I'm the breeder behind Old Hickory Maltese located in St. Louis, MO. Our dogs are bred to have top qualities that all families want in their puppies, such as compassion, patience, and love! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
About Jen
We believe family comes first!!! Our two females are litter sisters. One of my 9 children claims each of our dogs as their own. They are the ones that are primarily responsible for the care of the dog. Each dog is pampered by the child and sleeps with and spends the majority of their time with the child throughout each day.
What makes Jen’s program special
We strive to offer the very best for our Mommas and their pups. We started with finding Mommas' whose Dad is an AKC Champion and both parents have a total of 15 Champions in their 4 generation AKC Pedigree. In addition, all are fed top quality food and receive daily Breeding Supplements. Our puppies receive Early Neurological Stimulation and are interacted with several times a day.
