Maltese [species] (English spelling)
A pet dog breed. It is a very beautiful dog, covered entirely in pure white, long, soft, silky fur, and its pitch black nose and dark eyes accentuate the beauty of its pure white. It is named after the island of Malta in the Mediterranean, but there are no historical records or legends about it, and its origins are unknown. However, it was widely known in Europe and the United States around 1800, and is widely welcomed as a pet dog due to its beautiful appearance, gentle nature, and high intelligence. Its weight should be under 3kg, with 1.3kg being the ideal, and it is one of the most popular dog breeds in Japan.
