Interesting Information
Maltese Looks
These dogs usually have a small rounded head with a dome that is around as wide as a baseball. They have a black button nose and small black eyes. Their body tends to be short in both length and height. Their ears drop down and usually have long hair that is surrounded by skin that is a darker color. They call this a halo and this is what makes the Maltese dog have an expressive look. Sometimes their black noses fade to a light brown and even sometimes pink color but this happens mainly when they are not exposed to a lot of sunlight. They appropriately call this winter nose as it usually gets back its shade of black after exposure to a good amount of sun.
Maltese dogs have silky long coats of hair but have no undercoat. They are usually pure white but may also have cream color or may have a light lemon color on the ears or a touch on the back. You will rarely find these dogs in a pale ivory color and sometimes with traces of a pale orange. It is important to note that these dogs have hair and not fur and so they are suitable for persons who have allergies. This means that you will need to regular groom them so that their hair doesn’t become matted.
Other Skin Areas
Any other areas on the Maltese that are not considered to be “points” such as the belly, genital area, inside of the ears, tongue, etc can range from pink to black. Spotted areas are common. especially on the belly. When it comes to the belly, a pink Maltese stomach will often change to black or develop black areas with sun exposure. For those who want to keep black areas to a minimum the dog’s belly should apply sunscreen to their Maltese whenever their dog is going to be outside for more than 15 minutes. Even for those who do not care what color the belly is…And it truly does not matter…applying sunscreen is always a good idea, so that the puppy or dog does not get any sunburns, which can be quite uncomfortable.
Maltese Dogs Temperament
Maltese dogs have a very nice temperament and are good companion dogs. They love attention and are very lively and playful creatures. Even when they get older they still retain their lively and playful nature. Some of them tend to snap at smaller children so be sure to ensure that your children are supervised when in the presence of the Maltese. It is also good to allow the dogs to socialize with children when the dogs are young so that this tendency to be snappish will be reduced later on in life. They have a preference for enclosed spaces and so are ideal for apartments, townhouses or homes with small yards.They have a tendency to bark a lot so you may want to find a bark collar for them if you live in an environment where their barking may be offensive or bothersome to your neighbors.
Open Fontanel– Open Fontanel is seen in several toy dog breeds. The fontanel is the area at the top of the skull where the bone plates merge. When babies (human and dog) are born the bony plates of the skull are
usually partly soft and separated. Usually this area closes but sometimes the bony plates never
completely fuse, leaving a small hole in the top of the skull that has a soft mushy feel when you
touch it like the soft spot on an infant. The affected pup can live a long, full and active life.
Precautions the owner should take include protecting the puppy from being hit on the head, preventing
situations where the puppy might fall and not allowing the puppy to jump from furniture, beds, etc.
These are precautions that should be taken with ANY puppy of ANY size anyway, so just be aware that
the tiny open spot at the top of the head is unprotected and of course, they should always be supervised with small children, open fontanel or not.
It is very common for the very tiny puppies to have open an fontanel considerably longer than larger puppies. It is very rare though that they do not close completely by the age of 1 year old.
Open fontanels are actually quite necessary as young puppies just as the soft spot on a baby. They enable the head to mold so that they will fit through the birth canal and they enable the brain to grow within the skull without being squished and putting pressure on the brain.
Open Fontanel is not the same as a Hydrocephalus puppy. Some vets are not familiar with open
fontanels and can cause undue alarm to puppy owners.
