I myself with several maltese I could never give not one of my adult dogs away. I don't care if they have one litter or no litters. I am to attatched to my adults to ever part with any of them.(I sometimes can not even part with some of my puppies.) They will live there life out right here with me. I can't imagine any breeder to part with a adult dog they have had for several yrs. I guess that is where I am so much different then most is that I treat my fluffs just like they was human talk to them like they are human and even dress them like they was humans. I wished I lived closer one more malt around my house wouldn't matter at all.
