Is a Maltese a good fit for a Delhi home?
Toy dogs suit Delhi's flats and independent floors well, since they need little space and short trips up the stairs or lift. Keep them warm on cold winter mornings and cool through the summer.
A Maltese is an excellent flat dog, because it needs very little space and exercise, but it needs company. Check your society's rules on dogs and lifts in Delhi before you decide.
Maltese and Delhi's weather
Delhi summers regularly cross 40°C, winters bring cold mornings and fog, and the monsoon is humid. Air quality can turn poor in late autumn and winter, so plan indoor play on bad air days and ask your vet when to limit outdoor exercise.
A Maltese copes with Delhi if kept cool indoors, clipped short in summer and walked in the cool hours. Keep the white coat clean in the monsoon, since mud and damp easily cause staining and skin trouble. Give it a warm bed in winter.
A small Maltese heats up and cools down quickly, so plan a cool room and water in summer, and a warm bed and light sweater on cold winter mornings.

Registration and society rules in Delhi
In Delhi, Section 399 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act requires pet dogs to be registered with the municipal corporation, and registration is generally linked to a vaccination certificate. Registration is done through the MCD's online system. Rules, forms and fees can change, so check the MCD's current requirements and your RWA or society's pet policy before the puppy comes home.
Maltese puppy price in Delhi
The price of a Maltese puppy depends on the puppy's size, age, lineage and records, coat quality, health checks and current availability, and it can change from one litter to the next.

You can meet the puppy by appointment before you decide.
Is a Maltese right for you?
A Maltese may suit you if you want a small, gentle lap dog, can brush daily or pay for grooming and can be at home often.
You may want a different breed if you are away for long hours, have very young children, or cannot manage a long white coat.
