ABOUT OUR BUSINESS First of all, we like to clarify that all of our breeding males and females are here with us on the acreage and we own them all. We also only raise Maltese puppies as they are our first love. We do not broker or sell to pet stores, only one-on-one with private individuals like yourselves. We have worked very hard as Maltese breeders to produce a beautiful and healthy maltese dog, most times resulting in a much higher quality and healthier dog than you might find with other situations. And we are very thankful for the fact that we very very seldom have health related issues with any of our dogs. All of our Maltese puppies have champs in their pedigrees, but are not champion sired. You are always welcome to visit our home and check out our facilities and dogs to ease any misgivings you naturally would have. Also, personal references are welcome and encouraged. ABOUT MALTESE IN GENERAL The AKC (American Kennel Club) states that the Maltese is considered "to be among the gentlest mannered of all little dogs, yet lively and playful as well as vigorous." They love everyone and everything, including children and other pets. We refer to them as "little lovers." They do not have that "doggie smell," are hypoallergenic, don't shed, and absolutely are the most loving and affectionate little dog you could ever imagine. A well-bred maltese is very intelligent. They are quite easy to house break, especially if you do it correctly and follow the potty training sheet that we include when shipping. Our particular puppies are usually between 5-7 lbs. Sometimes we get a 4 lb and sometimes 7-8, but not as often. SHIPPING, HEALTH GUARANTEE, REGISTRATION Shipping is $170-$200, seldom more. In addition, the airlines all require the puppy to be health checked, which is $45 and will include a rabies shot if appropriate. Also, the new hard sided carrier that the puppy is shipped in is $25, and you keep it. We wait to ship until the pup is 11-12 weeks old. We offer a one-year health guarantee on life-threatening genetic defects in the puppy, such as heart murmur, liver shunt, etc. We want to be honoring to the Lord in dealing with all of our clients if a problem should occur. All of our parents are registered with AKC and ACA, and we make every effort to build integrity into the breed. We have just welcomed two champion bred males into our lines to continue with the gorgeous "look" we have already established. IS SHIPPING REALLY SAFE? Yes, only flights specifically set up to accommodate live animals will even accept a booking. It is very highly regulated. The aircraft must be heated, air conditioned , and pressurized with airflow. There are also weather and temperature restrictions. The animals are the last ones on the plane and the first off. We ship at approximately 12 weeks of age as a safety precaution, with the pups being insured, although I have never, in all these years, had to file a claim. SHOTS AND WORMING Puppies get their shots at 9, 12, and 16 weeks, as well as 5 worming , so will come with their first shots according to their age.. A shot/worming schedule is included with dates administered, to give to your vet.
