Maltese are small dogs in the toy group and are sometimes called Bichon Maltaise. The breed is considered to be an adored pet and highly demanded show dog.
The Maltese descends from one of the most ancient dog breeds to be found in all recorded history. It has been estimated that the breed originated around 6,000 B.C., which is about 8,000 years ago! The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the dog came from Malta, there is no real evidence that actually proves this to be the case. The breed was distributed as an exotic article of trade from Malta, and sent to far reaches of the civilized World, being prized by the upper class aristocrats and Royalty. The dog is mentioned in early writings of Greek and Roman philosophers, as well as poets and historians including Aristotle, and it is recorded that the Roman Emperor Claudius had one himself.
Because of the warm affectionate nature...

I am Scottish and live in England beside The North Sea. I create pictures with a combination of photography and digital art and a lot of my work involves my little Maltese Dogs and sometimes just upload straight photographs. I can create custom images by request, just send me a message .
