    About the Author:

    Edward E. O’Sullivan currently serves as the President of Capital Associates, Inc. Leveraging a strong academic background, Mr. O’Sullivan graduated cum laude from Boston College after studying the Classics, sociology, and political science. Edward E. O’Sullivan attained his Juris Doctor from the New England School of Law before gaining experience in such diverse fields as media, health care, and business development.

    A small-statured beast with a playful demeanor, the Maltese appropriately comes from the toy dog group, home to small breeds of canines. History buffs might be interested to know that information about the Maltese dates back as far as approximately 500 B.C., when paintings of the breed were found on Greek ceramic containers known as amphora. An ancient breed, the Maltese has been known by many other names over the past several centuries. In Latin, the dogs are called “Canis Melitaeus,” as well as other names such as “Bichon” and “Roman Ladies’ Dog.” In the 19th century, the London-based Kennel Club chose the name “Maltese,” and it has stuck ever since.

    Bred for companionship, the Maltese prosper under owners who display lots of love and affection. Unlike many other breeds, a Maltese’s liveliness remains mostly consistent as it ages, resulting in a companion as eager to play as it is to rest in its owner’s lap throughout its lifetime. Some Maltese display irritability around small children, likely due to toddlers’ proclivity for physical contact and occasional unintended roughness; socializing the dog at an early age usually solves this problem.

    Whereas bigger dogs need larger spaces in which to dwell and receive proper amounts of exercise, the Maltese does well in smaller, enclosed spaces. This quality makes Maltese dogs perfect for apartments and townhouses, spaces where larger dogs would grow restless and lethargic. In line with their desire for love and attention, Maltese dogs often experience separation anxiety. Maltese owners should take care to arrange frequent visitors or leave the dog with a trusted friend or family owner during long periods away from home.
