my best friend has a maltese and she just said yesterday, that although she loves her dog, she was told that Maltese are perpetual puppies. She thought at the time she bought him, "oh won't that be fun" But now at nearly 3 he is still chewing up everything, she's thinking perpetual puppy isn't so fun.
Go with a pure breed. We are not doing any breed any good by promoting so called designer dogs - I just think this promotes more puppy mills & backyard breeders. Therefore, that's why more of these dogs have health issues. I realize this may not be a popular statement with those that own mixed breed dogs. It's just my opinion & I don't want to offend anyone. |
