How large does a maltese female need to be to breed?
My husband and I are looking for a maltese puppy and Im curious to know how large a female should be to breed. I know some breeders are breeding very small females to get these so called tea cups. Is a 3lb maltese suitable to have puppies? Would there be any health issues with the litter?
Stay away from anything that the breeders are selling as tea-cup. The average maltese should be 4 to 6 pounds full grown. There may be health issues with it cause idealy a reputable breeder would never advertise a pup as tea-cup many byb have put this term to many breeds when in fact there is no such things as a tea cup anything. Good luck.
