I have 2 young children 7 and 10 but they are very good with dogs as we have a Samoyed. I also have a Sphynx.
I visit family in PA and can even go there to get one if needed. VA, MD is okay too.
Thanks. |
Most Maltese is 4-7 lbs and get one that is a true 4lbs is hard. 4lbs is about the smallest I have seen. they are look about the same size as yorkies, but their body is thicker, and I have if you have them in a long coat than will weigh about a pound more becuause of hair. Most you will find will be around 5 -6 lbs Good luck. PS I have found that some breeds call their 5lbs dogs, 3.5 lbs. Not sure where they get their scales but they are off.
