister, and frequently says, "What did we do for fun before we got Buttons?" We did considerable research before getting a pet, and we are absolutely certain that we found both the right breeder and the right breed for us ! "

Hi Cindy, |
Jake
"I can't say enough about him - we both just think he is wonderful. He has really won our hearts. Regards, Beverly and Doug".

What can I say, just look at her! For months I searched newspapers, local breeders and the Internet looking for just the right puppy. I knew what I wanted and Cindy had her. I found out right away though that I could'nt just call her up, give her money and walk away with a puppy in hand. I loved the fact that she had to find out about me before she would even talk about selling a puppy. That means that she is in the business for the right reason. We adore our little angel. She not has a beautiful babydoll face and a long flowing coat, she has a sweet, sweet personality to match. In our eyes she is flawless. Thank you Cindy for your dedication to the breed.
