Teacup Maltese Puppies for Sale

Three teacup-sized Maltese puppies are looking for homes: Cody and Callie, a brother and sister, eight weeks old, white, and the two smallest of their litter, and Miki, a female of the same age and size. They are AKC Maltese from health tested parents, raised in our house in the New Orleans area, and they go home at twelve weeks for $600 each. If you have searched for a teacup Maltese for sale and found nothing but marketplace listings and four-figure prices, this page is the alternative.

Cody Male  ·  8 weeks  ·  White  ·  Teacup size  ·  $600 Cody is the thinker of the two. He watches before he moves, walks towards a new sound rather than away from it, and settles on a lap within a minute of being picked up. Small as he is, there is nothing timid in him, which is the temperament the breed standard asks for and the one we select for. Ask about Cody: send a message, ring (856) 394-0451, or email divinemaltaol.gmail.com@gmail.com. Ask about Cody

Callie Female  ·  8 weeks  ·  White  ·  Teacup size  ·  $600 Callie is the busy one: first to every toy, last to give it up, and already convinced that a shoulder is the correct place from which to supervise a room. She is the puppy for a household that wants a small dog with a large opinion. Ask about Callie: send a message, ring (856) 394-0451, or email divinemaltaol.gmail.com@gmail.com. Ask about Callie

Miki Female  ·  8 weeks  ·  White  ·  Teacup size  ·  $600 Miki is eight weeks old, white, and teacup-sized: in her photograph she is sitting in a cup, which gives a fair idea of her size today. Ask Angie what she expects her to weigh grown. It is an estimate, and she will tell you so. Ask about Miki: send a message, ring (856) 394-0451, or email divinemaltaol.gmail.com@gmail.com.

Two more puppies, Mashi and Maru, nine weeks old, are on the available puppies page. They are not listed here because this page is about the three we call teacup-sized.

What teacup means here

There is no teacup breed and no teacup category in the AKC standard, which already asks for a Maltese under seven pounds. When we call Cody and Callie teacup-sized we mean exactly this: they are the smallest puppies of a normal litter, out of normal-sized parents, and they will mature at the small end of the breed. We will tell you what we expect each to weigh grown, as an honest estimate and not a guarantee, because nobody can guarantee an adult weight from a puppy and anyone who does is guessing with your money. What we will not do is what the word usually hides: breed runts to runts, hold a puppy's weight down, or send one home at six weeks so it looks smaller than it is. The teacup Maltese page covers all of that in full.

What the parents were tested for

Both parents passed the four tests this breed needs, and the certificates are shown before any money changes hands:

• Patellar luxation, the slipping kneecap small breeds are prone to, and the thing that matters most in a very small dog
• Cardiac examination by a veterinarian
• Eye examination, the CAER examination by a veterinary ophthalmologist
• Bile acids testing for liver shunt, which shows up most in undersized, poor-doing puppies and which a teacup buyer should ask about before anything else

What each puppy goes home with

Vaccinations to date for its age, worming, a veterinary examination and certificate of health, the shot record, AKC registration on Limited Registration, a written health contract, a week of the food it is eating, and the one thing a small puppy needs most, which is the extra four weeks: pet puppies leave at twelve weeks, not eight, so that a teacup-sized puppy arrives eating well and with the reserves to settle without a sugar crash. The first weeks page is written for small puppies in particular.

Price

$600 each. The size does not change the price; we charge for the puppy, not the word. Travel, if you need it, is quoted for your route and paid by the buyer. There is nothing else to pay. The teacup Maltese price page explains why that is a fraction of what the word usually costs.

Teacup Maltese for sale near you

We are in the New Orleans area of Louisiana. Families within driving distance, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, east Texas, Arkansas and the Florida panhandle, usually collect in person and meet the parents. For every other state a flight nanny carries the puppy in the aircraft cabin, under the seat, and hands it to you at your airport the same day; a puppy this size is the easiest thing in the world to fly that way. Ground transport over two to three days is the third option. We never ship a puppy as cargo. Tell Angie where you are and she will quote the route; the near me page says more about buying from a breeder you cannot visit.

How we place them

Pet puppies go on AKC Limited Registration and a spay or neuter agreement and are not for breeding. Nothing we breed may be resold; if a home does not work out, at any age, the dog comes back to us. The terms are published in full on the puppy contract page so you can read them before you commit. We would rather you asked about every clause now than discovered one at handover.
