OFA-verified means we matched a clearance in the OFA public database on a Maltese the breeder bred. A breeder without a match may still health test; we only count results we could check. 3 of these listings have an open red flag; each profile shows the evidence and how to dispute it.

Top Maltese breeders in Arizona
Common Maltese health concerns
Patellar luxation, Dental disease, White dog shaker syndrome, Collapsed trachea. Ask the breeder which of these the parents were screened for, and for results you can check.
Breeder licensing in Arizona
Arizona requires a County kennel permit, issued by the county board of supervisors / county animal control, not by the state if you keep 5 or more breeding dogs (kept in an enclosed controlled area, unless each dog is individually licensed).
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
