Maltese owners....?

My fiance and I are thinking about getting a female maltese puppy. I was just wondering how this breeds tempermant is. We did have a male pomeranian puppy but his aggressive nature was just to much for us. We have a female pomeranian/rat terrier mix and she is as sweet as can be. Do maltese adapt well to other dogs? I also read that maltese suffer from seperation anxiety, and we do have jobs that will keep us away for 8hrs a day. I guess this is a long drawn out way of asking do maltese make good pets?

They make superior pets, IF someone is with them. They don't like to be neglected; are very much a home dog and will bond to one or two people. They are not a breed you can just chain outside and forget about. Definitely...members of the family. We've had a female for 8 years and have never regretted it.

Maltese - For all his diminutive size, the Maltese seems to be without fear. His trust and affectionate responsiveness are very appealing. He is among the gentlest mannered of all little dogs, yet he is lively and playful as well as vigorous.

they DO make good pets. they are very sweet and usually adapt well towards other dogs. but they can be a bit mean sometimes so be careful of that.

Yes Maltese make excellent pets!!
