Temperment of a Maltese - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

What is the typical temperment for a maltese? My McKenzie is just the happpiest little dog I've ever seen. She loves everybody and they all love her. My yorkies on the other hand have an attitude problem alot of the time. Since McKenzie was born blind I don't know if that has played a role in her temperment. She is just a doll.

Maltese is a very loving breed. I have never seen a breed more loyal, loving and affectionate.

I find that they are all sweet and affectionate, individual differences notwithstanding. I LOVE this breed!

My girls seem to sense my moods, when I'm happy they are wild and crazy, when I feel down or ill Matilda is by my side and stays close to me all day. The girls are always happy and ready to give kisses, they always want to please us.

Our maltese is so happy and wants to please us all of the time, my 3 yorkies want to be pleased...And my Chihuahua would just love to be under the blankets

Lady is my first and only Maltese, but she is sweet, mellow and very easy to live with.

You said it right "Very easy to live with."
She is such a pleasure to have around. So sweet and mellow. My husband needed convincing when I was planning on getting a pup. He thought our home was going to be chaotic but no way it became even calmer because of her.

I simply adore the Maltese temperament which was one of the main reasons I was drawn to them. They are sweet, loving, affectionate, and gentle and devoted to their humans-the ultimate lap dog. I love holding my 2 girls in my lap-pure bliss
