Keeping the little one safe in the beginning weeks & months are important, as it will take almost up to a year to "top out" at the 4 lb. mark. In the meantime, you will teach your Maltese how to be gentle, and they will do just fine.
Other types of injuries, such as falling, being stepped on or dropped, etc. are probably a bigger worry than the new pup being injured by another pup.
Have fun. |
