These people sold us what was supposedly a "toy maltese", that would grow to 5-6 lbs. Our dog is 9.5 lbs, and is obviously not a toy maltese. It's impossible to tell until now. They have shut down their website, however there is now a "littlebellatoymaltese" website in the same area, with dogs at the same price point. BEWARE!! The woman from Castro Valley on this site had a similar complaint. we love our dog, but we were ripped off.
