About Silkess Maltese - New Arrival Information
I have a small number of Maltese, so I do not have many litters, but I do have excellent quality, home raised healthy Maltese. This is not a kennel. My pups are raised and live in my home. I do not have any other breed of dog. I got my first Maltese in 1968, had my first litter in 1972, and finished my first Champion in 1973.
Some of my adults are champions, and my pups will usually have a champion mom and/or dad and 20-26 champions in their 4 generation pedigree. Pups are not placed in their new home until they are at least 12 weeks old and have had 2 combination shots. Most of my pups mature at 4-6 lbs. I do guarantee their health.
When I place a puppy as a pet, it is not being sold with an option to breed or show. My contract requires you to spay/neuter a pet puppy. I am careful to place each pup in a home that will best suit it's personality, as each pup has a personality "type". Getting the pup that will best fit your lifestyle is the best way to ensure that both the new owner and the pup will live "happily ever after".
I especially suggest you read the page "How To Buy A Puppy". This page will tell you how to find a reputable breeder and avoid buying a puppy from a puppymill or commercial breeder. Printing this page will allow you to have it in front of you when you make calls, so you can qualify breeders on the phone. I recommend you only buy from a breeder who is doing all 8 of the things on this page. Buying from a reputable breeder will help assure that the puppy you buy will meet your expectations, and be a healthy member of your family.
I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have regarding my Maltese. You may reach me at 336-946-0712.
