Isn't Chrisman over that way?! You can check the AMA site for a list of breeders and I'm sure others from that area can give you a better indication who is over there!

Welcome to SM! Sorry to hear about your Buckwheat.

 

Im so sorry about your baby passing away :bysmilie:
Hope your ok.

they are located in Stroudsburg PA, not far from New York.
Also if you consider having your baby shipped then you will have a bigger selection of reputable breeders to choose from

Good Luck

 

Sorry for your loss. We were in the same position 7 months ago.

We live in NY/CT and we went to Chrisman Maltese. I believe Chris might have puppies or be waiting for some soon.
http://www.chrismanmaltese.com

They really have wonderful puppies. There are a lot of us on SM who got our babies from them. You can check out our galleries and see pictures.
Mom2Bijou, godivagoddess, BellaBianca to name a few. I was very happy with our decision to go to this breeder.

If you have any questions PM me.

 

I am so sorry for your loss of Buckwheat. It truly is so hard losing one of our dear babies.

When you are ready definitely visit the AMA website and research. There are so many wonderful breeders out there. I also went to Chrisman from Benjamin. You wouldn't be disappointed in one of his pups. I highly recommend them. Best of luck in your search....and again....so sorry for your loss.

 

Thanks everyone....we'll check out Chrisman...also Bea Anne's Maltese....Dogs really become like your family members, don't they?

 

There are a few good breeders in your area some of the ones mostly mentioned on this site are Chrisman Maltese, and Josymir Maltese, sounds like they have good reps. Check them out!

Oh I forgot about Josymir, she has beautiful babies :wub:

 

I believe KandiMaltese is in that general area too.

Here is their link http://www.kandimaltese.com/Now%20Showing.htm

SM member -Sicilianrose's Daisy is from there and a few other members pups

Also I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our "Teddy Woofems" last December and got our "Emma Darling" Memorial day

 

Mia is also from Chrisman Maltese. They are really one of the top tier breeders and Chris is a delight to work with. All of his malts are simply beautiful. You wont be disappointed with any of his beautiful pups. Josy from Josymir is also a very good choice. She is one of the nicest breeders with quality dogs! I also second the suggestion to look on AMA's website and do a region search.

Before I found my Mia, I have have ran across a backyard breeder, who tried to sell me a puppy from the same price as a top tier breeder. To me, that is really unethical and dishonest. BYBs are really everywhere, including where we live, so just be very careful, and ask many questions. I was almost duped before I found SM and read up on what BYBs and Puppy mills are like, so it is great that you are here to educate and learn more!! Education is so important, I was totally unaware when I met that BYB, I also did not know about puppy mills and other important questions to ask breeders regarding a pup's health. Some BYBs may also start to show their dogs but that is no substitute for a proven record of outstanding champions in their lines. To me, experience and record really counts. It is what gives top breeders their reputation. Make sure you choose a healthy pup from a breeder w/ a proven record. Good Luck!!

 

A great list of breeders is on the AMA website. It is a great place to start.

 

^^ I know I have said this many times before but Daisy is a doll!! i truly adore her!! she sure is one spoiled maltese and shes very lucky to have you!! :wub: :wub:

i think Maltese is the best breed and i think all of our babies are cute, beautiful in their own way. I am partial to Chrisman Maltese because Chris and Manny gave me my Mia, which is one of the best things that ever happened to me. While I understand some may not click w/ their personalities but I did and I enjoy meeting them tremendously. They took such good care of Mia for me for over a month while I had to travel outside of the USA for work. Every time I think about their graciousness, I thank my lucky stars for bringing them into my life. They went out of their way for me and Mia and their generosity showed me how much they truly loved their dogs. It was not about money with them.

While I am definitely a Chrisman fan, I also do think that many other breeders (including many on SM) have beautiful malts and I do not want to take that away from any of them. I am always amazed at how immaculate all the malts look on SM!!

I think those of us who have done our researches are lucky to have ended up with a beautiful and healthy malt baby. research is sooo important. All of our fluff butts are precious. i am glad you had a wonderful experience but before I found Chrisman, I really did encounter BYBs who falsely represented themselves as "show breeders," and somehow they felt boosting their sale prices to match a top breeder would somehow legitimize them? i think that did leave an unpleasant impression on me. That is why I feel compelled to share my experiences because I think buying a Maltese baby should be a happy time, not to be tainted by trickery and misrepresentations. I just dont want others to go through what I did. That is just plain dishonesty and i felt that no matter how one can try to come off as putting their dogs first, if they do not have the experience/record to back up their prices, they shouldn't do so. Talk is really cheap, and actions speak louder than words. What that BYB proved to me was that money, not dogs, was their priority.

I agree with Godiva goddes, because that is the way I feel about my breeder, Josy (JosymirMaltese). I did my research, spent time on the phone, email, etc with my short list of breeders and I decided she was the best fit for what I was looking for not only in a puppy but in a breeder. I think that is the good thing about this list we can help people find good dogs from good breeders and share our good and bad experiences.

My experience was a very good one and I wouldn't trade my breeder for anyone else. :wub: I highly recommend her.

 

Good luck in your breeder search!!!! The AMA is a great place to start!!!

 

Tobi is a Chrisman puppy and I could not be happier. He is everything I could have hoped for and more. His vet, groomer, trainer (and strangers!) all remark on his good looks and sweet temperament. It took me 5 years to decide it was the right time and Chrisman was the only breeder I even considered. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and wish you the best of luck in your search!

 

Hi there,

Well, we picked up our new little girl puppy this past weekend from Chrisman!!!! She is named Bennie and is the cutest thing ever. She will definitely want to meet a fellow Chrisman pup when she has all her vaccinations. We live in NYC...
Also, who were Marley's parents? I have the lineage sheet and have already found an aunt and an uncle of Bennie from this site.

puppylove,
Jennie

Yes, we need pictures!!! Marley actually ended up being a Tobi once we got him home(just didn't want to change username). His parents are CH. Chrisman-Rhapsody's Marky Marc and CH. Chrisman's Shocking Pink. Are we related?
You must be on cloud nine right now!
