Meet the breeder
I'm Joe M., the breeder behind Hummingbird Fields located in Ocala, FL. We have been breeding Maltese for 13 years and absolutely love them. We have AKC/CKC registered litters and have chosen our dams/sires for their physical traits and pedigree, emphasizing Korean lineage. What sets our puppies apart is how we treat them - our dogs and puppies are treated and loved like family!

I recently got the most perfect little puppy from Joe and highly recommend him as a breeder. He is very knowledgeable about the breed and responded immediately to all of my questions and concerns. When we met to pick up the puppy he gave us a new crate and toys/blankets/food. So helpful!! We are so in love with our new puppy, Dale. He is the sweetest little dog and has the best personality! It’s obvious he was well taken care of and socialized as a puppy. He is healthy and gets along well with our older dog too. He’s been potty trained to pee pads which has been very helpful. We are so thankful to have found Joe and our new addition to the family! We will definitely get our next dog from Hummingbird Fields! Thank you!!!!

+8Joe was super easy to work with. We got to meet our puppy a few weeks before pick-up and get to know her, mommy, and Joe. He answered our questions quickly and overall process could not have been smoother. Our puppy's demeanor has been perfect too. She was pee-pad trained when we picked her up, traveled easily in the car ride home, and has been loving and cheerful from moment we met her. She learns very quickly and has adapted extremely well to all the sounds, people and experiences we've exposed her too. We could not be happier with her and the experience overall!
