Kathryn is the knowledgable, friendly and a genuinely caring person She let me socialize with my puppy and her mom many times until my puppy was big enough to come home with me. It really made the experience better watching my puppy grow and getting to know her while also learning about the proper ways of caring for a Maltese puppy. If I have any questions I call Kathryn and she always gets back to me right away. My Maltese is the best dog I could ever ask for. Smart, sweet tempered, loving, playful, healthy and beautiful. I highly recommend Bella dolce Maltese if you are interested in a Maltese puppy.
