Allow us to introduce ourselves: my name is Joanne Conta and my
husband's name is Will. We live in beautiful Chautauqua County, just a
couple miles south of the lake in the town of N. Harmony. Yes, we get tons
of snow in the winter, but our 3 acres look like a picture postcard after a
snowfall. And, our summers are warm and sunny, with an occasional
thunderstorm that is at times quite severe, making them tons of fun to watch.
Below are a couple of photos of our property, showing just how lovely this
county is.
When my brother-in-law bought a Maltese, it was
the first time we had ever heard of that breed. We were introduced to
Benny on Christmas Day 2002. Will & I will never forget that day because we both
just fell in love with this dog. He was unforgettable...how many people
can say that about themselves.
Benny was everything we could have wanted in a dog....beautiful,
playful, sweet, affectionate, curious, not afraid of strangers....in short, a
perfect dog. We decided about a year later to get one ourselves. Of
course, when it came time to choose one, we ended up coming home with 2.
It was the best decision we could have made. Daniel and Hollie have been
great companions for each other and it made adjusting to a new home easier for
them since they had each other.
After a few months, we decided to start breeding our Maltese so
others could experience the joy of owning this incredible dog. We then
decided to get another female and that is how we got Sasha. I feel
incredibly lucky to be the person Sasha is devoted to. And, I am devoted
to her as well. She is a wonderful
Maltese, with all the traits that make this breed so special.
Will and I have 5 grown children, so our dogs are now our kids.
We love everything about them and about the Maltese breed. Although we no
longer breed, it simply means I will now have more time to devote to my dogs,
and to my family.
Please feel free to
email me if you have a question or problem with your Maltese. I will
do my best to help.
