Breeder of Maltese

Meet the breeder

I'm MARIAN S., the breeder behind Emerald Maltese located in Kane, PA. I am looking to raise the best possible dog physically and mentally. I incorporate the puppy culture protocols into my breeding program. I offer lifetime support with each puppy I place. I will always take a puppy back if things aren't working out for you. On occasion I may have a retired Maltese who is looking to be someones one and only baby, I am focused on finding the best loving homes for all my babies. I am always available to discuss the Maltese breed or my dogs specifically.

Q. & A. with MARIAN

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started helping with Mini Aussies and then I transferred that interest of breeding to the breed that I love.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am not only trying to breed to the breed standard, but I am trying to raise well rounded and socialized puppies that will be someone's life long companion. I am always available if you have questions, concerns or just want to share a story or picture of your puppy.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
