I'm Charlie S., the breeder behind Maltese of Oak Grove located in Newton, NC. We love the Maltese breed and are dedicated to providing healthy pets with good temperaments and conformation. The AKC (American Kennel Club) states that the Maltese are considered “to be among the gentlest mannered of all little dogs, yet lively and playful as well as vigorous.” They love everyone and everything, including children and other pets. They absolutely are the most loving and affectionate little dog you could ever imagine. We are passionate about providing quality Maltese to loving forever families!
Q. & A. with Charlie
Why did you start breeding?
We have always loved the breed and had a mentor that suggested we breed our female with her male. We enjoyed that first litter so much that one thing led to another, never dreaming we would be where we are today! Our program is means for preserving the Maltese with it's best qualities for generations to come!
What makes your program special?
Maltese are really great emotional support dogs. We have seen first hand how beneficial this has been to many of our buyers; many who have become great friends! From filling the void of a cherished pet that has passed on, to seeing the emotional support they offer an anxious child, is very rewarding. We now have 2nd and 3rd generation placements with the same people. In addition to health and temperament, we breed for a compact (cobby) body and cute teddy bear face with short muzzle.
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.
