Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
Our daughter fell in love with a Maltese in the local pet store. The puppy was over $4000. We could not afford that price but through a web site like this we were able to get our first Maltese. We named her Holly. Many of our friends was asking us to breed her because they wanted a puppy so we located a Maltese stud and we had our first liter of 2 females about 6 years ago. We kept 1 to stay with us and we continued to breed. We now have 3 females and 1 male.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are a part of our family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Pearl, mom
Maltese
About Pearl
Pearl is our Toy (teacup) Maltese. She is 4 lbs and extremely adorable. She is the smallest pet in the house but thinks she is bigger than all of our pets and the humans as well. She has the ability to jump over 2 feet in the air. It almost looks as though she can fly. She is very caring, as she senses when someone in our home is not well and will cuddle up to them as if her warm fur will make them feel better.

Debra and family were amazing. We were able to visit her house and see our puppy before making a deposit on our little girl. She responded in a timely manner to all our requests and sent pictures and videos of our puppy until she was old enough for us to get her. Our puppy is now 14 weeks old, healthy and a joy to behold. I highly recommend Debra and Holley’s Lovable Maltese Puppies.

Working with Good Dog and our breeder Debra was a wonderful experience from the start all the way through to getting our puppy. Debra communicated with us immediately when we reached out and was available to answer questions we had. Coordinating the drop off was simple as she is very flexible. I highly recommend Debra and her well-cared for puppies. Good Dog is easy to navigate and professional. Thanks again! Kristin and Tom

Ohh my goodness! Where do I start! She was incredibly responsive from start to pickup! Met me halfway! She came completely prepared with everything my baby needed! A carrier, training pads, PLENTY of food for him! And he was bathed, I was extremely impressed. Thank you for everything! Bleu Douglas is doing amazing and he is completely loved here!
