Breed Information
The Maltese breed has ancient origins, dating back over 2,000 years to the Mediterranean region. The Teacup version emerged in more recent decades due to demand for even smaller, travel-friendly companion dogs with the same charm and elegance.
Teacup Malteses are bred selectively from the smallest Maltese dogs, often using careful pairing to maintain a small frame. While not officially recognized as a separate breed, they are a popular category in the toy and teacup pet market.
Teacup Malteses are loving, lively, and highly people-focused. They crave attention and prefer being in your lap or arms. Though small, they are bold and alert, often acting like watchdogs despite their size. They’re happiest in quiet homes where they are doted on and treated gently.
