Meet the breeder

I'm Janice H., the breeder behind Heltons Little Gems located in Walker County, GA. All of our dogs are loved as family members! We cherish them from the first moments up to when they leave our arms to snuggle into yours. Maltese are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. We are dedicated to achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we are always working to further our education so that we can continue to improve our breeding program.

Q. & A. with Janice

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first pet was a maltipoo. They are extremely smart, loyal, loving and ready to please. My Willow learned new tricks and was so easy to potty train. From there, I wanted everyone to have a piece of that heaven.

  • What makes your program special?

    My babies are treated as family members. Even their babies are treated well. They roam the house as if they own it. Super friendly to anyone they meet. They will be on their way to pad training when you receive your baby. My babies do not go outside. So they are free from any diseases or parasites. Your puppies will not come to you unless they get a clean bill of health.

  • 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.

    From the very first message to bringing little Leo home, the entire experience has been wonderful. I truly appreciated how responsive and caring Janice was — always quick to answer my questions and send updates as Leo grew. Leo has been such a sweet, gentle-tempered puppy, already showing that calm, loving personality she described. He’s adjusting beautifully, and it’s clear he was raised with care and socialization. Bringing him home has been such a joy. We’re learning each other’s rhythms and building a great bond day by day. I couldn’t be happier with the experience — and I’m already dreaming about adding a little sister for him someday once he’s fully settled. Thank you again for such a wonderful start to Leo’s life.
