If you have passed the pet shop lately, you would have noticed Teacup Maltese puppies in the window. If you’re new to the term “teacup puppies”, then you should know that they are pooches that are bred to be smaller than their regular breeds, so whereas a regular Maltese dog can grow to be 8lbs max, a teacup Maltese puppy remains 4lbs max for the rest of its life. Aside from the Maltese breeds, you may find teacup sized dogs in the Yorkshire terrier, Pomeranian and Chihuahua breeds. Yorkie puppies tend to be similar to Maltese Teacup puppies because of their silky long hair, however, Maltese teacup puppies are a better choice for most homeowners due to their mild temper and their natural instinct to protect their owners.

Teacup Maltese puppies are friendly by nature and can easily live in apartments due to their tiny size and gentle, affectionate nature. Aside from their absolute charm, one of the reasons this breed has become popular is its stronger immune system. Whereas most teacup puppies become sick easily, Maltese puppies have fewer health problems when their coat is properly groomed and the area around their eyes clean of tear stains. Other than that, expect your dog to be active and ready to play with you or tease you with naughty tricks.

Beside their personalities, teacup Maltese puppies have a striking appearance: their small bodies are covered with long silky white hair. Their coat flows all the way to their feet that they appear to be hovering rather than walking. However, for easier care, Maltese puppies are given a haircut, thus keeping their fur clean and manageable. In addition to their magnificent hair, the puppies’ faces reflect their friendliness as their eyes are large and dark, their noses black and their ears long and feathery in appearance.

If you want to join the league of teacup Maltese puppies’ owners, you need to remember that after its adoption, the puppy will require your time and constant supervision. However, if you believe you have the time and energy to care for these balls of fluff, then while browsing a litter for sale, you must ask about the shots the dog has had as well as inquire about any guarantee regarding its life expectancy, because teacup puppies usually tend to live less in comparison with regular ones. Still, if you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart, then this is definitely the dog for you.
