Meet the breeder

I'm Valerie K., the breeder behind Maltese By Valerie located in Wilson, NY. Our dogs excel in the ring and as beloved companions. We are very proud of their accomplishments and those of their puppies. When we bring a life into the world, we make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.

Q. & A. with Valerie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Coming from a generational dog family, I was brought up in dog sports
  • What makes your program special?

    I fully support recommendations of the American Maltese Association in my health testing of breeding dogs. My dogs are bred as close to the AKC Maltese standard as possible and I strive to improve with every litter. I have finished several AKC Champions.
  • 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.
