Josymir Maltese began in Western Pennsylvania in 1994, when we purchased our first male Maltese, Gucci. He stole our hearts and we became enchanted with the Breed. Since then, we have devoted ourselves exclusively to Maltese.

We breed on a very small scale, preferring to focus on QUALITY instead of quantity. We produce intelligent, healthy, beautiful Maltese puppies that are outgoing, full of life and satisfy the AKC standard.That is not only our promise to our customers but our duty as responsible breeders!

With this goal in mind, we only incorporate dogs in our breeding program who are healthy, have good temperaments and are good representatives of the breed. As a result our puppies’ pedigrees are very impressive, containing many Champions, top Champion producers and Best In Show Maltese.

Our loving puppies make great additions to special homes. All of our puppies are raised in our home and handled from birth. We devote much time to socializing and interacting with our puppies, which prepares them for an easy transition into their future homes. This socializing and handling is of benefit to the puppy whether they are destined to become a future show dog or simply a loving companion. WE ARE SO CONFIDENT IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM THAT WE GUARANTEE THE HEALTH OF OUR PUPPIES IN WRITING!!

Through the years, we have bred and owned several Champions. All our champions are exclusively breeder/owner handled. We also have champions who have made an impact in the show world. Among those is Ch. Josymir’s Shocking News, who achieved #24 in the Maltese Breed Standings for 2004, although she was shown very limitedly. Please visit "Our Maltese" page to see our champions and current show dogs.

We attribute a lot of our success as breeders to those who have taught and supported us along the way, namely, Michelle DiCola of "Marchells Maltese", Christopher Vicari and Manny Comitini of "Chrisman Maltese".
