Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon S., the breeder behind Maltese Madness by Shannon Smith located in Walnut Ridge, AR. I offer quality, healthy, and well-socialized puppies. My puppies are raised in my home with daily hands-on interaction. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with my first Maltese, who came with many health issues. After much research and consideration, I decided to make it a mission to breed healthy, quality puppies so families did not have to endure what I did with my Jules. She taught me so much!!!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Maltese puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
