Shari’s experience

  • About Shari

    I have been showing and breeding Maltese since 1992. I have had over 20 AKC champions. I was a member of the American Maltese Association from 1992 to 2009 when I decided to take a break. I am in the process of re-applying to become a member again. I just bought a new male show dog that I will be showing this summer. I have pet puppies that people love and have returned to buy another one from me.

More about Shari

  • Why Shari started breeding

    I bought a Maltese after doing research on line at AKC to learn more about the breed. I went to buy the puppy and thought I had bought a great puppy. I was doing research on the internet for more information on Maltese and ran across the American Maltese website and found lots of information and learned about Dog Shows, saw a phone number for Annette Felblum, and I called her.
