About this title

From the Author:

Great resource for Maltese information
I was thrilled and deeply honored when Howell Book House (the premier publisher of dog books) asked me to author The Maltese edition of their Happy Healthy Pet series. The book was considerable fun for me to write. Many of the questions Maltese lover's are always asking was the basis of the book, such as: the origin of the breed, intrepretation of the standard, grooming, raising your puppy, living with a Maltese and health issues. Hopefully, you will find many of these answers in this book.

From the Back Cover:

At last, a book about your pet that emphasizes total care,training and companionship! You′ll not only learn about the specific traits of your Maltese, you′ll also learn what the world′s like from your pet′s perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your pet healthy; and how to enjoy your pet through training and activities you can do together.

The Maltese is written by a breed expert and includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long–time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan. Best of all, the book is filled with info–packed sidebars and fun facts to make caring for your pet easy and enjoyable.
