Maltese

🐕 Maltese Collection – The Ancient White Dog of the Mediterranean

The Maltese is one of the oldest toy breeds in the world, with a documented history spanning at least 2,800 years. Ancient Greek and Roman writers including Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, and Strabo wrote admiringly of small white dogs from the island of Malta, and the breed appears in ancient Greek pottery and Roman mosaics. The Maltese was a prized companion of aristocratic women throughout the ancient Mediterranean world — Roman ladies carried them in their sleeves and bosoms, and the breed was believed to have healing powers, often placed on the chest of the sick. During the Renaissance the Maltese was a favorite of European queens and noblewomen, including Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth I. The breed's most defining feature is its long, silky, pure white coat — which is actually hair rather than fur, making the Maltese one of the most hypoallergenic breeds available. Despite its delicate appearance, the Maltese is a spirited, fearless, and surprisingly bold little dog. Our collection celebrates this ancient breed with original artwork across 1,000+ USA-made home décor and gift products.
