Hi,
I am new to the forum, just joined the other day. This is an amazing place with a wealth of information that I have been happily exploring. I do not own a maltese yet, but really, really, really want one. My hubby is finally on board, but I am still a little worried and wondering if it's a right step to take.
I was a stay at home mom, but my kids are now 19 and 17, so for the past several years I've been working from home and helping my hubby with his business. I am owned by two fabulous standard poodles Mr. Darcy and Lizzy (yes I love pride and prejudice). They are great, well adjusted dogs who get along great with dogs of any size, yet I am still a little worried. I have wanted a little dog for a very long time, a constant companion and even looked at toy poodles. But, found that their temperament is not at all what I was looking for. I found them barky, unfriendly and nothing like my standards. On the other hand I've met a lot of little maltese that frequent our dog parks that have absolutely the best personalities. They are friendly, outgoing and happy go lucky.
I guess I am really asking if anyone on the forum is owned by both large and small dogs and how does it work for you. Also can you please recommend a good, reputable breeder in Northern California? I live in San Francisco and prefer not to have my baby flown to me. I have a very strong preference for the look of Angel and Marcris Maltese, does anyone in California breeds for that type????
Thanks a lot and sorry for being so long winded.
