Meet the breeder

I'm Eric W., the breeder behind Regal Maltese located in Jacksonville, AL. At Regal Maltese, we approach breeding with intention and discipline. We prioritize balance: sound structure, stunning silhouettes, beautiful expression, and an ideal companion temperament, paired with the refined elegance and silky coat that define the breed.

Q. & A. with Eric

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Here at Regal Maltese, we started breeding after showing and finishing the championship of our first showgirl, Bri. We caught the show bug, and the rest is history. We desire to see the Maltese breed flourish in the future and view breeding as a way to ensure that happens.

  • What makes your program special?

    Each litter is selectively planned with close attention to pedigree, consistency, and long-term improvement. We evaluate bloodlines carefully and prioritize health across generations. We have been fortunate to establish long-term working friendships with some of the best Maltese breeders in the world, including Divine (Angela Stanberry), Ta-Jon (Tammy Simon), and Validian Maltese (Peter Rogers).

  • 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.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Regal Maltese reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Maltese.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

    We can’t tell you how happy we are with our puppy. Eric is such a professional. He is honest and caring. I always choose breeders that sincerely care about breeding the healthiest and happiest puppies. He breeds for the right reasons. Thank you Eric and Estafonia. Good luck in the show world. I expect to see a cousin or sibling of my Millie on tv at WestMinster.
