Arrival Story: I originally researched maltese breeders across the country a few years back when I contemplated about getting a second dog while Babi was still alive. After much thought, I decided to let Babi live out the rest of her days as an "only child". Since her passing in April 2009, I knew I could not live without a maltese in my life. I contacted the same list of breeders I had saved to inquire about puppy availability. I decided in the end to go with a reputable show breeder in Florida who I felt comfortable with.
Hachiko is from a litter of 3 puppies. The other 2 maltese were sold for show and Hachiko was watched until the age of 6 months as a show potential. Everything about him, according to his breeder, was perfect until his adult teeth came in and there was malocclusion. I flew down to Florida shortly thereafter to pick him up from his breeder when he turned 7 months old. Although Hachiko was not able to become a glamorous show ring dog, he has become a much adored and beloved member of our family.

Bio: Hachiko arrived on a special day, he was born on Thanksgiving Day 2008! After cross referencing Hachiko's and Babi's pedigree, I am thrilled to find that the two are distantly related 10 generations ago through CH Maltes'a Royal Minstrel and CH Joanne-Chen's Karyon Dancer.
