Has anyone heard of Mella Maltas Breeder in Pennsylvania?

Can't help you, as far MO goes. In order to get into the section, you are speaking of, you must purchase a "Breeder List" from
them, within the last 30-days, which is free thru AMA. Or submit a comment, which many cannot do, as they don't even
know who the flippin' breeder is in the first place. I also believe we have the AMA list "pinned" on Spoiled Maltese. If not,
I'll send you the link.

In the past, I've known many posters, who purchased the (what would have been a free list) from MO, and still were NOT allowed
in the "Breeder" section. This was years ago, and they were actually banned, for asking WTF?? :HistericalSmiley:

I'll check around for you. See what we find.

I cannot comment personally on the breeder, but I did find the website http://www.mellamaltamaltese.com/ which states her line started from Marge Rozik - Villa Malta - now owned by Debbie Martin and Debbie Palmeiri It appears she recently started to show. These are all good points.


As for the website you mentioned - there is NO COMPARISON!! You get real time postings here, minimum sanitizing of you posts, actual help if necessary, sound advice, a new 'family', and posting your fluff butts pic doesn't cost extra. We love pics here! The mere fact you mentioned another website will get you spanked on that site - not here! Stores are named, websites are posted, breeders are here, and members who have stores are welcomed to sell their wares as long as they are a listed vendor. Oh, and did I mention the owner of this site is just terrific?!! That would be Cap'n Joe! ;)

When I first got here I posted the following thread - read it and decide what for yourself which forum to come to ALL the time. BTW, :Welcome 4: :SM Rocks!:

OK, I put my foot in my mouth! =P I was playing around with "the other website" and SM is definitely more user friendly and informative. Everyone here has been very nice and helpful. Plus i love all the siggies here! ;) I wish I had all this advice and support when I got Angel 10 years ago. Luckily, she turned out beautifully, but she does have a little heart murmur, but the vet said it was common in older age, so I'm not sure if she it was congenital or just age.

Thanks for the warm welcoming! I'm already an addict, i know you'll see more of me! I can't wait to find my new puppy and have pics to post!

FYI, Millie at Mella Malta told me that "she stands by her pups and has a lifetime guarantee on her pups for any congenital problems", I'll definitely have to get that in writing. I've also been speaking with Debbie Martin about a pup too. It's just so hard because I don't get to see them in person...or i mean see them in puppy. :goof:

It looks as if she did show for a couple years and hasn't since? I don't see any recent pics or show pics. Marge Rosik's line was owned by three kennels in different parts of the country. One was Jenny Siliski of Hollybelles. You can do research on her. It's not pretty.

Because a breeder gives it in writing there still may be catches and remember it's only as good as the paper it's written on. I'd research and talk to others who have her pups before buying. That's what most of us do.

Yes, that is Angel my Bangel or "Hairgel" She's the sweetest thing ever, 10 years old and lives with my mom in Texas. She loves to give you sweet kisses! I would have more pics, but ofoto.com deletes all your pics if you don't buy pictures from them. I'm pretty bummed as a lot of my pics were on there and the computer they were stored on is fried...

Oh gosh, there are a lot of great breeders in California... What was the problem when you called them? Just wondering what it is about the one you chose that appeals to you? Have you looked at the AMA list? Also we have a lot of resources and info here:

Have you called Sheila Riley of Maltangels Maltese? She is in your area, is a wonderful person, has bred top winning Maltese through the years and her website MaltAngel Maltese indicates that she has some puppies available. What about Stacy from Bellarata Maltese? She, too, is a wonderful person who is breeding very nice puppies from very good lines. For me the real upside of buying locally is that you get to see the pups, meet the breeder in person and get a real sense of whether or not the breeder will be there over time to answer your questions and provide advice. Good luck in your search.

After Marge Rozik's death the Villa Malta Kennel passed to Debbie Palmieri and Debbie Martin. Others may have thought, based on what they claim Marge told them before her death, that they might inherit some ownership interest, but that never happened. Debbie Martin and Debbie Palmieri have admirably carried on the good name of the Villa Malta Kennel and continue to produce top quality dogs in the Villa Malta tradition.

I met the Villa Malta breeders at a dog show. They had beautiful malts and were very nice and informative, even BEFORE the show! :)

Hi MaryH,
Sorry it took so long to responde, i don't know how to keep track and find my post, i'm still learning the ways of SM.
yeah, I called her, I was on the way to see her pup, when she got sold, i didn't even get a chance to see her! =(
I'm looking at another breeder, is it really safe to ship the pups?

maltese breeder???

I would like to warn innocent maltese buyers about Mella Malta Maltese. I purchased a Maltese show boy about 2 mos ago and paid her $2850.00 when I received him he had no testicles and a bad case of ear mites that took 2 weeks to clear up. As you probably know you cannot show a boy without testicles and I had agreed to show him. I even had him shipped directly to the handler Millie wanted me to use! This handler said even if he had his testicles he was not show material. The handler sent the dog back to Millie. When I asked Millie for my money back she said "sure whatever you want-we didn't know he didn't have testicles." How can you sell show dogs and not know whether they have testicles or not???She has not sent my money back and it has been 2 mos. I requested she send it back via paypal as it was sent to her. She then resold the dog(I was supposed to get my money back then) to someone and did not tell her the testicles were not descended before she got him. She also told the new owner that the handler was the breeder not her. You can imagine the surprise when the handler got this angry call from someone who thought she was the breeder of a dog with no testicles and was not informed. As a breeder that tries to do the right thing I am appalled at this lack of responsibility for her dogs. The woman that purchased the dog said she didn't know why she lied about being the breeder except Millie had too many dogs there and she wasn't even home-she(Millie) was at her mothers. If you have a dog from Millie that is fine you just got lucky. I had read some bad reviews about Millie but was skeptical but now I am a BELIEVER!!!

mella malta maltese

I bought a show dog from Mille 3 mos ago and she sent a dog with no testicles. You cannot show a boy without testicles. When I talked with her about the problem she said "I didn't know". ??? I asked for my money back and she said "anything you want" but it has been 3 mos now and I haven't received any money. I even had the dog shipped to the handler Millie wanted the dog shown by($350.00 to ship) the handler took him to the vet and I have proof he had NO testicles. He also had an infected ear that required medication and was matted- then Millie wanted me and the handler to sell him-she didn't want him back. She did get him back and then sold him as a pet and charged an enormous price according to the lady who bought him from Millie. I still didn't get any money. She(new owner) was upset because Millie had not told her that he had no testicles and was now going to pay for surgery after paying an enormous price- and on top of that Millie lied and told the lady that the handler was the breeder of the puppy. You can imagine the handlers surprise when she got this phone call saying it was one of her dogs!!! why Millie told this customer that the handler was the breeder we will never know??Of course the handler was shocked beyond belief. The whole thing has been a nightmare and I hope no one else will have to go through this ordeal. I am not bashing I'm just stating facts of what happened to me and the handler.
