Hopefully if we decide to get another Malt it'll be before Cloud is 6 years old...I just hope he'll live a loooooong time..He's my 'baby'..before the actually kids (f.y.i - not married nor pregnant yet)...I love him so much that I keep telling my BF that I want to pass on his genes before getting him neutered.

Please do not take this the wrong way but this is a completely inappropriate reason to not neuter your dog. Only those dogs that are judged to be great representations of the Maltese breed should ever be kept unaltered and used for breeding purposes. If you breed Cloud you would be taking on the unglorious title of a "Back Yard Breeder" and these individuals are not well thought of on this forum or in the general public.
Please take Cloud to be altered immediatly and erase any ideas from your head about breeding him to any future female maltese you might own or any other maltese for that matter. You would be doing such a disservice to Cloud to keep him unaltered for such a selfish purpose. Trust me - he doesn't care about passing on his 'genes' and neither should you. You should simply enjoy his companionship.
