I'm Deborah B., the breeder behind Cottonwood Maltese located in Bennettsville, SC. We breed both partial Korean and full Korean maltese. Our maltese are bred for beauty, and through socialization starting at birth- temperament. We breed exotic colored Yorkie’s as well. We have all colors and breed our dogs to get the smaller size without sacrificing health in our Maltese Yorkies and Morkies. Our average size is 4-5 pounds. I started breeding Maltese and Yorkie’s to improve the breed and match puppy to owner. Through Good Dog we help eliminate the possibility of a scams by others.

Mom is 100% Korean and dad is a Polish import gold and white exotic yorkie. They should be between 4-5 lbs and aren’t big. So cute!!! Don’t miss out on these beauties!!!

Zoe is a wide open natural female! But if she sees you hand she turns halfway over and wants face scratches and belly rubs. Then it is back to the adventure of Zoe’s life. We live in her world not the other way around. She is a warm and affectionate mom!

About Rain
Hi I am Rain. My mom says I have the sweetest nature and the most beautiful face…she says the sweetest part about all of my doggy friends but being so beautiful is true! I am a light chocolate with a darker mask and paws. I have hazel eyes that can melt the soul and I really am sweet. Mom has a hard time getting pictures of me because belly up is my favorite position. I get lots of belly rubs that way. I am a small girl but more like the old style of Yorkie with heavier bone and nice muscles. My coat is oh so soft and doesn’t mat easily. Not sure what else I can say about myself but you can send a message to my mom if you have questions (she loves to tell people how much she loves me!)

About Houdini
Houdini has a fun personality. He likes to flip his toys to me or turn around and kick them with his hind legs. When he plays with his “brother” he will often turn and either hip check or kick him with his hind legs. He likes to sleep curled up in the crook behind my knees. He is very sweet and plays well with any of the puppies we have in our home. He produces small puppies.

About Mia
Mia is an amazing mother. She takes excellent care of her puppies yet has always allowed us access to them and assist her in her birthing process. She loves to play with her puppies as they get older (always gently) and never minds them tugging on her ears or tail. We have to make her stop nursing the pups. When not being a mother her favorite pastime is to play fetch in the hallway or wander around outside when the weather is nice. She is a good dog.

The entire process of getting a puppy from Deborah was much easier and faster than I thought it'd be. Within a few days of communicating with her, I had a sweet, beautiful, 14 month old female yorkie puppy in my arms, who had traveled more than 750 miles to get to her new home with me! Deb continues to provide advice and support and I am very grateful for that! My little gal, whom I named Hazel, is adjusting very well and knows she is loved! Deb really gave my Hazel the best start in life!

One would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and professional breeder than Deborah. After a multitude of questions answered, numerous conversations, and regular updates and photos/videos, we now possess our absolutely beautiful and extremely intelligent fur baby, Bonnie! Deborah's understanding and compassion are incomparable. Our pick-up went without a hitch and we are so thankful for her husband sacrificing his valuable time to meet us halfway. ❤️

My experience was amazing! They were extremely communicative and worked with me along the way I adopted a beautiful Yorkie on August 16 he was puppy pad trained when we got home. He did his pee pee and poo poo on the puppy pads. We were amazed. He is very healthy and smart. Thank you, Deborah for allowing me to be this puppy's mommy

Our family was so excited to work with Cottonwood Maltese - Deborah and Dale were so accommodating and made it easy for us to do the pick up. I was a little hesitant at first to work online, but once we started conversing, I realized this was a really easy and beneficial way to go. We love our new baby ONYX !

Clearly Deborah puts a lot of effort, and love into the care of her pups , and it shows with our Maltese girl Lilly . It didn't happen by accident that our fur angel was well socialized early on, and healthy . Deborah answers any, and all questions and concerns with urgency and, kindness .Deborah thoroughly explains anything you need or want to know . Also I love the fact that she cares to know how pups are doing for life if I desire to share . Good dog is a fantastic site , and I would recommend good dog and Deborah to all who are loving parents to be .
