We are based in Northern California, in the small country town of Herald in Sacramento County. We are a few family members that have pulled our talents and love for small breed, non-shedding dogs, to create a wonderful family owned business. We each have our own roles in this business and our own dogs. Between the 5 of us, we have 22 sires and dams, and over 70 years of dog breeding experience!
Welcome to Alexis Maltese, the home of beautiful, healthy, happy Maltese that conform to the the AKC breed standard.Alexis Maltese is a small hobby kennel located in Sacramento, California. We enjoy exhibiting our dogs in conformation events and occasionally have puppies. We breed to fill our own needs, and only when we believe a given breeding will yield puppies possessing traits we desire.We believe that health, temperament, and body structure are the three areas that cannot be compromised – we will continue to breed toward these ideals above all others.
We are the home of some of America Top Winning Maltese. We are small reputable exhibitors of AKC Champions since 1980 where good health and temperament are of prime importance and guaranteed. Our Maltese are our passion and raised in our home near San Francisco, California. Health and temperament are prime important to the Richelieu Maltese so every litter is carefully planned, all parents, many of whom are AKC Champions of record and have been health tested before being incorporated into the Richelieu Breeding program.
