Reservation
At T&C Maltese, we understand how important it is to secure your future puppy. To ensure a smooth and organized process, all families must first have an approved puppy application before placing a reservation.
Once puppies are born, a $300 reservation fee is required to reserve your puppy. This fee allows us to thoughtfully plan placements and ensures that your puppy is held specifically for you.
The reservation fee will be applied toward the final purchase price of your puppy.
Please note:
Reservation fees are only accepted after puppies are born
A Reservation Agreement must be signed by both the buyer and breeder at the time of payment
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to placing each puppy in the right home with care and intention. This process allows us to give every family a personalized and thoughtful experience while maintaining the highest standards for our program.
Waitlist
At T&C Maltese, we truly value families who plan ahead and are committed to our program. Your early commitment allows us to thoughtfully plan each pairing while ensuring every puppy has a loving, prepared home waiting.
We are a small, in-home breeder and only produce one to two carefully planned litters per year. Because of this, availability is extremely limited. Joining our waitlist is the best way to secure a puppy from us.
Joining the Waitlist
A $80 waitlist fee is required to reserve your place
This fee is non-refundable and not applied toward the purchase price
To be considered, you must complete our puppy application
Once your application is submitted:
We will review it and contact you for a phone interview
Upon approval, you will receive a copy of our puppy purchase contract to review
(This will be signed on the day of pickup)
Waitlist Details
Families are contacted in the order the waitlist fee is received
Once puppies are born, you will be notified and given the opportunity to move forward
At that time, you may submit your process fee and reservation fee
Response Time:
You will have 6 hours to respond once contacted. If we do not hear back, we will move to the next family on the list.
Rollover Option:
If you choose to wait for a future litter, you may roll over your spot up to 3 times
Choosing Your Puppy
While the waitlist is honored in order, flexibility may affect timing.
For example:
If you are #10 on the list but are open to either gender, you may be matched with a puppy sooner than someone ahead of you who is waiting for a specific sex or size.
Breeder’s Choice
As a dedicated breeder focused on producing exceptional Maltese in both health and beauty, we reserve the right to select a puppy from any litter for our program before offering selections to our waitlist families.
We appreciate your understanding, as this is an essential part of continuing to build and improve the quality of our lines.
Our Promise
Every decision we make is with intention, care, and the future of our puppies in mind. We are committed to placing each puppy in the best possible home and creating lifelong connections with our T&C Maltese families.
