Maltese dogs are not only beautiful but are lovable and kind natured dogs. As a member of the toy breed, they are small in stature and dont get much bigger than 6 pounds. Most of their bulk comes in the form of thick white hair. Their coats hang long, flat and silky over the sides of the body and skim the ground.

Taking care of the Maltese coat is the most important part of grooming the breed. Maltese should be brushed and combed a minimum of every other day. Daily brushing, however, is recommended if you want to keep their coat healthy. Use only the recommended dog grooming tools for the job though.

The most outstanding dog brush to make use of is an open-spaced pin brush. Keep away from brushes with balls on the pins. Begin by lifting up the top layer of hair, spray a light coat of water or a leave in conditioner and brush the bottom half of the coat free. Go on with until that layer is tangle-free all the way to the skin and after that work up to the top layer of hair. Constantly take care to brush the dogs underbelly to check matting.

Generally speaking, there are two stages that an Eclectus Parrot goes through when it is growing up, and I would like to look at and comment on those two stages in this article.

The Terrible Twos ” The terrible twos for Eclectus parrots occurs between the ages of three and five months. It is during this time that they are generally naughty ” and into everything. They will essentially test the boundaries set by the breeder, the owner, or their actual parent. It is during this time that the young Eclectus parrot needs to learn who is boss (you).

And it is during this time that you must show him who is the boss. There is no need to turn to punishment of any sort, just make sure that he knows that you are the dominant person in the relationship. Some experts have said that during this period in your parrots developement you should not let him sit on your shoulder as this puts him slightly above you physically, which they say is not a good thing.
