Meet the breeder

I'm Tammy F., the breeder behind Stone Ridge Maltese located in Mercer, PA. My dogs are in the AKC Maltese Breed standard with good structure, healthy and beautiful. I am a responsible Maltese breeder and take great pride in my dogs and my puppies. I do not offer full breeding rights. All puppies are sold with a spay- neuter contract.

Q. & A. with Tammy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After studying pedigrees, I selected a few Maltese with quality pedigrees to learn my way. As I developed my line, I eventually bred a top winning champion. I have the passion to improve the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    I've imported dogs from multiple countries to diversify bloodlines while maintaining the breed standard.
  • 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.

Excellent level

Stone Ridge 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 (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.

  • Standard Veterinary Blood Panel

    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.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
