γιατί σε κάποιες φωτογραφίες τα ονομάζουν maltese terrier? Κάνανε και διασταυρώσεις? και αν ναι - με ποιο terrier?
"Beginning around the mid 1800's and into the early 1900's there was great debate among the noted dog writers and dog authorities concerning the question of "which dog family the Maltese belonged". A large group, especially the dog fanciers of England, felt that the Maltese belonged in the Terrier family due to their terrier-like temperament. As with the English terrier breeds, the Maltese of the period was an excellent ratter and exhibited great fearlessness, despite his small size. Others disagreed and felt that the Maltese, because of his body and coat type, were spaniel in nature. Ultimately, in the early 1900's, it was concluded that the "Maltese dog" was neither terrier or spaniel. Rather, he should correctly be referred to as the "Maltese dog"."
