This is the best book I've read on the Maltese breed. The author systematically lays out the basic tenets of dog ownership with practical advice. The training chapters proved particularly useful as they addressed all different types of training techniques for various problems. The author couples the basic idea of loving your dog and companionship with training. This book is a good reference tool especially for puppy owners. Also, this book describes in detail what the dog owner should look for in a breeder, veterinarian, and puppy without bias or agenda.
