Our History

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 Maltese 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 puppies that are outgoing, full of life and satisfy the AKC standard.That is not only our promise to our new families 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 not only many American and International Maltese Champions , Top Ranking Maltese , Group winning Maltese but also Top Champion producers.

Through the years, we have bred, owned and handled several Maltese Champions who have made an impact in the show world. Among those is Group Winning Ch. Josymir's Shocking News , who was in the Maltese Breed Standings for 2004, and Group Winning & Multiple Group Placing Ch. Josymir's Page Turner who ranked #7 Maltese in 2009 and our first Grand Champion in 2011 Group winning and group placing Gr. Ch. Josymir's More Than Just News. 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. Their help, guidance and friendship has helped us become who we are.
