Meet the breeder

I'm Katherine K., the breeder behind Angel Bay Maltese located in Dallas, TX. Our dogs are bred with a focus on health and temperament. They also reflect the beauty that is a Maltese. I am a nearly 20 year member of the American Maltese Association and I am an AKC Breeder of Merit. We breed champions who are also loving companions and agility, obedience and rally champions.

Q. & A. with Katherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I used to show horses. Back surgery forced me out of that and I fell in love with a photo of a Maltese in full specials coat. I spent almost 9 years owning, showing and learning about Maltese, dogs in general, animal husbandry and health issues before I bred my first litter.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are conformation, obedience and agility champions, and some of them are all three! I am a proud member of the American Maltese Association and I abide by their Code of Ethics. We put health and temperament above small size and tiny muzzles. I try to breed dogs that will bring joy to me or their new owners for as long as possible without health issues, and be beautiful the entire time.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
