Questions & Answers
Maltipoos are a hybrid breed of dog created by crossing a Maltese and a Poodle. Although their size and physical appearance vary depending on which side of the hybrid the pup takes after, most Maltipoos are small with a soft and wavy coat that may be white, black, brown, or a mix of colors. They make excellent family pets because of their tendency to be affectionate, intelligent, loyal, gentle, and friendly. They are usually easy to train and are often eager to please.
A Maltipoo coat is usually curly or wavy and usually soft to the touch. Depending on the individual dog, the coat may range from very dense, with a wooly or shaggy look, to somewhat thin with minimal waves or curls. Most Maltipoos feature a combination of their Maltese and Poodle characteristics—meaning long, silky hair typical of a Maltese, and a wavy or curly texture due to the Poodle's coat.
Maltipoos are a designer breed, resulting from the crossing of Maltese and Poodle. As such, their dietary needs will depend on their genetic make-up. Generally speaking, Maltipoos are small dogs, classified as Toy Breeds, and typically require a higher protein diet. A good quality dry food with a minimum of 20-30% protein is recommended for optimal health and wellbeing, as Maltipoos require a diet that is nutritious and calorie-dense.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Maltipoo is all about preparation. You should research the breed, familiarize yourself with their dietary needs, exercise requirements, and behavior traits. Create a space in your home and get all of the necessary items you need: a bed, food, water and food dishes, toys, leash, collar and more. Additionally, determine what kind of training you will use and begin to get familiar with potty training, socialization, and basic commands. Finally, make sure to give your pup plenty of love, patience and consistency.
Maltipoos generally come in three different sizes: Toy, Teacup, and Miniature. Toy Maltipoos typically weigh between 4 to 8 pounds when adults, and stand 8 to 10 inches tall. Teacup Maltipoos usually weigh up to 5 pounds with a height of less than 8 inches. Miniature Maltipoos weigh between 8-14 pounds, and tend to be 10-14 inches tall. The size of a Maltipoo will depend on the gender, genetics, and size of their parents.
Maltipoos need between 20-30 minutes of exercise per day to stay healthy and content. Exercise should be adjusted according to their age, breed and size. Younger Maltipoos may be able to handle somewhat more activity than older Maltipoos. Regardless of its breed, size, and age, each Maltipoo's daily exercise should always be tailored to fit its needs and abilities. This can include going for walks or playing in the park, with or without other dogs. It's important to keep activities interesting and to ensure that each daily exercise session is appropriate for your Maltipoo.
Maltipoos are known for their loving and playful temperament, making them excellent companions for children. They are highly trainable and enjoy playing, cuddling and running around with their young companions. They are known to be very loyal and can form close bonds with their human family. They have an even temper and enjoy being around people of all ages and generally behave well with children. Providing your Maltipoo with lots of toys and socialization will help them adjust to living comfortably in a home with kids.
Training a Maltipoo begins with understanding the breed. Maltipoos are a hybrid between a Maltese and a Toy Poodle, which means they have characteristics from both parent breeds, including intelligence and a people-pleasing nature. As with any breed, it's important to establish yourself as the leader in the beginning and practice positive reinforcement such as spoken praise and treats for successful completion of tasks. Start slowly with basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. If your pup needs a refresher on individual commands, break themdown into smaller tasks and reward often.
