Platinum Dunes Maltese Kennel

Breeding with dignity, ethics and responsibility.

I am an ethical, responsible Maltese breeder focused on the breed preservation and improvements therefore, I breed on a limited basis, not more than one-two litters per year. All my litters are carefully planned in advance with my goal to produce next a show potential puppy. I personally research each pedigree and perform genetic testing on the dogs in my breeding program which is of guarantee of healthy and quality puppies. Most dogs of my breeding stock have been evaluated by experts in the show rings, as being confirmation of my breeding in compliance with AKC standards and principals.
