[Rocky's Mom]

Hi... I'm new to Maltese pups and am totally in love with the breed! My little girl is a rescue, not really sure if she is full blood because her ears are high on her head like a yorkies', but the groomer said her fur is the exact texture of a maltese, so who knows. We don't really care, we love her just as she is.

My questions is... at what age does a maltese stop growing? I know with some dogs it is around 6 months, but some it's older. I want to get her a really nice harness, but she is only five months. If she is full grown at 6 months, then I will buy her one next month, but I don't want to get a really nice one if she is going to outgrow it.

I'll add picture of Lizzie as soon as I get my camera back from my niece.

Thanks so much,

Hi Lizzie's Mom and Welcome! Your little girl is beautiful. Hope you like it here...the women are wonderful. My little guy (almost 9 months) looks like he's stopped growing already. He's been five pounds for a few months now. He got taller and longer, but still is a little squirt. He still fits into a size XS. I got him a harness that is adjustable.
