maltese personality/behavior

we are thinking of adopting a 2year old maltese. Can anyone tell me if they had any problems with this breed? Thank-you

I'm fixing to get one, but not owned one in the past. My aunt has one though, and hers seems perfectly healthy. Only thinkg I know of is eye tear stains.

We have a 2 yr. Male pup. He came to live with us when he was 14 weeks old. Our family has been in love with him and we have had no problems with him at all since he moved in. I must say, that you need to take all small dogs to the vet at least 3 to 4 times a year for check-ups and spend money on your small dog more often. Our little guy gets cold in the winter and we have a closet full of coats for him to wear outdoors. You might try to find out the reason a 2 yr. old needs a home. Has he been a problem for his owners? Good Luck!
