Meet Bella
Maltese, 3 years old
Bella
was adopted!
My favourite thing about Bella is...
She’s friendly and will rollover for belly rubs from anyone who pays her attention.
The biggest challenge with Bella is...
As she wasn’t socialised as a puppy and confined to a kitchen, she is still reactive to other dogs but has made great improvements. But she still does get scared of medium/larger dogs and claws at me to be picked up.
The most surprising thing about owning a Maltese is...
They are quite athletic.
What I wish I’d known about Malteses is...
Sensitive stomach.
Did you know?
The Maltese was loved by royalty and it is said that when Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded, her loyal Maltese was hiding under her skirts and was only discovered after the execution.
