Today my dog Cinnamon and I were out wallking and a lady in my apartment building was out with her Micro Mini Maltese Puppy. A Maltese is really a cute dog, with long white hair.

You can see a whole bunch of Maltese pictures here.

This one on the left has the long hair of a true Maltese. Some of the others have their hair cut shorter, like these two here:

Now here (below) is a Micro Mini Maltese. Of course, the micro minis are a lot smaller!

One nice thing about Maltese is that they have hair rather than fur, so they don’t shed. They are also hypoallergenic, that is, they are easier on people who have allergies.

In fact, my dog Cinnamon, has the same kind of non-shedding hair. She is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Of course, I’m biased and think Wheatens are the best, but Maltese are pretty cute too! Especially the Micro Mini Maltese!
