Flowing strands of pure white silk adorn the diminutive Maltese, whose dark eyes reveal the breed’s sweet nature and intelligent ways. The Maltese reigns as the most perfect of the Toy breeds, sailing effortlessly in his glorious floor-length coat, proudly carrying his aristocratic head topped by a well-placed bow. More than a priceless work of art decorating his owner’s home, the Maltese is a loving, close-bonding companion dog who lives to be near his owner and share his life with his chosen mistress or master. Written by breed scholar and Toy dog expert, Juliette Cunliffe, this colorful introductory guide provides a concise account of the breed’s history in Europe, as well as discussions of breed characteristics and standard, puppy selection, feeding, coat care and grooming, training, preventative health care and showing. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup’s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.
