Maltese puppies for sale in Nunavut

The Maltese is an ancient toy breed that has been beloved for centuries. Originating in the Mediterranean, particularly on the island of Malta, the Maltese is thought to have descended from dogs brought to the island by Phoenician traders over 2,500 years ago. The breed was likely developed from smaller versions of the Bichon family, resulting in its elegant, white, and silky coat. Maltese were initially bred as companions for nobility, and their affectionate nature and charm made them favorites of royal courts throughout history. Today, the Maltese continues to be a popular companion dog, admired for its graceful appearance and lively personality.
