Maltipoo

Maltipoo

The Maltipoo is a charming and affectionate designer breed developed by crossing a Maltese with a Toy or Miniature Poodle. Originating in the United States, this small companion dog was bred to combine the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the loving and gentle nature of the Maltese. Maltipoos typically have a soft, wavy or curly coat and come in a variety of colors, including cream, white, apricot, and black. They are well known for their friendly temperament, making them ideal family pets, therapy dogs, and companions for individuals of all ages. Highly sociable and eager to please, the Maltipoo thrives on human interaction and adapts well to apartment living. Though not recognized by major kennel clubs, the breed is widely appreciated for its adorable appearance, intelligence, and hypoallergenic qualities, making it one of the most popular designer dogs today.
