I had wanted a Maltese for a long time and after researching several breeders, I came across Bella Dolce Maltese. I spoke to Kathryn, who took the time to talk to me about her dogs. She was very friendly, knowledgeable (it was like talking to an old friend) and she answered all of my questions without making me feel like I was the one being questioned.
After making to trip over to Phoenix, I was happy to see that the Maltese that Kathryn owns are not only beautiful, but also part of her extended family. They are raised right in her home, everything was very clean. You can instatnly see that all the dogs are valued family members. The dogs were extremely sweet and very friendly! Kathryn took the time to explain her dogs backround, her health guarantee, the vaccines given to my puppy and also what I needed to know to have at home for my new baby! She isnt just a breeder, she also shows her dogs and Kathryn has been my friend and mentor throughout this whole process. She has always been open to taking my calls or emails for all of my silly questions and concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable and I can't imagine feeling comfortable acquiring a dog from anyone else.
I would recommend Bella Dolce Maltese to anyone in the market for their next lap dog!
Oh, and did I mention that my puppy was already wee-wee pad trained when I got her?? And she is so smart too! We are so in love with our little girl! We get so many compliments on how beautiful and sweet she is!
