Maltese

The Maltese dog breed is one of the most intelligent and devoted animals. If you live in an apartment or own a small house, this dog breed is all you need, especially if you have children. These dogs are easy to train and learn new things quickly.

“They are great watchdogs, therapy dogs, and competitors in sports such as agility, obedience, rally, and tracking,” says Laura Peltz, DVM, a veterinarian with Royal Canin USA. “But even with all their energy, they only require occasional exercise.”

The Maltese dog needs weekly brushing to prevent hair matting. They are very protective of their family and they will do anything to make them happy. Moreover, this dog breed doesn’t require frequent and long walks.
