Maltese dogs

Maltese dogs by Clemens

Care should be taken with Maltese and very young children. Since Maltese are small, they could be injured with rough handling. Care must be taken not to have this dog around kids playing roughly, because it is a fragile and gentle creature, it can get hurt easily. The Maltese coat requires daily brushing and combing to prevent matting. The coat is extremely soft and silky, so gentle care is highly recommended as the hair breaks easily. Bathe regularly, ensuring that the coat is dried thoroughly and the dog is kept warm. They may be intelligent, but they are one of the most difficult to train. Training sessions will only strengthen your bond with your puppy. It will make his life and yours much happier.
