companion for young families
accompany them on walks
ABOUT THE BREED
Maltipoos make the perfect companion for young families, empty nesters, and everyone in between. Highly devoted to their humans, they love to accompany them on walks (and on the couch, of course). Plus, they’re non-shedders and make great apartment dwellers.
The Maltipoo is a winning combination of a Maltese and poodle. Gentle, playful, and highly intelligent, this hybrid inherits every positive quality from each parent breed, making them a smart, active and affectionate crossbreed.
Maltipoo Appearance
Maltipoos won’t grow to be more than 14 inches tall, putting them in the small dog category. They can range anywhere from 5–20 pounds. The soft coat is typically a medium-to-long length that’s wavy or curly. Thanks to their diverse parent breeds, a Maltipoo can be just about any color, but they’re most commonly white and cream. As a designer breed, it can be tough to predict their appearance for certain. They can be bicolor or tricolor, or even have a marbled coat.

Maltipoos are patient, kind companions for everyone young and old. These little pups are loyal companions that enjoy going through life right by your side. Although they are small in stature, Maltipoo have big personalities.
Temperament
The Maltipoo temperament is hard to beat. They are lovers, through and through—gentle, affectionate, fun-loving, and happy. Maltipoos are completely satisfied watching life go by from the lap of their human, and are just as prepared to play fetch as they are to snuggle.
We have a huge respect for each individual parent breed that makes this hybrid so unique. “Each [Maltipoo] has a big personality and a lot of energy that comes from the poodle parent, but they also want to be loved and cuddled by their human, which comes from their Maltese parent,”
Living Needs
The Maltipoo knows they’re a member of the family and should be treated as such. They need to be indoors with their humans, and they may even designate a spot on the couch as their own. As they’re not huge fans of being outdoors, there’s no need for a big backyard to please this pup—they actually thrive in apartments and smaller spaces. That said, they still need daily exercise to burn out their (sometimes high) energy. Maltipoos can also be noisy and will alert their family if they see or hear something out of the ordinary. If they’ll be living close to neighbors, they’ll need consistent training to learn what’s worth a bark and what’s not.
Care
Although they have a low-shedding coat, Maltipoos can be high maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming. Their medium-long wooly coat will require daily brushing to keep clean and healthy. If not brushed enough, they can develop painful matting or sores on their skin. They’ll need a bath once a month and clippings every few, except for the area around their face and eyes, which will need monthly trims. Smaller dog breeds typically spend more time indoors than out, meaning their nails won’t have the chance to file down naturally. Examine and trim your pup’s nails every month to ensure they stay healthy. Expect to brush your Maltipoo’s teeth at least a couple of times a week, as well.
Also Know This
Maltipoos tend to have high energy levels, but they only need a moderate amount of exercise. A short 15 minute walk or a game of fetch indoors will keep them happy and healthy. They are eager to play, so incorporating some fun into training will deliver the best results. “Maltipoos require plenty of time to be potty trained, whether it is using the wee pads indoors or going outside to do their business,”
