About the Maltese

The Maltese is an ancient breed with origins tracing to the central Mediterranean, possibly the island of Malta (though this is debated). References to Maltese-like dogs appear in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian art and literature dating back to around 500 BCE. The breed was a favorite of Roman matrons and has been associated with luxury and refinement throughout its long history.
