About Ping Pong the Tiny Maltese | |
|
|
Ping Pong and his buddies were rescued because their owner could no longer afford to keep them. Below is what his owner had to say:
People-friendly. Willing to potty outside even in rainy day (light shower). Marked territory indoor sometimes not often --- I was letting him stay in my bathroom because the other two like to bully him, but Ka-Chang will bark if he doesn't see his buddy. Ping Pong barks only when Ka-Chang does, but is quiet and very sweet when alone with people. Well-behaved with grooming and bath --- I hold him like a baby position in the bathtub and just trimmed all around with scissors. Amazingly well-behaved for pedicure, much better than my other dogs. I did their pedicures on the bathroom countertop. They just stood there and let me hold their paws for trimming. It was a breeze. Ping-Pong is a senior, and he's got a bluish cloudy tint in his eyes that I suspect are cataracts. His looks might not be that impressive as the other two, but he's the sweetest of all!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, this ancient dog was described by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus as belonging to the "Melita" breed, an archaic name for Malta. It was developed in Italy with the addition of miniature spaniel and poodle blood. It was thought that these lively little dogs were first brought to England by Crusaders returning home from the Mediterranean. The breed became particularly popular with women, who often carried them in their sleeves and even to their beds. The dog was not only popular with women though. Publius, the Roman governor of Malta, prized his Maltese enough to commission a portrait of "Issa" and even have poetry written about her. Today, the glamorous Maltese is an adored pet and sought-after show dog. The Maltese is spirited, lively and playful. Gentle, loving, trusting and devoted to its master. Highly intelligent. Good at learning tricks if he feels sufficiently rewarded. Bold and quick to sound the alarm in case of suspicious noises. It is a classical companion dog; graceful and lovable. They do well with other animals. Maltese love to play outdoors but have a penchant for jumping in puddles. A bath must follow! These dogs can be snappish with inconsiderate children and may be difficult to housebreak. Sometimes they are picky eaters. Include small biscuits and dry dog food in this breed's regular diet to help the teeth stay strong and healthy. Do not over-pamper or overprotect these little dogs, for some become unstable, and some may become jealous of visitors. They have a life expectancy of 15-18 years.
