After the passing of my precious maltese, I began researching 5 star breeders. Mollie's Maltese kept popping up on the internet, and I am so glad that it did. Jonathan and Ashley are nothing short of wonderful. From the first email and completing my contract, Jonathan stayed in touch with me for a whole year before I was able to get my little male puppy. They are amazing, very professional and so compassionate. They kept me in the loop as to how my puppy was doing on a weekly basis. He answered all my emails and phone calls and never made me feel as if I was bothering him in any way. The entire process was seamless. They welcomed me into their home twice so I could pick my puppy. I have had my sweet Mowgli home approximately 1-1/2 weeks and he is already sleeping throughout the night. He is potty trained to a pad and has only had a couple accidents. I cannot thank you enough for the love and care you give your puppies.

Healthy puppies are their #1 priority. I highly recommend Mollie's Maltese to anyone interested in a healthy, pure breed AKC registered maltese. Every step was easy, and I felt like a valued customer. Thank you so much for my precious puppy. I could not imagine life without him.

My experience with Mollie's Maltese has been nothing short of wonderful. After having to say goodbye to my 14 year old Maltese a year ago, I really thought I could not go through the pain of losing another ever again. However, after researching and finding Mollie's Maltese, I decided to proceed in October 2023.
The process from start to finish was consistent, reliable and I knew what I was getting. Harper Rae has been with us for 6 days now and is full of energy, life and love. She is so healthy and vigorous - sleeping in her crate through the night. She actually prefers her crate. Jonathan knew that crate training was a goal of mine, so his part in establishing some familiarity has made the process seamless.
Thank you to Mollie's Maltese for this happy experience.

If you are looking for a wonderful Maltese puppy you can stop looking anywhere else now that your are reading about Mollie's Maltese. Jonathan, Ashley and their children are absolutely the most kind, caring and welcoming people you will ever meet. Their personalities are reflected in their Maltese puppies/adults. Having owned many purebred animals in the past, they are the absolute most welcoming breeders we have come across. They have kept in touch with us after we brought our precious baby home and are genuinely interested in her well being. We have friends for life now and will never hesitate to own another one of their Maltese babies.

I’ve waited a little while to post this because I wanted to make sure I was able to provide my feedback for the entire process. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and always multiple at a time. I’ve gotten dogs from breeders and shelters. While I’ve loved them all, the ones from shelters and most breeders all came with their own behavioral issues (anxiety, way too long to potty train, etc). I’ve realized over the years how important it was for our family to make sure we properly vetted the next breeder to ensure we didn’t run into these types issues with future dogs. This year when our 14 year old dog passed away. I knew I wanted another Maltese. I researched every breeder in NC, SC, and lower Virginia. Some were eliminated due to year plus waitlists, while many were eliminated due to not meeting the strict criteria we expected from our next breeder. Jonathan’s response time was absolutely incredible from our very first interaction all the way past us bringing Lily home. He provided us with the genetic testing for both the mother and father. He wasn’t afraid to show us his entire set up, and talk us through his daily process. I was shocked how many breeders failed to offer either of these to us, but it made it easy to eliminate them. Jonathan is also one of the most honest people I’ve ever met. Once we put the deposit down, he provided us with weekly updates and the cutest puppy pictures I’ve ever seen. I’ve never received this level of service from a breeder. He truly cares about each of their puppies. He still keeps in touch with us to see how she’s doing. Now on to Lily, once we got her it was very obvious how much love and attention she was provided in their care. She’s a wonderful mix of cuddly and playful. She has none of the behavioral issues I’ve experienced with most of my past dogs. She was the easiest small dog I’ve ever potty trained. She’s healthy and happy. Our family feels so blessed to have her in our pack. When the time comes for us to add another dog, we won’t look anywhere else except Mollie’s Maltese. If I could give 10 stars I would.

