Questions & Answers
A Maltipoo (also known as a Maltepoo or Maltese-Poodle mix) is a hybrid breed of dog whose parents are a Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. They are known for being loyal, caring companions with an enthusiastic attitude and an intelligent nature. Maltipoos usually don't shed, making them a great option for people with allergies, and they come in a variety of coat colors, from pure white to apricot and brown.
The Maltipoo coat is known for its soft and luxurious feel. This breed typically has a short-to-medium length coat that varies in color and texture, ranging from wavy to curly. The texture and color can also vary depending on parents’ genetics but is generally a mix between the Maltese and Poodle coat. Many Maltipoos have a light tan, white, or cream-colored fur, which may include some light brown, black, or grey “highlight” areas. This breed also typically has no undercoat, which helps keep shedding to a minimum.
Maltipoos should not be fed too much of anything. Too much of some human foods — including onion, garlic, chocolate, alcohol, and sugary treats like candies, cakes, and biscuits — can be harmful. It is also important to avoid foods high in fat and salt, as well as nuts and seeds. Care should be taken when feeding table scraps, as Maltipoos can easily become overweight if consistently feed these types of snacks. In general, it is best to stick to a balanced diet made up of quality dog food.
When taking on a Maltipoo, there are certain essentials that you should buy before bringing your pup home. These should include items such as a bed, toys, a collar and leash, a crate, puppy food and treats, plus grooming supplies like a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo. You should also invest in an ID tag and microchip in case your pup gets lost or runs away. Additionally, it's a good idea to set up an appointment for your pup to see the vet for an initial checkup and to discuss any vaccinations or preventative care that may be needed.
Maltipoos can range in size from 5 pounds to 20 pounds mature weight, depending on several factors including gender and breed lineage. Maltipoos are a mix of Malteses and Poodles, and typically will be a cross between a toy and miniature size poodle. Generally, Maltipoo males tend to be on the larger side, while females tend to be on the smaller side. Size should be taken into consideration when selecting a puppy since most breeders will try to most accurately estimate the mature size of a puppy.
Maltipoos are known as a very active breed of designer dogs, characterized by their comical nature and alertness. With their high intelligence and energy levels, Maltipoos are perfect for an active lifestyle, such as running outdoors, hikes, or long walks. They make excellent companions for both children and adults and will keep their owners entertained by asking them to run and play. Due to their size, they take up less room and require less physical exercise than larger dogs, however they still need to have plenty of mental stimulation like puzzle toys in order to stay healthy both mentally and physically.
Maltipoos are generally friendly, intelligent, and social small dogs that are ideal for families with children. They are usually quite gentle and patient with children and can be a great addition to any family. Maltipoos are easily trainable, so they can pick up on cues from children and learn what behavior is acceptable. They are generally quite adaptable and can learn to get along with other family pets, too. Maltipoos can make wonderful family companions, as they are gentle and can make a great playmate for kids.
Training a Maltipoo can be a relatively easy experience, depending on the commitment of the owner and the pup's individual personality. Consistency is key when it comes to any pup's training and the Maltipoo is no exception. Time spent introducing commands and rewarding positive behaviors can help ensure that your pup understands your expectations and develops the skills needed to follow them. Regular practice of commands and rewards can also help create a stronger bond between you and your pup. Those that are patient and firm, yet loving, can find success in training their Maltipoo.
