LPS Maltese #065 is white with a dark purple nose, two pink hair bows, and bright teal blue eyes. Two indents on either side of the ears are placed to fit sunglasses specific to this mold. This pet has a variant with the Retriever mold, which has the same color scheme.
==Production==
Maltese #065 was first released in 2005, and was a part of four sets. It initially appeared in a Portable Pets set, which included a large wagon, a ball, collar, and rope toy accessory. It was also included in a Kohl's exclusive 12-pet multipack; see Beagle #016 for pet listings. Another multipack with 10 pets had the pet as well. See Monkey #056 for pet listings. Maltese #065's last appearance was in the Kohl's exclusive version of the Get Better Center playset.
It is the first Maltese in the toy line and the first of five pets with this mold.
===Number Variant===
The pet's presence in the Get Better Center was later swapped with a different version of the pet in the second bonus pack; this other version is a white golden retriever, and is often considered an unnumbered pet. However, as both are white dogs with purple noses, the same-styled blue eyes, and shared bonus pets, it is believed to be a Number Variant of #065. It was not uncommon for older pets to have different mold variants under the same number, as is the case with pets like Poodle #017 and Boxer #025.
==Value==
The original retail value of its Portable Pets set was $3.99 in 2005.Internet Archive. LPS Catalog, 28 Nov 2005. https://web.archive.org/web/20051128033535/http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.16874/dn/littlestpetshop/default.cfm
#065 has a higher demand on the market. Its NIB Portable Pets set sells at $40, while the pet on its own averages at $8-$10.
As for its Retriever variant, it was only ever produced in the Get Better Center bonus pack, and is considered somewhat rare. Its rarity paired with the popularity of its mold gives it a higher value on the market, averaging $15-$20.
==Trivia==
*This pet was likely the inspiration for the 2012 show character, Princess Stori Jameson.
