Has anyone seen or heard of this breed of Maltise?
It is literally small enough to fitin a pocket.These little sweeties are the cutest things you could ever see, and I want one!!!LOL
My questions are
a.Are they trouble to maintain [any special care needed?]
b.What are their life spans?
c.Are they timid things that pee on everything??? [when scared]
I saw one and have been bugging my fiance to get me one for a wedding present,and he wants the facts first!!!lol...I tried looking, but can't seem to find info on the pocket breed,only the teacup...or are they the same thing??? Please if anyone has any info could you pass it on to me? Thank you :)

any dogs bred to an artificially small size will have health problems.
if you look at a normal Yorkshire Terrier, it should be stocky, about the size of a Border Terrier or a small West Highland White. it should be bold, active and well....terriery. terriers are small, tough, hunting dogs.
the Yorkshire terriers that have been bred to be smaller and smaller are timid, unhealthy little things. they have come about by breeding together the RUNTS of the litters. dogs that should never have been bred from. rather than picking out the strongest healthiest examples of the breed, they breed the poor examples, with health troubles.
what's wrong with a normal sized Maltese? they're still a tiny dog. just not a freakishly small one.
