Meet the breeder

I'm Gina M., the breeder behind Maltese Love located in North Chesterfield, VA. I am a in home Maltese hobby breeder focused on raising healthy, well-tempered puppies in a loving family environment. Our dogs are raised in our home, not kennels, and receive daily socialization, hands-on care, and regular veterinary attention from birth.

Q. & A. with Gina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding through my love for Maltese dogs and wanting to preserve the breed’s gentle temperament and beauty. After owning and learning from my first Maltese, I decided to breed responsibly, focusing on health, proper pairing, and giving each puppy the best start in life.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because it is small, hands-on, and health-focused. Puppies are raised in a loving home environment with daily interaction, early socialization, and close monitoring. I prioritize quality over quantity and lifelong support for my puppy families. A purebred Maltese can have lemon-colored ears for a few normal reasons and it doesn’t mean they aren't purebred. The most common reasons 🍋 1. Lemon markings (natural pigmentation) Some Maltese are born with lemon or light tan shading, especially on the ears or back. • This is called lemon or cream shading • It’s caused by recessive genes • Very common in puppies, but it can remain into adulthood • AKC still considers this purebred (even if it’s not preferred for show)

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and white and lemon. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Gina was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and answered all of my questions even before I put a deposit in and now after 2 months of having our baby. We love our little Benji so much. He is so sweet and came to us around 7-8 weeks socialized and puppy pad trained. Prior to picking Benji up, Gina facetimed us so we could see him because we lived far away. She also provided us with a travel kit, carry pouch and blanket that smelled like the litter mates to bring home for extra comfort. I can tell Gina really cares and looks after her dogs. 100% recommend her!

    Getting my puppy from Gina was such a positive experience from the very beginning, she was kind and patient. She took the time to answer all my questions, no matter how small and made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process when it came time to bring my puppy home everything was well organized. I would absolutely recommend Gina to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder.
