The Best Way to Approach a Breeder

If you’re interested in purchasing a puppy from a reputable breeder, the first step is simple: introduce yourself and ask about their process for placing puppies in homes.

The endless messages that simply say “How much?” are becoming overwhelming. No greeting, no introduction, no question mark, and no effort to look at the breeder’s profile or website to learn about their dogs, program, or practices.

Breeders receive countless inquiries from people who appear to be casually shopping around without any real intention of moving forward. Over time, many breeders become less likely to respond to these types of messages because they simply don’t have the time to answer every low-effort inquiry.

And when someone doesn’t receive a response, they may turn around and criticize the breeder, saying, “I couldn’t even get a response from them!”

Here’s the thing: first impressions matter. Breeders are investing their time, knowledge, money, and heart into producing healthy, well-bred puppies. They care deeply about where their puppies end up and want to find the right homes for them.

Take a few minutes to introduce yourself, express genuine interest, and ask thoughtful questions. Read the information the breeder has already provided, and approach the conversation with courtesy and respect.

Think of it more like a job interview than ordering a Big Mac at a drive-through. You’re not just purchasing a product; you’re building a relationship with someone who has devoted themselves to their dogs and their future.

A little courtesy goes a long way. You may be surprised at how much more receptive a breeder is when you approach them with genuine interest and good manners.

Benefits of Pumpkin
Plain, canned pumpkin is the quickest cure all for loose stool, diarrhea or constipation in dogs. Sometimes when we change our Maltese food too quickly or they get into some human food, it causes intestinal distress and/or diarrhea. By incorporating some plain canned pumpkin with their kibble, your dogs problem should remedy itself overnight!

You can give your Maltese puppy a spoonful of canned pumpkin every day if you choose! The added fiber is not harmful and can benefit their digestion.

Maltese dogs have a higher genetic susceptibility to adverse vaccine reactions compared to larger breeds. They are prone to mild symptoms like lethargy and pain, as well as severe, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylactic shock, facial swelling, vomiting, and breathing difficulties.
Key Sensitivity RisksSmall Body Size: Toy breeds are more vulnerable to reactions because of their small body weight, meaning the immune load delivered by vaccines is proportionally higher.
Autoimmune Vulnerability: Over-vaccinating this breed can put undue stress on the immune system.
Triggered Allergies: Some vaccines have been linked to an increase in IgE production, which can flare up existing food or skin allergies in susceptible Maltese.
How to Manage and Reduce RiskTo protect your Maltese, veterinarians recommend these safety measures:
Space Out Vaccines: Never administer multiple vaccinations at the same time. Separate core vaccines and give the Rabies vaccine at least two weeks apart from other shots.Avoid Non-Essential Vaccines: Skip unnecessary or "non-core" vaccines (like Leptospirosis) unless your dog's lifestyle and environment put them at severe risk.
Use Titers: Ask your veterinarian about using titer testing—a blood test that measures antibody levels—before automatically boosting shots to prevent over-vaccination.
Pre-Medication: If your dog must be vaccinated, many veterinarians suggest administering a preventative antihistamine or corticosteroid beforehand to block severe allergic reactions.
Monitor Closely: Keep your dog at the clinic or closely observe them for 24 to 48 hours post-injection for any signs of swelling, hives, or vomiting.

Dogs in third-world countries are often skinny, but they rarely have psychological problems.
They are social. They are balanced. They understand freedom and boundaries.
Dogs in modern cities are chunky and need a television show to fix them.
Why? Because we remove their instinct and replace it with a human story.
Stop treating your dog like a project or a baby.
Let them connect to their natural way of doing things.
