There are many health issues associated with teacup dogs. While tiny dogs are very cute, breeding for “Teacup” is a controversial practice that is not encouraged by responsible breeders.
Temperament: The Maltese is a very sweet, loveable, charming little breed, and is prized as the perfect lap dog. They are very good natured and friendly, always seeking attention. Their willingness to please their owner makes them easily trained, and as long as they are socialized well as a growing puppy, they are good with children and other dogs.

Origin: The oldest record of this breed was found on a Greek amphora found in the Etruscan town of Vulci. The first written documentation of this breed was in 350 BC and they are thought to have been named on the island of Malta or possibly the Sicilian town of Melita. The Maltese is thought to have descended from a Spitz type dog, and was owned by royalty all over the world. In times past, women carried the Maltese around in their sleeves and also slept with them in their beds at night. These sweet little dogs are often called the Maltese lion dog. They were first recognized by the AKC in 1888.
