In 1974 Finnish people with an interest in Maltese dogs founded their own association - the Maltese Club of Finland. The number of founding members was 84. The club works for the benefit of the Maltese dog with the purpose to maintain this adorable breed healthy, beautiful and viable despite its small number in Finland. The Maltese Club of Finland helps its members in all possible Maltese-related matters like dog training, breeding, grooming, dog show questions etc. The club also has a breeding committee, which helps owners find their dogs suitable mates. Through our puppy guidance many find themselves a Maltese dog brought up by a reliable breeder. The club publishes a magazine named Maltankoira - Bichon Maltais, which appears four times a year.

The Maltese Club of Finland is a member club of the Finnish Toy Dog Association. The Maltese Club of Finland has often hosted its own special show together with the Finnish Toy Dog Association.
