Meet the breeder

I'm Linda A., the breeder behind Augustines Maltese located in Lakeport, NY. I have been breeding and showing Maltese for 20 years. I love working with this wonderful breed and take pride in my program. My dogs are proven champions in the ring and in the hearts of their forever families. My puppies are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My parents raised Pekingese and with time I established my own program. I am purposeful in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
