History:
The Maltese is one of the many bichon breeds found in areas around the Mediterranean. It is believed to be at least two thousand years old and was kept as a companion by nobility. Ancient authors often remarked on the beauty of the Maltese; the Greeks were so enamored with the breed that they even erected tombs for them. English travelers during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries brought examples home with them but the breed was not seen in the U.S. until the late nineteenth century.

The Maltese is a small dog with a compact body that is equal in height and length. It has a medium-length head with a slightly rounded skull and a firm jaw. The nose is small and black. The eyes are dark and round and the drop ears are set low. The long plume of a tail is carried arched over the back. The single coat is silky and flat.
