Book excerpt: Maltese Complete owner's manual on care, costs, grooming, feeding, training and health of MalteseThe Maltese is an ancient breed, having been recognized from the Roman Empire and its name coming from the Island of Malta, which was a Roman Conquest.There is an early suggestion that the breed was originally from China, but this has never been verified. It has also been suggested that this breed was originally used for rodent control, but again, this has never been verified.What is known is that this tiny and affectionate breed has long been known as a "ladies dog", or lap dog. Their gentle and affectionate nature made them very popular with the ladies of the Roman Nobility.And, like most dogs attributed to Britain, they were brought back from the Mediterranean during the Crusades. (Think beagle, greyhound, and Afghan hound.)These lovable dogs are not only great companion dogs; they are also hypoallergenic, because they have no undercoat, the source of most of the dander that causes allergic reactions in humans.The Maltese requires monthly grooming to maintain their long and flowing hair, but they are happy to comply. They make lovable and adorable companions, with a life span of about 15 years.Get this book for a comprehensive guide on training, feeding, exercise, general behavior and much more...GET YOUR COPY TODAY

Find out the basics of grooming this gorgeous coat. Decide what to feed and how to supplement your Maltese’s diet in order to keep them healthy well into their teens.
