The Maltese

Origins
The Maltese dog has uncertain origins of existence. One of the oldest breed testimonials comes from around 500BC, being a pottery Greek element. The latter Greek writers describe this breed as being small, with origins in a Greek island named Melitaeus, near the Adriatic coast. Later on, the Maltese was brought to Europe during the migration periods and expanded in importance and fame.
