Q. & A. with Marlene
Why did you start breeding?
Our breeding journey began with Morkies, where we discovered our passion for raising beautiful, loving companions. Our admiration for the Maltese breed inspired us to take the next step and establish Dreamhouse Maltease. With the addition of Ken, our AKC-registered male with Korean bloodlines, we are excited to focus on purebred Maltese.What makes your program special?
What makes Dreamhouse Maltease special is that our dogs are truly part of our family. Our puppies grow up in our home, surrounded by everyday life, attention, and plenty of love. We're proud of Barbie and Ken's AKC pedigrees, but what matters most to us is raising happy, well-loved puppies who already know what it feels like to be part of a family before joining yours.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.
