Although the Maltese Bichon is a cute dog, there are some cases that can surprise us due to the aggressiveness or tendency to bite that these dogs have, although the truth is that there are very few cases and they occur in exceptional circumstances.
It has been shown that this aggression due to genetic causes is only between 20% or 40% of the cases, the rest is due to a bad education of the dog from when it is a puppy until it reaches a more adult age.
Tips for a correct maltese dog education
Here we leave some “Tips” that everyone should know for a correct education of both the Bichon Maltese and other dogs:
- 1 – You have to teach the little ones in the house that fast and surprising movements do not like dogs, just like blows with blunt objects.
- 2- Do not treat the dog as another toy, dressing it up or painting it in different colors.
- 3- Continuously promote the game with him within a space and time always marked by us and not by him.
- 4- Respecting the dog’s sleep is very important and giving him his place, not letting him sleep in beds but on the side that corresponds to him or that the owner gives him.
- 5- The puppy must respect his turn at mealtime, always after the family he lives with does.
- 6- When we leave the house and the puppy stays, we should not say goodbye to him.
- 7- Very important it is always necessary to treat it with a lot of pampering and affection so that it grows up in a suitable environment.

The best dog at the Fimascota dog shows was a Maltese bichon presented by the Italian breeder Franco Prosperi, whose name is Cinecitta’ian Somerhalder, born in 2013. The Maltese bichon is one of the breeds of companion dogs.
Second place went to a rough collie, Blue Jasmine de Jorbat Y’Anna, from the Portuguese breeders Batista, Molto and Saurin, while third place went to a Spanish water dog, CH Rayaragu Billabong, from the Cantabrian breeder Óscar Garcia.
A mastiff, CH Ron de Amdece de Nava, owned by Pablo de Celis Fernández from León, was designated as the best specimen of Spanish breeds. And the best puppy of all those presented was a pug named Los ñatos del norte P.S. I love you, bred by José Luis and Mercedes Santiago Pier.
During the weekend Fimascota has registered a huge influx of visitors, whose final figure is around 30,000 people, who have been able to learn about the diversity of canine and feline breeds, exotic species, dwarf rabbits that exist, such as labor of animal protection carried out by the different associations that have participated in the fair.

The national artistic poultry competition had the participation of sixteen breeders from León, Asturias, Valladolid, Segovia, Toledo, Cáceres, Salamanca, Palencia, Burgos, etc. who presented different breeds of chickens, pigeons and pheasants in Fimascota. The largest groups corresponded to black Castilian hens -one of the native breeds- and colored homing pigeons.
The best specimens in the exhibition were a shamo hen, a dwarf English fighting hen and in pigeons, a reduced shield messenger, from breeders in Valladolid and Segovia.
Shamo is a Japanese breed of imprecise origin characterized by a tail of large guide feathers, subtly drooping. They are birds of great size and stature, with the entire position of the body raised, long and muscular neck. The dwarf English fighter is identifiable by its upright carriage, broad shoulders, long neck and hocks, and nearly horizontal tail; the feathers are straight, short and hard.
The definition of a shield pigeon refers to completely soft specimens that only have color on the shield and the wing, with the primary shirts (9 or 10 first feathers) white.
Once again, the Maltese bichons demonstrate their quality and good work as a companion dog, not only because of their beauty in the whiteness of their hair, we all know that they are the most suitable for the elderly and children.
