The Maltese derives his name from the island of Malta, off the coast of Italy. The Maltese is a very ancient breed, and was know in the Mediterranean before the time of Christ. He is a handsome, intelligent dog, always inquisitive, and makes a wonderful pet. He is very popular in the USA.
The coat is single, that is without undercoat, it hangs long, flat and silky over the sides of the body almost, if not quite, to the ground. The long head-hair may be tied up in a topknot or it may be left hanging.
