Divine Maltese Awards

What follows is the kennel's record, dog by dog and year by year, as it was kept at the time. Most of it is history now; the dogs below were campaigned between 1998 and 2006, and we have left the years on everything so that nothing reads as more current than it is. What it shows is the one thing a buyer cannot check any other way: that for a long run of years, judges who had never met us kept putting our dogs up against the best Maltese in the country.

105 Maltese champions owned or bred

American Maltese Association Platinum Breeder, 2004

The American Maltese Association gives its Platinum Breeder award
once a kennel has been top breeder or top co-breeder for five years.
After that the kennel is retired from the breeder competition and
listed in the awards catalogue instead, which is where we have been since 2004.
