The Maltese

The Maltese dog is a small companion breed of Mediterranean origin, known for its beautiful, silky white coat and its cheerful, gentle and affectionate nature. Intelligent, lively and playful, the Maltese loves human company and adapts very well to family life. There are different Maltese breeding lines, including those commonly referred to as Korean Maltese and American Maltese. At CocoMartina, you can discover puppies from both types. Korean-type Maltese are often associated with a smaller build, a fine coat, a short muzzle and large, expressive eyes. American-type Maltese may have a slightly sturdier build, a coat that is easier to manage and a somewhat longer muzzle. These are general characteristics rather than fixed standards, and each dog's appearance can vary depending on its genetics and ancestry. The Maltese sheds very little, making it a popular choice for people looking for a dog that leaves less hair around the home. Although no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, the Maltese may be worth considering for some people with sensitivities to allergens. Regular brushing and proper grooming are essential to keep its white coat soft, clean and shiny. At CocoMartina, we want to help you discover everything that makes this wonderful breed so special. In our frequently asked questions section, you'll find useful information about Maltese characteristics, grooming and everyday care, as well as products designed for their hygiene and well-being, including gentle shampoos, suitable brushes and toys to keep them active and happy.
