I have 2 males and one female. These puppies are raised in my mom and only one Dame at a time. They're bread every other year and I own 3 dames. The mom of this litter is retired this year and her last litter. She had two litters in her life time. I have her daughter that is now having her first litter in a couple of months, she will not be bred for 2 years after this one. I have another Dame who is ready next fall for her first. Trying to keep them inline for breeding correctly. My Dames do not have multiple litter 2 and they're retired.
I also provide sire services from my one male. He is not my sire for my litters, I hire out. Because of size I want a smaller dog and his size leans more towards the shih tzu then the Maltese but he's a beautiful boy,smart and very loving.
