How to Determine How Big a Maltese Puppy Will Get. It isn't hard to figure out how big your Maltese puppy will grow. The breed standard for this small white dog limits weight to just 7 pounds at maturity and states that 4 to 6 pounds is preferred. If you don't show your dog, an extra pound or so is acceptable -- but more than that probably indicates obesity and its attendant health risks.
What Is the Life Span of Maltese Dogs? If you decide the Maltese is the dog for you, prepare for a long, happy life together with your new friend. Typically, a healthy Maltese will live between 13 and 15 years, giving you ample time to forge a strong bond with your pup. He has some potential health risks to be aware of, but with proper nutrition and care, your Maltese will have many years with you.
