usually about 5-8 lbs, however, some may be smaller if they are a teacup Maltese and others may reach up to 11 lbs (but this is not too common) 6 people found this useful.
Some breeders use these cutesy, made-up phrases as marketing terms for smaller Maltese. That's all they are -- marketing terms. There is only one Maltese breed, and whether an individual weighs 2 pounds or 6 pounds or 10 pounds, he's still just a Maltese. Some are simply smaller or larger than others. The larger individuals are actually sturdier and often make safer pets. In fact, I do NOT recommend a Maltese under 4 pounds. These individuals are great risks in the health department. Their bones are extremely fragile. There is not enough room in their mouth for healthy teeth.
