Questions & Answers
Maltipoos are a designer breed of dog that originated in the United States, with a mix of both Maltese and Poodle genetics. They are a small, intelligent and relatively low-shedding breed, typically weighing between 6-20 lbs as adults. Maltipoos make excellent companion dogs that can adapt to both small living spaces as well as larger homes with a nice yard. Maltipoos are typically energetic yet laid-back and require daily exercise, such as walks and games of fetch.
Yes, Maltipoos are generally considered hypoallergenic due to the low-shedding coat of the hybrid breed. This is because the crossbreed has a low-shedding Poodle parent, as well as a low-shedding Maltese parent, which results in a coat that produces very minimal amounts of dander and thus triggers a limited allergic response in many people.
Maltipoos, also known as a Maltese/Poodle hybrid, possess a unique diet that should be tailored to their specific needs. Like all dogs, they should have a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. The best food for a Maltipoo is a combination of high-quality wet and dry food, supplemented with fruits and vegetables. Protein sources such as chicken, beef, and fish are important, as are complex carbohydrates such as rice, oats, and potatoes. Other nutritious ingredients are beneficial as well and can include eggs, cheese, yogurt, and nut butters.
Preparing your home for a new Maltipoo will give them the best start in their new environment. Begin by puppy-proofing your home: hide cords, secure bookshelves and other furniture, remove potentially hazardous items like cleaning supplies, and block access to any areas that may be off-limits. Purchase all necessary supplies in advance, including crates and beds, food and water dishes, grooming supplies, and toys. Also consider set-up for their outdoor area, if applicable.
Maltipoos can range in size from quite tiny to surprisingly large. Depending on the parents of the pup, generally Maltipoos range in size anywhere from 4 to 15 pounds, with adult sizes ranging anywhere from toy to small. Generally speaking, the smaller Maltipoos range between 4 and 10 pounds, while the larger ones can reach up to the 15-pound mark. To the untrained eye, Maltipoos of 6 pounds or less may look similar in size but the difference in weight is noticeable when holding or playing with the pup.
Maltipoos are known to be quite active and energetic dogs, eager for regular exercise and playtime. Because of their small size, it's easy for an owner to be fooled into believing that they don't require much engagement; however, Maltipoo puppies will demand regular physical and mental stimulation as an adult. Find a balance between doing activities that your pup enjoys and challenging them with mentally stimulating exercises and new activities. Try going for regular walks around the block or taking them to the park for an engaging game of fetch or frisbee.
Yes, Maltipoos are a great choice of dog if you have children! These friendly, loyal and intelligent dogs love to be around people, particularly children, and make an ideal family pet. They tend to be affectionate and social pets that are patient and gentle. Even though Maltipoos may not be as large as some other breeds, they are still great when it comes to playing or cuddling. They are also known to be typically tolerant of a bit of rough handling.
Training a Maltipoo requires commitment, patience, and consistency. Begin by teaching basic commands, such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Reward positive behavior with treats and verbal affirmations. Establish a routine and stick to it. Training sessions should take no more than 10 minutes per session and should be repeated several times throughout the day. Initially, keep the sessions short and end each one when the Maltipoo has done something correctly. As the dog demonstrates proper behavior and understands commands, slowly increase the complexity and duration of the sessions.