We decided to get a puppy girl from Mollie’s Maltese after almost a year of observing their social media. We wanted to be sure they are honest breeders.
What turned out to be exceeded our expectations! From email communication to our first video chat and up to this day we are in awe of what a wonderful people they are and how much love they are pouring into their work.
Coconut is so amazing there are just no words to describe it! Her joyous personality brightens our every moment and she’s a perfect addition to our family. I’ve never had a puppy like that! She’s behaving so good, has great manners, aside from a little bark here and there but that’s okay 😅, she’s incredibly brave during all of our traveling (including flight to Europe and road trip from NC to California!) and she’s enjoying every adventure! I believe most of her wonderful behavior is thanks to the breeders and the amazing job they are doing socializing the puppies! That’s the work that can’t be replaced by anything you’ll do with the puppy when it’ll be already at home with you.
We all want to thank you once again for the amazing job you’re doing! You are wonderful breeders, and you there’s no doubt how much heart you’re putting into those puppies! Thank you 💛

Ralph, Corinne, Ziggy, & Zumi

Loving Ziggy while waiting… While waiting for a reserved female puppy late this summer, Jonathan and Ashley “fostered” a 2 years old male Maltese and put him out to the world for a new forever home. Beautiful Wilma had a rare 4 male litter…and we put our heads around adopting the 2 year old plus one of the male pups. Solution! Wonderful decision for Ziggy (2 year old) and Zumi (now 10 weeks old). Ziggy is a happy Maltese, and Zumi has a full time brother now training him to be a good happy dog! Both are super dogs in all ways. And wonderful decision for us, having had 2 females (Maltese) simultaneously over 24 years. Jonathan and Ashley are breeders of top quality Maltese (genetics) and take great efforts in being transparent with their breeding, communications, honesty, availability, business, and availability before deposit, after deposit, during ‘the new born maturing’ wait period, and excellent personal touches + guidance at puppy pick-up. Great weekly pictures/weight gain of Zumi through his early growth. And this wonderful family gave love and daily care, calling him ‘Zumi’ at every opportunity plus human touch. We highly recommend this breeder. 5-star in every way.

Alana & Boni

After contacting several Maltese breeders, I was fortunate enough to find Mollie's, and if I were to get another addition to the family, I would want to go through them. They are outstanding. They are there for you always, answering questions, scheduling video calls, and emailing you with answers to your questions as much as needed. I give them ten stars, and we couldn't be happier with our new baby. Mollie's Maltese love and care for their dogs, and it shows.
~Alana J.

Glenn, Noah, Winter, & Family

Mollie’s Maltese were wonderful to work with during the process of waiting on our precious addition to our family. They updated us weekly on how the puppies were doing and did video calls so we could virtually meet and get to know our little pup. The temperament of puppy is incredible, she fit right in with our family right away and it is easy to see that she had a lot of interaction with her birth family. She loves people. Thank you for your commitment to breed happy and healthy puppies.

Beth, Freddie, & Family

After losing our elderly Maltese a couple of years ago our family decided that it was time to find a new puppy. We were blessed to find Mollie’s Maltese. From the moment we connected with these kind people we knew that we’d found our breeder and were ready to get on their list for a puppy. Throughout the process of waiting Jonathan and Ashley communicated often, answered questions and shared pictures and videos when the litter was born. Our puppy is beautiful, socialized and an absolute delight. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and are so pleased with our new addition! I highly recommend contacting these nice folks if you are ready for a new best friend!

Kommineni Family & Kash

[Jonathan] is very friendly breeder that we ever think of and so patient to answer all our enquires and updating about Kash weekly with cute pictures. Also taking time to provide details about the wet appointments/lab works/vaccines regularly. We recommend Mollies Maltese 100% and glad that we were able to find this site online. As it was a surprise birthday gift for my daughter we requested John to keep the puppy for 2 weeks extra and took care of him.
Kash is an amazing puppy, we love him so much! The moment we met him, we were surprised by how calm and well-behaved he was on the first day. He was full of energy and eager to explore the house! Not only is Kash cute, but he is also incredibly smart. He listens closely to commands and already knows how to sit and play fetch! His intelligence was clear in how he already knew his name when he first came in. Thank you for pre-training and making our life easy for the first time pup owner.
Overall, spending time with Kash is pure joy. Thank you Hale family, you guys are the best and we recommend Mollies Maltese to our friends and families.

