Maltese dogs really are small babies, and if you are interested in adopting your own little princess, keep reading to see how big they get.
How Big Do Maltese Dogs Get?
Maltese dogs are known for being tiny, delicate, and easy to carry, which makes them perfect lap companions. Most adult Maltese dogs weigh between 4 and 7 pounds and stand around 7 to 9 inches tall. Maltese mixes, like the puppy in this video, often stay in that same small range, though size can vary depending on the other breed involved. Their small size makes them great for apartment living, but they still have big personalities and love to be included in everything their humans are doing. Despite being tiny, they are playful, social, and full of attitude, which explains why this little princess carries herself like she owns the place.
