Has anyone purchased a Maltese from SouthernSilksPuppies.com . It's a breeder in Louisiana who breeds Maltese and Havanese. She has a nice website and seems professional on the phone but would like to confirm from other customers. If anyone has had any experience with this breeder please let me know. Thank You

Can you elaborate. Was considering buying a puppy from souther silks.
That original poster has not been on this site for a couple of years.

I went to the breeder's website, and there is very little helpful information of the type that would help you decide whether to buy from this breeder. No pedigrees, no information about health testing, and the pictures of Maltese puppies on the site are not dated (unlike the pictures of the Havanese). There are pictures of some of their Maltese winning shows, but it looks like they are from years ago (and you don't know if they are the ancestors of the puppies).

Ask lots of questions.

The general advice on this site is to go to an American Maltese Association breeder.

Agree - I don't see any pedigree information for their Maltese.
