[Ringo1]

I had a maltese, my very first dog of my own, Casper. He was very laid back and very much the gentleman. He still loved to play and could walk for miles by my side. He was somewhat aggressive with strange dogs. (Must be me ~ all my dogs are like that).

I highly recommend a maltese as a companion pet.

Yorkies, too, of course, but they are much more hyper and a little harder to handle than my experience with my maltese. They are also much smaller and eat less too!
