She could do basically anything to him and he would never harm her in anyway. But having a new puppy with him now, I think would be just so stressful to him! But at the moment I have plenty of time to do some research to find the right breeder for me. The only breeder anybody has spoken about is TNT.

. That in itself speaks volumes!

I am really glad to hear that I can go to that event and meet up with maybe some of you guys that will be at the Orlando convention center on Dec. 15 &/or 16. I will private message you guys to see who is going on what day and time unless you don't mind posting it here on the feed. I want to find out from Theresa what days she will be there as I would love my daughter to be able to join me on that Sunday if she's there. My daughter is also interested in a Maltese puppy!

I will be arriving Friday and stay through Sunday. Theresa will be at the meet the breeds Saturday and Sunday. I will call her for the times. Reva and I would love to meet you. I plan to bring Whitney.

I couldn't agree more with Marj.

puppies can annoy older pets!
My Sammie was 2 when I added Penny, a 6 month old puppy. She will follow him, lays with him, bites his ears, blocks him, so on. Just puppy stuff. She will grow out of it and my situation is different with Sammie being only 3. Because Penny obeys well, its been easy to redirect her and give Sammie his space if he does not want to play. BUT if tables were turned and Sammie were the puppy it would be different story as Penny is much calmer than he was as puppy or ever prob

Maltese are so very sweet, with training I've had no real issues keeping Sammie happy. Sammie is only 3 though, so he likes to play just doesn't bite, do annoying puppy things anymore. It's funny, because it seems like he teaches her manners. I am no dog specialist, so what do I know? But if she's being a pest he will run get a toy from toy box and start playing tug or roll a ball around and she joins in. I spend lot time playing with them too. There are other Florida breeders, I just happen to know of TNT.

Going to Eukanuba is a wonderful idea. The Maltese, and I think all of the toy dogs show on Saturday. Of course some of the best Maltese in the world will be showing, since it is by invitation only. I am proud to say several SM members will be showing.
My friend Cathy (Elly) and I will be arriving in Orlando on Friday morning and leaving Sunday. If you would like to get in touch you can pm me or Cathy. If you have any options, I would suggest you come on Saturday since that is also meet the breeds day. That is where you get to see a representation of each of the AKC breeds and talk to the owners.

Drat! I had planned on hosting a meet-up at my home during this event but with my mother's recent illness & sudden death, I forgot all about it. And at this late date, and in my current state of mind, I just cannot do it. But I'm wondering if I can at least go to the convention center on Saturday.

My brain is still a bit of a mess & I'm not always "thinking straight" so can anyone point me to where I can get more info such as the building number, tickets, etc. Feel free to PM me or message me on Facebook (Bobbi Spiker Conley). Even though we can't meet up at my home, I'd love to meet up at the convention center so please let me know how to find you there.

It was fun going to my 1st dog show and meeting up with Theresa from TNT. I also met other SM people and had a fun time! I did get several Maltese breeders names and all went wonderful! Thank you all for helping!

My Griffin is from Bonnie's Angels in Palm Beach Gardens and I couldn't be happier with my fluff! My next one will come from Bonnie as well but TNT babies are just as awesome! One thing to consider is the waiting list. Once you decide on a breeder, you may have to wait for a long period of time. It's good to make contact now even if you're not ready to bring one home. At least you'll start the ball rolling.
