Meet the breeder

I'm Brenda S., the breeder behind B&O Maltese located in Hawthorne, CA. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.

Q. & A. with Brenda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Maltese began with a puppy named Nova. I bought her from a backyard breeder, and she passed away shortly after I brought her home. After losing her, I searched for another Maltese but found many responsibly bred puppies were out of reach. That inspired me to start a small breeding program to help families find healthy, well-loved Maltese companions.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is intentionally small, allowing every puppy to be raised in my home with daily socialization and individual attention. I focus on health, temperament, and preserving the Maltese breed. Bailey and Oliver are family pets first, and every puppy is raised with love, patience, and care before joining their forever home.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Brenda partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“We thoughtfully match each puppy with its new family after we have had time to observe each puppy’s personality and temperament. This allows us to make the best possible match based on each family’s lifestyle and preferences. Our goal is to ensure every puppy is placed in a loving home where they will thrive.”
