I have admired the Maltese breed ever since I can remember and it has always been my dream to have one of my own to cuddle. As years went by, there always seemed to be a reason for not being able to own one, a) Living in an apartment where the owner did not allow animals, b) financial, c ) children were too small, d) too busy working, e) etc. One day unexpectedly, my husband read an advertisement in the newspaper. I immediately called the breeder and at that point in time, I did not care less whether the puppy was registered or not as I did not intend to attend shows or start breeding. All that really mattered to me was finally having a companion that I have wished for for so long.

Looking back now I am convinced that fate was certainly at work to shape events as they were meant to be today. I believe that there is a right time and the right place for everything.

And the future:

The future cannot be foretold however, our intention is to breed excellent show quality Maltese.

I brought Snow-White home some years ago as a eight week old puppy. Although she was extremely hyperactive as a pup (never having time to realy eat but nibbled in passing), she was a very good and obedient little pup, never leaving my side. She did not cry for her mom the first night as most pups do on their first night away from home. When evening came, she climbed into her basket next to by bed and slept the whole night through. Although Snow-White has a mind of her own, she has grown up to be a real fine lady with delicate manners and a loving disposition.

Ramses on the other hand, was not so active as a puppy but he was adorable just the same. We had to take care so he would not hurt himself as he was extremely clumsy at times. He has a tremendously thick coat and patiently bears brushing each day. Ramses is not afraid of anything and would happily attack bigger dogs if he felt in endangered or unfortable. Other than that, he has a very gentle and romantic nature. With gestures and a certain look in his eyes he is capable to communicating his exact feelings and requirements. Like a real gentleman, Ramses will willingly sleep somewhere else rather than chase the cat out of his basket.

Then came Cleopatra. She has a devilish look in her eyes and is full of mischief. Extremely active, continuously re-organizing everything, vigorous, confident and demanding respect. Loves routine and very quickly lets us know if we forget something. Her name seems to suit her well. History repeats
its self.

In the first half of 2009, four puppies were born to Snow-White, one male and three females. One female stood out amongst the litter, not only because she was lovely, but because of her beautiful personality. As it was far too difficult to resist, Sha'Uri stayed with us for ever.
