I'm Annette B., the breeder behind Pupkin’s Maltese located in Live Oak, FL. We love this breed and the experience of having litters! Our mission is to raise pups that are set to become the best companions. While our goal is to share loving puppies with families, we are still a selective program. We only breed when we’re sure we can produce the healthiest and best example of the breed possible.
Q. & A. with Annette
Why did you start breeding?
I love the Maltese breed and got my first baby boy in February of 2018, and he has slept on my pillow every night since. I got my first female in December of 2021, and had my first litter in December of 2022. My Maltese are part of the family.
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.

Annette is amazing! 😁 Very prompt responses with any questions or concerns. Extremely personable and accommodating. I've had Minnie for over 2 weeks and she's absolutely beautiful, precious and loveable. You can tell she was very well cared for before I got her. Good Dog made it very easy and I would recommend. Thank you so much Annette!!! Minnie is living her best life being spoiled with lots of love and kisses.
