The Maltese dogs sport a gorgeous combination of elegance, playfulness, cuddliness, and confidence. These beautiful dogs always appear in a cheerful disposition, and it is highly contagious to those around them. The Maltese are happy dogs that display a warm demeanor and a friendly expression. Their tiny paws are always ready for a chase, while their gaze is filled with admiration.
As a toy-sized dog breed, the Maltese’s size can reach no more than 9-10 inches in height and 4 to 7 pounds in weight. Smaller versions of the Maltese breed, like the Toy Maltese and the Teacup Maltese will grow to less than 9 inches tall. These cute, toy-sized dogs have a sturdy build, and despite their delicate appearance, are quite hardy. They have a beautiful round face, small dark eyes, a medium-length muzzle, floppy ears, and a puffy, curled, and upwards tail. The Maltese hair is long, straight, and smooth, with the only Maltese colors being shades of white.
