I have been wanting to get a puppy for a very long time, I love my Molly girl but she is not a lap dog by any means, I want a prissy girly doggy dog.

I had a Maltese before and I love the breed, she was the dog from hell though, I learned the hard way that I had unknowingly bought her from a backyard breeder.
I don’t regret it because we gave her a good life and she was loved, but I don’t want to make that mistake again.
JR and The Girl suggested I try a different breed, Maltese are very high maintenance even if you keep them in a puppy cut, you have to groom them often, brush them everyday and there are the evil tear stains to contend with.
I did a lot of research into toy breeds and decided to look into a Yorkie. My darling Smizzo had one and I emailed her for advise, she’d had the same kind of experience having gotten hers from a pet store, she also mentioned that her dog was never really potty trained which is a pain.
I kept researching for a couple of months narrowing down a handful of reputable breeders in our area, something just kept telling me to not make a commitment and I kept looking at Maltese pups.
A few weeks ago I asked someone who has had one of each which one is the best dog in her opinion, she said the Maltese since it was easier to train among other things.
All my research indicates Yorkies are a bit temperamental, yippy-yappy and stubborn, we already have a bitch like that in this house.

Long story short...I contacted a Maltese breeder today, I let her know that I was interested in a female dog, no preference for her age really, I don’t have to have a puppy.
She emailed me pictures of an adorable 2 1/2 year old baby, she is precious! she also said a litter is due the first week of October and I could pick a girl from that litter.
I’m so excited!!!
The adult dog was being kept as a prospective show dog but did not work out in the ring, she was bred once and then fixed.
I’m waiting to hear about the fees and get the health info on her, so keep your fingers crossed that it will work out...if this is the pup for us of course

You can see her pictures here
She has longer hair now and she is pregnant in the pictures.
