Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Maltese Madness by Shannon Smith located in Walnut Ridge, AR. I offer quality, healthy, and well-socialized puppies. My puppies are raised in my home with daily hands-on interaction. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
