My name is xxxxxxxxxxx, and I too am a lover of the Maltese. I have a 3 year old male who I think hung the moon and stars. I am looking for a female to breed him with to make beautiful puppies for myself, parents and other family members who are smitten with him. If you ever have any pet quality female Maltese, please let me know- I am located in xxxxxxx. My dog is not a show dog, although he adequately fits the standards. I just want some pretty puppies!
----------------------------
I've started a small website, about my dogs. I've started getting inquiries, and the above email is one I received this morning. I politely replied that all pet pups were sold on limited registration/not for breeding. Below is the response I got back from that email.
I don’t want to register the puppies; I just want them as pets for friends and family. Thanks for your quick response and information.

My response back was that breeding should be done to improve the breed, and that if I sold one that I felt could not be finished in the ring, I would be no better than a back yard breeder. That is the second inquiry in two days about "pets". When I explained to the other one that pets were sold on limited registration, she asked if I knew anyone who would sell with full AKC registration. I told her I didn't know anyone I considered reputable who would.
I've been told by my friends that this is just common when one has pups to place, but I sure do get my dander up. Guess I need to go give myself some therapy!
