My teacup Maltese loves to dance, but she is a very picky eater. She retrieves her stuffys she is a very good watchdog and she prays. I have not had any health problems with her so far.

My teacup Maltese is adoreable! So much joy! He loves to chew and bite on everything... just like a baby. He likes to please, therefore, he was easy to train to "potty". He is tiny about 3 pounds. We haven't had any health problems with him yet.

I've had my little teacup Maltese for about 3 yrs. I got him when he was 3 months old. I also have two 25 lbs Schnauzers. He weighs around 5lbs. I worried about him playing with the girls. Not to worry he holds his own with them. He jumps on them. He's like a little banni rooster. They tag team him but he gets the best of them. He even fights my 18lbs cat. He might be little but he a little fighter.

So far I haven't had any health issue with my tiny teacup Maltese. I thank God that no one wanted him cause he was so little. They just didn't know how tough he is.

Teacup Maltese - Sadie

We weren't looking for a small puppy but our teacup Maltese puppy mix was described as the smallest in the litter. When we brought her home, she weighed 1 lb 3 oz. At 13 weeks, she weighed 2 lbs 4 oz. I guess she still qualifies as a teacup size since now at 16 months old, she weighs 3 lbs, 6 ozs. She is 3/4 Maltese and 1/4 Papilon so you would think she would weigh a little more than that.

Sadie had to have her puppy teeth removed and she had diarrhea if she ate anything other than the special diet puppy food from the vet. Perhaps that was due to her size. We don't know. At 16 months old, Sadie is healthy and happy. She no longer requires that special diet. I guess Sadie will always look like a puppy. She's not timid or afraid but since she is so little, she's really easy to carry.

Teacup Maltese - Stephie

My teacup Maltese was very sweet she weighed 3lbs when she was two years old. She was so tiny she couldn't jump on or off the couch. She was a purse dog and always sat in her doggie booster seat in the car so she could see.

My Maltese teacup had health issues though b/c of being so small. She had low blood sugar and she got really stressed around another puppy and went into a shock. Unfortunately she died on the way to the vet. She was a amazing dog and so sweet. She is missed very much.

I beg to differ! My teacup Maltese is 3.5 lbs and he is very intelligent! He has a beautiful temperment. He has leaped off of my couch a few times and thank god he did not break any bones but has learned not to do that and uses a custom ramp. lol To my surprise, he holds his potty for at least 8 hours. He is dual potty trained inside and outside and goes on his own or on command. He can be a picky eater when it comes to dog food but loves chicken and veggies and fruits. My teacup Maltese did cost a pretty penny but the love and devotion he has brought to us is well worth every penny!

Teacup Maltese - Sabrina

by Laura Haywood

Our little dog Sabrina is a Teacup Maltese and she is so adorable. I do think there is a risk with any Teacup breed, but Sabrina puts a smile on our face every day. She loves to play, she entertains herself, she was potty trained within 4 weeks
and she goes in and out of our doggie door on our own to play and potty in our backyard. Dealing with any new puppy or dog, you have to spend a lot
of time with them to train them. They need a lot of attention. But the rewards of a well trained dog is well worth it.... Sabrina will be 3 in November and we are so happy she is part of our family. :0)

My teacup Maltese has changed my life. She is spunky yet calm and lovable. Sophie loves to play with big dogs and has the bravery to run right up to one and hit them with her small, little paws. I love her more then anything!
