The Malti Pom is a Cross Breed of Ancient Bloodlines
Feb 02
The Maltese was first depicted in literature back in 500 BC on a small Etruscan Island south of a fledgling republic that would someday become the Empire of Rome. The Pomeranian is a descendent of the German Spitz dog, once thought to be the oldest dog breed on the planet with characteristics seen in many Stone Age fossilized remains of early canines. That has since been disproved by genetic evidence, but the Pomeranian is still considered royalty among toy dog breeders. The combination of the two breeds produced, among others, the Malti Pom puppies for sale we have here at Affordable Pup. You’ll find, if you adopt one, they offer the best of both breeds.
It is widely believed that the Maltese was the preferred dog of the noble women of ancient Malta, though the exact origins of the dog are not known. Some believe the Maltese may have first been bred on the Adriatic Island of Mljet or the former Sicilian town of Melita. These multiple claims on the origins of this dog are evidence of its overwhelming popularity. Over the centuries it has proven to be a loyal companion with a resilient physical makeup and a pleasant demeanor.
Ironically, the Maltese is thought to be descended originally from an ancient line of Spitz dogs that resided around Lake Geneva in Switzerland, making them a distant cousin to the Pomeranian. That could be why they’re so compatible for breeding. The teacup Malti Pom puppies for sale Ohio pet lovers adopt from us seem to have a strength and lust for life that far surpass that of other dogs we come across. If you adopt a Malti Pom, be prepared to spend some time with it. They crave human attention.
Either breed is of course also available as a pure bred here at Affordable Pup. There are also other cross breed varieties available, like the Malti Poo, a cross between a Maltese and Poodle, and the Cava Pom, a Cavalier Spaniel and Pomeranian. These are mixes that seem to work well together, as each new coupling adds strength to the bloodline and possibly opens the door to an entirely new, pure breed some day. Breeders find combinations that work and tend to stick with them.
