Maltese Puppies for Sale in Delhi
Buy a Maltese puppy in Delhi from The Barking Babies — healthy, home-raised, and vet-checked from birth. We offer pure white, White & Lemon, and White & Tan Maltese puppies with full vaccination records and KCI lineage papers available on request.
The Maltese is one of India’s most loved toy breeds. Their silky white coat, gentle nature, and compact size make them perfect for Delhi apartments and family homes alike. Every puppy we place comes from a clean, caring environment — not a commercial breeding facility.
We raise our Maltese puppies the way they deserve to be raised — inside our home, around people, with love and attention from day one. That early human contact shapes a puppy’s personality for life. It is the difference between a shy, nervous dog and a confident, affectionate companion.
Finding a healthy Maltese puppy for sale in Delhi is not always easy. Many buyers end up with puppies from unknown sources — no health records, no vaccination history, and no support after purchase. At The Barking Babies, every puppy comes with complete documentation, a vet examination certificate, and a team you can call even after your baby goes home.
Whether you are a first-time dog owner or adding a second pet to your family, our team will guide you from the very first call to the day your Maltese puppy settles into your home. We do not just sell puppies — we help you raise them right.
Male and Female Maltese Puppies Available
We have both male and female Maltese puppies for sale in Delhi throughout the year. Both genders make equally loving, affectionate companions — and honestly, the difference in personality is smaller than most people expect.
That said, here is what most Maltese owners notice over time:
- Male Maltese — Tends to be slightly more playful, energetic, and outgoing. Bonds quickly with everyone in the household and loves being the centre of attention.
- Female Maltese — Often a little more independent and selective with affection, but deeply loyal to her favourite person. Many owners describe female Maltese as “elegant” in their temperament.
Both male and female Maltese are gentle, low-aggression dogs that do well in home environments across Delhi and India. Neither gender is better — it comes down entirely to what personality suits your household and lifestyle best.
If you are unsure which gender to choose, call us. Our team has placed hundreds of Maltese puppies across Delhi and can help you decide based on your specific home situation — whether you have children, other pets, seniors, or are living alone.

Health and Vaccination Details
Every Maltese puppy for sale at The Barking Babies goes through a complete, documented health protocol before being placed with a new family. We work with certified veterinarians in Delhi to ensure every baby is healthy, parasite-free, and fully vaccinated before going home.
We know that buying a puppy is a significant decision — and we take the health responsibility seriously. Here is exactly what we do for every single puppy.
Vaccination Schedule
Core vaccines are given at the right age, on the right schedule — never skipped, never rushed.
- 6 weeks — First DHPP combination vaccine (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)
- 9 weeks — Second DHPP booster to strengthen immunity
- 12 weeks — Third DHPP booster + Leptospirosis vaccine added
- 16 weeks — Rabies vaccine administered (mandatory under Indian law)
- Annually — Full booster cycle recommended every 12 months throughout the dog’s life
Every vaccine is recorded with the date, product name, batch number, and administering vet’s signature. You receive this full record at the time of handover.
Deworming Schedule
Internal parasites are one of the most common health issues in young puppies. We follow a strict deworming protocol from the very first weeks of life.
| Age of Puppy | Deworming Action |
|---|---|
| 2 weeks | First deworming dose given |
| 4 weeks | Second dose |
| 6 weeks | Third dose |
| 8 weeks | Fourth dose — puppy is now ready to go home |
| Every 3 months | Ongoing deworming recommended for life |
We recommend continuing three-monthly deworming throughout your Maltese’s adult life, especially in an Indian environment where exposure risk remains year-round.
Vet Examinations
Every puppy receives a comprehensive nose-to-tail physical examination conducted by our partnered veterinarian before being cleared for placement. The examination covers:
- Heart and lung function
- Eyes, ears, and nasal passages
- Teeth alignment and gum health
- Skin, coat condition, and absence of external parasites
- Joint flexibility and gait assessment
- Overall body weight and growth progress
You receive a written vet examination certificate confirming the puppy is healthy and fit at the time of handover.
Health Guarantee
We stand firmly behind every Maltese puppy we sell. If a serious hereditary health condition is diagnosed by a certified veterinarian within the agreed guarantee period, we work directly with you to find a fair and honest resolution. Our responsibility to you and your puppy does not end the moment you walk out our door.
Maltese Temperament
The Maltese is a gentle, affectionate, alert, and playful breed that adapts remarkably well to most Indian living environments — from compact Delhi apartments to larger independent homes. They are companion dogs at heart, meaning they genuinely thrive on human attention and close contact with their family.
Understanding Maltese temperament before you bring one home helps you set the right expectations and build a stronger, happier bond from the very first day.
With Children: Maltese puppies are playful and patient with children, especially when introduced early. Because of their small size, interactions with very young children should be supervised to avoid accidental injury to the pup.
With Other Pets: Maltese dogs are naturally social and non-aggressive toward other animals. They generally get along well with other dogs and cats, especially when introduced during puppyhood. They are not territorial or possessive by nature, which makes multi-pet households in Delhi a comfortable environment for them.
With Seniors: The Maltese is widely considered one of the best dog breeds for senior owners in India. They are calm and content indoors, require only gentle daily walks rather than intense exercise, and provide warm, constant companionship. For retired individuals or elderly people living in Delhi who want a loving pet without the physical demands of a large breed, the Maltese is an ideal match.
With First-Time Owners: If you are buying your first dog ever, the Maltese is one of the most forgiving and rewarding breeds to start with. They are eager to please, respond well to gentle positive reinforcement training, and rarely display aggressive or destructive behaviour. They do not require intense daily exercise — a couple of short walks and indoor play is usually enough to keep them happy.
Maltese Growth Guide
One of the most common questions new Maltese owners ask is: how big will my puppy get? The Maltese is a true toy breed, and their growth curve is predictable and gentle. Knowing the milestones in advance helps you provide the right food portions, vet care, and environment at every stage.
| Age | Weight Range | Key Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 8 weeks | 0.4 – 0.7 kg | Ready to go home |
| 3 months | 0.7 – 1.2 kg | Socialization window open |
| 6 months | 1.2 – 2.0 kg | Permanent teeth coming in |
| 9 months | 1.8 – 2.8 kg | Near adult size |
| 12 months | 2.0 – 3.5 kg | Fully grown adult |
A fully grown adult Maltese typically weighs between 2 and 3.5 kg and stands approximately 20 to 25 cm tall at the shoulder. Their small, light build means they are easy to manage in an apartment, comfortable in a carry bag for travel, and gentle on your home furniture.
Weight can vary slightly depending on the individual puppy’s genetics and lineage. Some Maltese from smaller parent lines may stay closer to 2 kg as adults. Our team will give you a realistic estimate based on the specific puppy you choose.
Feeding tip: Maltese puppies have small stomachs and do best with 3 to 4 small meals per day up to 6 months of age, then transitioning to 2 meals daily as adults. We provide a full diet chart with every puppy.
Is This Breed Right for Your Home?
The Maltese puppy is a great fit for most Delhi homes — but a quick checklist helps you decide with confidence.
The Maltese suits you if:
- You live in an apartment or smaller home
- You want a low-shedding, hypoallergenic-friendly breed
- You can spend quality time with your pet daily
- You are looking for a gentle, affectionate baby — not a guard dog
- You are comfortable with regular grooming (coat needs brushing 3–4 times a week)
Consider another breed if:
- You need a high-energy dog for outdoor activities
- You are away from home for very long hours every day
- You have very small children who may handle the puppy roughly
Still unsure? Call us — our team will help you choose the right breed for your lifestyle, honestly.
