New Star in Pet Dogs, Dubbed 'Snow White Princess,' Formerly Beloved by European Aristocrats
This year, a friend brought back a pet dog from outside. When I first saw it, I really thought it was a Poodle dog. However, my friend told me at the time that the dog's name was: Maltese dog! To be honest, this was the first time I had ever heard of this dog breed, and it was quite a humbling experience! As a pet industry practitioner, I actually didn't recognize the dog breed, which was a major embarrassment! There are more than 400 registered dog breeds, and I used that fact to ease the embarrassment!
After coming home, I thoroughly researched Maltese dogs, and I found out that Maltese dogs are relatively new to our area, having recently gained popularity due to the government's implementation of urban pet management regulations. Many large and medium-sized pets have been restricted, so small dog breeds have become increasingly popular. However, people don't want to follow the trend of raising popular breeds like Teddy, Bichon Frise, or Corgi and Poodle, so Maltese dogs, which are priced appropriately and meet the regulations, have become very popular!
Therefore, the Maltese dog has become one of our local pet dog new stars! Let's first compare the appearance of Maltese dogs and Yorkshire Terriers. The biggest difference is in their ears; Maltese dogs don't have pointy ears, they are hidden under their long fur!
The white fur of the Maltese dog is known as the 'Snow White Princess', which is a highlight!
The popularity of the Maltese dog as a new pet breed is also due to its similarity to Teddy dogs. Maltese dogs are also one of the few non-shedding dog breeds. Therefore, they were once favored by ladies due to their dignified and elegant posture, flawless 'Snow White Princess', and the advantage of not shedding!
Now, Maltese dogs are even more popular because they are small in size, have small food intake, their fur is long and doesn't shed, and they are particularly friendly to children, so they are very suitable for families with children!
However, the Maltese dog is not perfect. Although the Maltese dog's fur is long and dense, it only has a single-layer fur without a close-fitting undercoat, so it is not resistant to the cold, especially in the current cold weather in the north, pay attention to keep warm! Secondly, the IQ of Maltese dogs is not very high, ranking 60th, which is far behind the 'three dummies' and also in the top ten worst!