Love, Kommineni Family ❤️

Melita & Luna

Jonathan and Ashley are the best! They're caring, attentive, and have the best dogs. I absolutely adore Luna. She's beautiful and healthy.

Pankaj & Grogu

We are extremely satisfied and pleased with Mollie's Maltese and Jonathan's above and beyond service. He and Ashley were just wonderful and I had to leave out of town and they were gracious enough to provide boarding for Grogu while I came back. They kept us updated with weekly photos and videos. Their daughter is beautiful and she used to play and take care of our puppy while we were awaiting adoption. Again we would not have gone with any other Breeder for our puppy.
~Pankaj K.

Vish, Coco, & Family

These people are one of the genuine breeders. They offered video call and took time to explain about everything. I’m very happy that I found them. I’m really thankful to them. I came through so many scammers who pretend to be breeders and ask deposit even before looking at puppy. These people let me have video call and then after decision, all the process went through legit website. If you are searching for true breeders, you can count on them.

Edward, Reba, Sadie, & Family

Mollie’s Maltese is a top notch breeder with quality personal service and excellent pups. We would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a puppy. Jonathan and Ashley treated us like family and thank them for our Sadie!!
~Edward E.

Brandon, Hannah, Winnie, & Family

I can’t think of anything that would make our experience better finding our newest family member! They were amazing to work and communicate with! They updated us every step of the way and you can tell they really care of the health and safety of all of their pups! I am so happy I found them and would highly recommend.

David, Elizabeth, & Gucci

I lost my 14 yr old Teacup Pomeranian a few months ago so I was looking for another small dog. I spoke with several other “Breeders” and decided they were not for me. They were “3rd party” breeders that did not even have the puppy I was interested in on site. I asked about genetic testing on parents and was told that it was not necessary…….I know that is NOT correct. Genetic testing is very important to rule out a vast amount of issues. I went to Mollie’s Maltese FaceBook page and saw the cutest little boy ever. I sent a message and within minutes I got a phone call from Jonathan. Jonathan and I had a 45 minute conversation in which I learned a great deal about him and his family. I wanted him to also know about our home and us. After that phone call I made the deposit needed and with my slow internet in the mountains I had a difficult time getting the paperwork completed….Jonathan understood and helped send it a different way so I could completely reserve my baby. I received numerous updates, photos, and videos on Marv, now known as Gucci. Pickup procedure was well thought out and went smoothly…..After all is said and done, Gucci is perfect! He knows his name, comes when called, is at least 75% potty trained and so healthy. Please keep in mind that he knew this when I picked him up! Mollie, Ashley and Jonathan have socialized him so he is perfect! When I spoke to Jonathan I told him that I carry my puppy like a baby…..So….Mollie started training Gucci to allow this. Wow! My husband and I would highly recommend this breeder/family for anyone.

Debbie, Juno, & Family

Mollie's Maltese was great to work with. This was my first experience getting a dog from a breeder so there were lots of questions; Jonathan was informative and kind from start to finish. Our pup has been so sweet, and it is clear she was well cared for, handled and socialized, and had spent time with kids and humans, which was important to me, and has made the adjustment to our home more smooth (though we are still in the puppy stage so it is filled with wonderful chaos). We're enjoying getting to know our puppy and am thankful that she got her start in such a great home and environment.

Jane & C.J.

Highly recommend Mollie’s Maltese! Absolutely awesome experience! Jonathan and Ashley truly love doing this! And it is exemplified by how well they take care of these precious fur babies and communicate with potential owners. I just received my precious CJ and already reached out for another little one! They walk you through the entire process and answer any questions or concerns immediately.

