HANSA Maltese~ Incredible~ Looks Like a Real Dog!!

In my Ebay store and my website, I sell realistic life like, many life size stuffed animals.  My leading line of product is titled Hansa. This line of plush toys are remarkable, many are mistaken for real animals!  Each Hansa creation is beautifully hand-crafted and lovingly designed from portraits of real animals.  One piece I am particularly fond of is the Malteste puppy dog.  I searched on the Internet for information regarding the real breed of dog and here is what I have found:

The Maltese is among the gentlest mannered of all small dogs, its trust and responsiveness are appealing. Art objects dating back 3,000 years depict this beautiful little dog, whose breed name may derive from the island of Malta or the Sicilian town of Melita. This breed has gained favor and popularity over the years, thanks to its affectionate and intelligent personality. The Maltese can reach 10 inches high at the shoulder and ideally weighs 4 to 6 pounds. Its silky, pure white coat is long and hangs straight to the ground from a center part running from nose to tail. The coat needs daily brushing to stay tangle-free and frequent bathing to keep sparkling white, even if you choose to give a shorter pet trim. Dark eyes and pigmentation of nose, lips and eyerims enhance the alert expression. A fine pet for limited accommodations, the Maltese's exercise needs are minimal. Although small, this breed makes a fine watchdog, barking to alert its people when strangers approach. Because of the size, a Maltese is best suited to a home with older children who can be trusted to handle one carefully.

I've always been a dog lover of larger dogs, German Shepherd's have always been my favorite, but I couldn't help but find this Hansa Maltese to be one of my favorite.   Take a look and see how real and life like the Hansa plush soft toys are to the real breed!   Of course the photo on the right is the Hansa Maltese puppy dog - Hansa collectible soft toys are truly amazing and we hope you'll stop by our Ebay store to take a look where you'll find many more life like life size stuffed-plush-animals!  http://stores.ebay.com/STUFFED-PLUSH-ANIMALS
