Lil Lap Warmers

Helen A.

Breeder of Maltese

Meet the breeder

I'm Helen A., the breeder behind Lil Lap Warmers located in Hampton, VA. I raise adorable, affectionate Maltese puppies for loving homes. I'm passionate about these dogs and want only the best for them! My breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention I give to every detail of the journey. I want my puppies to be wonderful family companions and bring lots of love and joy into their forever homes!

Q. & A. with Helen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever! I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. All dogs deserve nothing less than to be cherished, spoiled, and pampered, so I strive to place all my puppies in homes where they will be loved as family members.

  • 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.