I wish there was more stars to rate our experience at Mollies Maltese. They deserve 10 stars! Tucker is perfect and the purchase and delivery was very simple. Jonathan went above and beyond to make us happy!
~Stephen J.

Anita, Dominic, & Buddy

I was very skeptical about purchasing a puppy from a breeder because everyone I know spoke badly about it. However, it was just my luck, when I took a peek online, Mollie’s had a pup available and ready to go. When I contacted them, Jonathan worked diligently with me to understand the process, he explained the dog’s lineage, health records and more. We’ve had our pup for nearing three months and he’s doing very well, due to his initial care at birth. Buddy (my pup) keeps me on my toes and is such a joy to be part of our family. Even though Buddy’s been with me for a few months, Jonathan is still available for guidance, when needed, and checks on Buddy often. I fully recommend Mollie’s as a breeder of quality well raised dogs!!

Austin, Kristen, & Stanley

Our overall experience with Mollie's Maltese has been fantastic.
*Great communication; quick response to all questions.
*They sent weekly pictures of Stanley, so we could watch him grow
*They provided us with genetic information on the parents as well as Stanley's first vet appointment and vaccines.
*Stanley is such a well adjusted little puppy. He's confident, playful, not startled easily.
*He's healthy and has a good appetite
Johnathan and Ashley gave us his AKC paperwork, along with all Stanley's pictures, birth certificate, information on potty training, etc..
We were able to meet both of Stanley's parents, which was very important to us. We wanted to make sure the parents were also loved and cared for. There are so many people out there that breed dogs only to make the money and don't care about the animals. That is what we wanted to avoid when we were looking for a breeder.
Jonathan and Ashley obviously take pride in both breeding and caring for their dogs.
We highly recommend Mollie's Maltese if you are considering adopting a Maltese.

Alisa & Molly

I had a Maltese many years ago, and was missing the lovable companionship that Maltese bring to any family. I searched many breeders online, only to find that if I was able to actually speak to someone live, it was typically a representative from a call center. I stumbled across Mollie’s Maltese on Facebook, sent a message, and Jonathan got back to me right away. Luckily a litter of 3 had been born a few days prior and there was one little girl still left. And I do say lucky, as most Maltese go very quick! For 8 weeks, Jonathan and Ashley communicated with me weekly, both by email and FaceTime, and even more if I ever had additional questions. I cannot say ENOUGH about how well they socialized my little Molly, and what good care they take of all there pups. This never felt like a transactional relationship, but rather an integration into the family. I picked up Molly at 8.5 weeks and she was stunning, even more than I could imagine from some of the pics and videos they sent. We’ve spent the past 2.5 weeks getting acclimated, and Jonathan and Ashley still check in regularly to see how well Molly is doing, which she is. It’s only been 2.5 weeks, but I can’t even remember life before her. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Mollie’s Maltese for anyone in search of a healthy, well-socialized purebred Maltese with a personalized touch to ensure a proper transition!

Maura, Holly Berry, & Family

Jonathan and Ashley see nothing but stellar when it comes to breeding. From communications to questions and concerns they will be with you every step of the way. I received phone calls, videos, text messages and returned text promptly. I couldn’t ask for any better customer service from the time we put our deposit down until we picked up our new Maltese puppy. I’ve never experienced more thoroughness in health, updates, and assurance that we were satisfied. These breeders truly care about the business and puppies they offer. The health, safety and confirmations they promise - they standby. If you want a healthy, happy and whole Maltese puppy, [Mollie’s] Maltese is the perfect breeder.
~Maura D.

We got our puppy Bella in June 2024 and she is precious. She has a loving personality and the cutest face. You can tell she received plenty of love during her first 12 weeks.

We found Mollie's Maltese by an online search and could not be more pleased. There was excellent communication and puppy updates with pictures. [Jonathan] is very responsive and flexible.

We would absolutely recommend Mollie's Maltese!
