I too have a little maltese puppy with the same affections...  Our puppy is 3 months old, how are you making out?

: I have a 4 month old maltese and she is the opposite of everything I have read about a typical maltese. I need to know if this is typical behavior for a puppy or is she going to be too agressive. She bites, growls, and is very hyper! When i say bite I know that puppies bite but she will at times growl viscously and show her teeth. Any helpful advice would be great. I love her so much but if this is how she is going to continue to behave, I am not sure I can keep her. My older children are even getting to the point where they do not even want to pet her. PLEASE help!! I really want to keep her.
