Maltese

I work with a gal that has a Maltese puppy. His name is Teddy and he sounds like such a cutie. The Maltese would have been our second choice of breed when we were hunting for a dog. They are similar to Zoe our Bichon, but their hair is straighter and often they are a much smaller dog. I want to meet little Teddy sometime. I love puppies. One gal told me that they cost quite a bit more then a bichon also. I don't know about that.
