I am a small breeder of Maltese puppies that are played with daily by my four small children. When our puppies leave for their forever homes they are well adjusted and loving. All puppies leave with at least two sets of shots, wormings and a vet exam. Our Maltese are APR registered but can be AKC for an additional small fee. I offer a one year health guarantee. I do ship my puppies but I don't let them leave until I know they will travel well, usually around ten weeks of age.
