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.
