Height: 8 to 10 inches at shoulder
Weight: No more than 7 pounds Coat: long and silky Life span: 12 to 15 years Breed Group: Companion Dogs Gentle and fearless, the Maltese greets everyone as a friend. His glamorous white coat gives him a look of haughty nobility, but looks can be deceiving.

But most of all, he loves to be with his people.
