Male or Female Maltese
I always thought that I preferred the females until I had a male Maltese. The information below is the norm. Depending upon the personality of the puppies, it may differ.
Topic for Discussion........Male Maltese vs. Female Maltese The answers come from pet owners and breeder/exhibitors. We own the internet list for reputable Maltese breeder/exhibitors all over the world. The pictures are two of our boys that were bought to keep each other company. From: Phyllis Burnette <maltese@bellsouth.net Which sex in the Maltese do you prefer for a pet and why? I guess those of you that have owned a boy and a girl could really answer this. Would love to hear of your experiences with the different sexes.
Males definitely. They are more loving and protective. All the males I've ever had have been sweethearts. My nickel's worth,
From: Michael Spencer <greenhouse1_2000@yahoo.com> Hi Phyllis and Joe,
Easy for me...My boys bonded instantly with me. Jason cries when I sniffle! He can here me clear across the house...even if I am watching TV (Extreme home make-overs usually...) and I get emotional......he comes running to check on me! ON THE OTHER HAND...we have Mollie e~she loves us, of course, but ONLY when it is convenient for HER...more stubborn and independent...she loves everyone that come over, not saying she isn't friendly, but she just isn't clingy like the boys! I think everyone needs one of each! There you have it Joe...THAT would fix everything! Marion
As we grew up, Mother always had male dogs.
This is from someone that got two Ga-Li boys. Puff & Comet! Mary Anne, Carl, Natalie, Rebecca and Emily Puff .
As a companion I prefer the boys. I find that the boys live their life wanting to please you whereas the girls are a little more independent and head strong. I don't find any differences with their toileting until they are older. I find as the girls get older they get lazier and can't be bothered going outside. I have less trouble with my older boys. The only time I have trouble with the boys going to the toilet inside is when I have bitch in season. If I could have babies from boys, I'd have a house full of them. I find them more affectionate and sensitive and eager to please. JMHO, I would back you up Lyn with the boys, I would have the house full of them too. It is just that the boys and girls are different ,I love them all but have preferences. Trudy
I much prefer the boys to show. The boys are sweeter and more eager to please. Both are about the same to potty train.
I personally will take a boy over a girl most days of the weeks. i find them sweeter, easier to train, more loving, and I am the center of their world. With my girls they are the center of their worlds and I am the maid!
I love my boys! And my boys love me!
I like my girls, , although I do have a male cocker spaniel (neutered) that has never marked. Lori
i really love the boys,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Since I haven't had a girl house-dog, I can only speak to my baby boy, Mr. Ga-Li’s Mozart, the Maltese, who is the ultimate companion. He is loveable although he likes to lay against my leg in the recliner and not in my lap. At night, he sleeps against my back until Wayne gets up in the middle of the night to go to work. Mozart then moves over and curls up against Wayne's pillow. When I have been gone for a while he meets me at the door and leads me to his potty pad to show me what he has done since I left. After his treat, if I pick him up, he gives me lots of kisses. When I am gone for an extended period of time, like when I was hospitalized for several weeks, Wayne calls me and puts the phone to Mozart's ear. As I talk to him, he licks the receiver and gets really still. When I came home for the hospital, Wayne had to pick him up for me 'cause he was all but walking on my feet and preventing me from taking a step. We kissed and kissed and then kissed some more. Also, he wasn't hard to potty train. Sandra
For me, there's no contest. Males are so loving and precious. I've had many years of both sexes, and as far as I'm concerned, the boys seem to adore their owners and bond more quickly than girls. I love 'em all, but there's nothing like the love a little boy has for his owner! Carolyn After we discovered it would be nearly impossible to get to little girls from the same litter, we decided one of each. (i have never had a male). These are only my third and fourth puppies. I knew that if it was meant to be I would feel a connection to a puppy and I do and did the minute he came up to me. He is such an outgoing little guy. Our little girl requires a little extra warm-up time. She is unsure of other people and although he likes everyone you can tell he is all ours. When I talk to him, he is so excited and when Michael gets home from work he is thrilled beyond belief. No more difficult in potty training and I think he may be a little easier even. I think a lot of people want girls for the bows and clothes and cute little stuff, but I have found plenty of stuff for our little man and it has not been any less fun to buy cute things for him than for her. He is amazing. Phyllis's interview was more intense (humor). Then she wanted me to think about a mate to go with the little girl and I was like no way! Then my eyes met his! I knew I had to try it. Well, it's been 3 weeks, and we have went through so many phases. All to the good! I was partial to little girls but didn't know how much the boy's are "moma's boy's". He has become t Deanna
I try to rotate my Maltese giving them all a chance to sleep with us. But I always want the boys to cuddle . They cuddle when you want them to cuddle with you. The girls are more independent and will cuddle with you when they want. The boys are almost always more affectionate. I don’t find any difference in potty training. The boys just seem to worship you and stare into your eyes when you are talking to them.! And I hate to let them go. Of course, I love the girls too! Phyllis
