Meet the breeder

I'm Deborah C., the breeder behind Maltese Of Arizona located in Gilbert, AZ. A special trait of our puppies is being advanced early such as their eyes opening early and already being able to sit, walk/run and play. We will introduce them to different terrains for motor development such as towels, rugs and mats. We will introduce them and socialize them as much as possible to members of our family and their canine auntie. Their parents are advanced in cognitive activities such as enrichment toys, puzzles and also enjoy watching tv. Since we are a big family they will receive so much love & care and are equally spoiled as their parents. The puppies will be set to go home at 8 weeks around September. We will take careful consideration of them meeting their father, and spending much needed time with both parents & siblings before going to their new home.

Q. & A. with Deborah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I learned about genetic testing and the overall care of the canine species. I also wanted to give my family the joy & experience of caring for animals. Within doing that I was able to teach them responsibility & what compassion truly is.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
