I'm Chantae H., the breeder behind Mes Chéris Maltese located in Aberdeen, WA. As an active AKC Maltese Exhibitor, ALL puppies are Champion Sired (dad is an AKC Champion or Grand Champion) and some have a Champion mom as well.
Q. & A. with Chantae
Why did you start breeding?
After becoming a professional groomer, I purchased what I thought was a quality maltese to creative groom. The breeder said all the right words, to entice me as a first time purebred dog buyer. I was promised a 4-5lb show quality female. What I ended up with was a 13lb male. I love him dearly, but it was not the experience I was promised.
What makes your program special?
I am working under a show breeder with over 20 years experience with showing and raising Maltese. I strive to follow their footsteps and continue to improve and build upon their well established, quality show line.
My goal is to educate buyers with transparency, and guide them along the way to finding their perfect match.
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.
