Meet the breeder
I'm kathryn H., the breeder behind Bella Dolce Maltese located in Phoenix, AZ. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. Our dogs and puppies are raised in our home and are loved like family. We spend countless hours with each of our litters, socializing and caring for our puppies to prepare them for their forever homes. We truly love our puppies and know you will too! An application is required. www.belladolcemaltese.com Waiting list is approximately 6-12 months, but keep checking my website.
Q. & A. with kathryn
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in a family that always had small dogs. We had toy poodles and Yorkshire terriers. I started in rescue when I first got married but was always going to dog shows as a spectator. I soon moved over to Conformation exhibiting and breeding. I still take time for rescue as I think everybody should give back that way, even if it means just stopping during your busy day to help a runaway dog.What makes your program special?
Socialization is key. I start from day 1 as I midwife every litter delivery. I do early neurological stimulation as well as lots of touch therapy. I am also interested in nutrition & health. My dogs get dentals 2-3 times per year, weekly bath's, proper exercise and vitamin & supplements that match their needs. High quality food for their body and breed type is duly important.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
