History of Adura Maltese

After showing Arabian horses for several years, my focus changed to dogs. While shopping one day I came upon a book with a photograph of a beautiful Maltese in full show coat on the cover. I was in-love and hooked. That was in 2000.

Since then I have owned a Multi-Best in Show/Best in Specialty Show dog, a rescue boy who is the love of my life, and many wonderful “kids” in between. After 9 years of study and hands-on experience, I am a very small hobby breeder of happy, healthy, pure-bred Maltese located in North Texas. All my dogs live in my house with me, underfoot (much to the chagrin of my grown sons), and are spoiled as rotten as I can get them.

My goal in breeding is to produce the most correct, healthy and outgoing Maltese I can. The dogs and bitches in my breeding program are health screened, shown to their AKC Championships, and have exceptional pedigrees. They are chosen as parents for future generations based foremost on their structure, temperament and health. Gorgeous white silk coats, jet black pigment and beautiful faces are the icing on the cake!

I would not be privileged to be breeding future generations of adorable Maltese if not for those dedicated and generous breeders who have gone before me. My heartfelt thanks especially to Vicki Abbott of Syclla Maltese, Tonia Holibaugh of Rhapsody Maltese and Szilvia Grof of Marquess Maltese.
