hi everyone. i'm looking for my first maltese baby. Lost my wonderful yorkie after 11 years and dont want to replace her. i thought that a maltese would be similar in size, care, and loyalty, yet being white, would be a fresh start. does anyone know a reputable breeder in new jersey?

I'm so sorry for the lost of your little boy. Maltese and yorkies are very much alike in many ways. Since maltese are white they might show some eye stains. But many maltese from reputable breeders have minimum eye stains or none at all.

Here's a good start

If they don't have any available I'm sure they can guide you to someone else. Also, please don't rush into buying one and look around.

I just got my Maltese from a wonderful breeder in PA. Beverly Quilliam. She's amazing. It's on the list. :)
