Silky Malti Puppies
Meet the breeder
I'm Andrea T., the breeder behind Silky Malti Puppies located in Marietta, GA. Silky Malti Puppies are officially known as silkeses - we just like Silky Malti better! We're bringing together the best of both breeds: intuitiveness, athleticism, affection, companionship and intellect. You just can't beat the joy of a Silky Malti Puppy! Pedigreed, registered, healthy and fun!
Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
I never thought I would do breeding. It was truly my husband's idea. Once we purchased our first dog together, Millie (our silky terrier) and then her companion, Vanilli (aka Fluffy, our maltese), considering the temperaments and personality, physical traits and stellar qualities of both, we couldn't help but think they would make amazing pups together! We were right.What makes your program special?
No one that we know of is purposefully breeding what are technically known as silkeses (what we prefer to call Silky Maltis - sounds better). However, it's a strong designer toy breed! It's the best of both worlds: athleticism and intuitiveness, intellect and attentiveness, comfort and quick wit. We conduct ENS (early neurological stimulation) training with all our pups to make them "super dogs!"What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Companion Cross puppies are small size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Maltese puppies are white. Companion Cross puppies include white, black and tan, and black and white. Silky Terrier puppies are silver and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
