Lakeshore Maltese

Lakeshore Maltese, run by Marilyn Lehto, raises maltese in Rindge, New Hampshire, in the southern part of the state roughly an hour's drive from Manchester. Marilyn operates as a small, home-based breeder, personally caring for all dogs and puppies herself rather than delegating to staff or outside kennels.

Every puppy grows up inside the home, handled and socialized from an early age. The program draws from AKC champion lines and maintains an affiliation with AKC New Hampshire. Puppies are paper trained before they leave, and each one goes home with a puppy starter kit and a spay/neuter contract. Marilyn does not ship — she meets every prospective family in person to ensure a good match.

Families looking for maltese puppies in New Hampshire and across New England have found their way to Lakeshore Maltese, with happy owners spread across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, New York, and New Jersey. The program's featured appearance on Animal Planet's Dogs 101 reflects the attention it has drawn beyond the region.
