Q. & A. with Shari
Why did you start breeding?
I bought a Maltese after doing research on line at AKC to learn more about the breed. I went to buy the puppy and thought I had bought a great puppy. I was doing research on the internet for more information on Maltese and ran across the American Maltese website and found lots of information and learned about Dog Shows, saw a phone number for Annette Felblum, and I called her.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.
