Royal comes from Snowball and Rhoda’s Maltese litter, with parents weighing 7 and 8 lbs. He is expected to stay small, though adult size can vary, and he can be ACA registered.

For a family wanting a little dog with a big place in the home, Maltese are a wonderful breed to consider. They are known for their affectionate companion background, playful spirit, alertness, and people-focused nature. Their smaller size makes them appealing for many homes, while their breed traits make them easy to picture as part of daily family life.

Royal is played with extensively in the yard with children, including a 2-year-old. That gives him regular handling, attention, and experience around the movement and activity of young children. For a family ready to welcome a small Maltese puppy into everyday routines, Royal could be a wonderful choice.
