What You Need To Know About A Maltipoo

So, What Exactly Is A Maltipoo? 

The Maltipoo is a crossbreed of a Maltese Dog and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. The Maltipoo - fun, mischievous and always ready to put a smile on the face of a human, has a lot to offer in terms of companionship. 

In this post, we're going to share everything you need to know about this perky, pint-sized hybrid.

Let's hear about a couple of the best-known character characteristics associated with this Maltese Poodle mix before we take a ride down doggie lane. 

To get hints on how the puppy will turn out when it comes to appearance and temperament, you can take a look at the parents of the puppy. But, it remains true that you don't know what you're going to end up with when you mix two different dog breeds.

The Top Three Advantages Of The Maltipoo 

1. These small dogs tend to be smart little dogs, so they are easy to train and quick to learn. 

2. They were bred to be hypoallergenic, but do note that NO dog breed is 100% hypoallergenic. All dogs shed skin cells and dander.

3. Maltipoos, with gentle and compassionate dispositions, are sweethearts. 

How Do Maltipoo Dogs Look Like?

The appearance of a cross-breed dog is never completely predictable. Your puppy may look like a poodle, or a Maltese, or a combination of both. But one thing was certain, they boast a fluffy coat that feels like wool and can be medium to long with a wavy texture. The Maltipoo generally has hypoallergenic, low-shedding fur.

A Maltipoo’s Diet 

Small-dog breeds tend to have a fast metabolism, so that is something to bear in mind when you are setting up your Maltipoo for a successful diet. Consider adding roughly 30 to 40 more calories per pound of body weight as compared to a larger dog and strive to feed them high-quality, protein-rich dog food free of grain and fillers, only. 

Maltipoos Require Tons Of Workouts

A bundle of energy, the Maltipoo is always ready to play! To help keep this crossbreed active, stock up on toys and a leash. Aim for a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes of exercise every day. This could entail a short stroll through the neighbourhood or a chew toy tug-of-war.

Brush Your Maltipoo Everyday 

To prevent unsightly knots from forming, brush the whole coat regularly, baths should be given at least once a month for optimum softness. Don't forget the shaggy ears of Maltipoo! They trap dirt quickly and need to be properly washed.

The Maltipoo Is The Absolute Sweetie Pie

What's better than a dog that was bred for companionship? The Maltipoo is the complete package if you're searching for a cuddle mate that always wants to please you. 

Actively engaged, fun and caring, this crossbreed adapts to every kind of living environment. Pleasant and sweet, Maltipoos is the ideal choice for first-time dog owners. They also get along well with infants and other pets in the family. 

Due to their easy-going nature, they are particularly well suited for older adults who might live alone and need a little friend who is easy to take care of.

Behaviour-wise, this is a clever dog who learns quickly and is easy to train.

Life Expectancy

A Maltipoo’s average lifespan is usually from 10-13 years.
