Maltese Breeder Approach

As a Maltese breeder, we strive to provide the best Maltese puppies money can buy.  We believe the best pet is one who is very healthy and who has been properly socialized from an early age to be an exceptional, positive, joyful addition to your life, family, friends and community.  

To accomplish our goal, we have invested a great deal of money, research, and time into the most effective and beneficial approaches to breeding and puppy-rearing.  As such, our puppies come with many priceless benefits to make both your life and your puppy's life easier, happier, and healthier!

Maltese Breeder: Benefits We Provide

We provide a lot of benefits to our buyers. As ethical Maltese breeders, not only is each puppy we sell raised using scientifically-proven rearing strategies, but our breeding approach uses the latest genome technologies.  Just a few of these benefits are mentioned below.  

In particular, we are so confident in our genetic breeding approach that we offer a Lifetime Money-Back Health Guarantee and Lifetime Support with each puppy.  As part of Lifetime Support, we provide guidance and resources in a complementary How To Raise a Maltese Puppy manual full of education materials.

Additionally, each puppy is raised in our home with our family for early socialization.  We give Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), we genetically-test our puppy's parents, and we test each puppy's personality using Elite-Breeder Personality-Testing.  Then each puppy is professionally-matched to fit their new family perfectly.  We also include holistic puppy healthcare and basic potty-, command-, and crate-training.

Additionally, a natural side benefit of our breeding approach is that our Maltese puppies don't end up in shelters.  Because we invest so much into their socialization, upbringing, and health, they develop into superior, well-adjusted adult dogs.  Imagine if all breeders invests  their time, energy, and money this way.  Eventually, we would no longer even need shelters or rescues!

Maltese Breeder: Breeding For Genetic Health

As Maltese breeders, our breeding focuses on genetic vitality!  Unfortunately, it has been estimated that 75% of dogs are at significant risk to carry genetic illnesses.  That is a very high percentage.  Because of this, we focus our efforts on reducing these risks through genetic testing.  Not only does genomic testing inform us of any known genetic problems in our Maltese dogs, but it provides us with information to help us prevent inbreeding as well.  As a result, this lowers the risk of genetic health issues in our puppies even more. 

Maltese Breeder: Embark Testing

We use Embark breeder testing on all our Maltese parent dogs.  The Maltese breed has some breed-specific genetic issues that are screened for, including: Glycogen Storage Disease Type IA, Von Gierke Disease, and GSD IA (G6PC, Maltese Variant).  In addition, our parent dogs are also screened for around 230 other potential non-Maltese-related genetic diseases.  

The Embark testing also provides us with the genetic COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding or percentage of inbreeding) for each dog tested as well as a Pair Predictor tool that allows us to select specific potential breeding dog pairs.  The Pair Predictor tool can then use over 230,000 genetic markers to predict the eCOI (Estimated COI for their offspring) and any potential genetic issues their offspring might inherit.  This empowers us to choose the best dogs to breed together, and takes away most of the guesswork.

Embark testing also provides Maltese breeders with the genetic COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding or percentage of inbreeding) of each dog tested.  Additionally, Embark provides tools that help us to determine the eCOI (estimated litter Coefficient of Inbreeding) for any Maltese dogs we choose to pair together.  

Thankfully, this Embark data is invaluable information that helps us make better breeding decisions. Ultimately, these decisions can diversify and strengthen the genetic pool of the Maltese breed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our Maltese breeding strategies are aimed at strengthening and diversifying the Maltese genetic pool.  Likewise, we focus on optimal rearing, behavior, and temperament.  We do this by following scientifically-proven breeding methods and rearing strategies.  In this way, we insure that when one of our puppies ends up in your home, it will grow into a well-adjusted, healthy adult.  Ultimately, this means we get to help bring joy into your life through one of our exceptional puppies.
