Questions & Answers
Maltipoos are a hybrid breed of mixed breed between a Maltese and a Toy Poodle. They are intelligent, affectionate and friendly dogs, making them great family pets, suitable for many households. Physical characteristics of a Maltipoo can vary greatly they tend to range in size from small to medium, usually weighing 7-18 pounds. Due to their thick, curly coat they need to be groomed regularly, either with professional help or DIY using the right tools. While some are low-shedding, they should also be brushed regularly to avoid matting.
Maltipoos are considered hypoallergenic, meaning they have non-shedding coats that produce fewer allergens than other breeds. These pooches are hybrids, meaning a mix of two purebreds that share certain characteristics that make them highly desirable for allergy sufferers. They typically have a form of the Poodle’s curly fleece coat which reduces or eliminates the amount of loose fur, resulting in less of an allergy response.
Yes, Maltipoos do have special dietary needs that should be taken into consideration. It is important to feed your pet a balanced diet that includes a variety of healthy food options. As with all dogs, a high-quality diet with fresh, whole ingredients is the best way to ensure your Maltipoo gets the nutrients it needs. Because Maltipoos are smaller than most dogs, they may require a slightly higher level of protein. Additionally, make sure you provide your pet with plenty of clean, fresh water.
Preparing your home for a Maltipoo isn't difficult. The first thing to do is to make sure your home is ‘puppy proof’. Take time to remove any objects that could become hazards for the pup, such as small items, toxic plants, and dangerous cords or wires. Next, start assembling the items you'll need for the puppy's arrival food, treats, toys, a bed, and a crate. Put certain treats, toys and chew toys around the house to help your Maltipoo explore and create a safe and fun atmosphere.
Maltipoos are popular designer dogs that come in a variety of sizes. These designer dogs are a mix between a Maltese and a Poodle, usually a Toy or Miniature Poodle, and their sizes can range from 4 to 15 pounds. While the Maltese typically only weigh up to 7 pounds, crossing it with a Toy or Miniature Poodle can create a larger dog that can weigh up to 15 pounds. That being said, a Maltipoo can still range anywhere from 4 to 15 pounds and they can be anywhere between 10 to 15 inches in height at the shoulder.
Maltipoos are well-known for their level of energy, making them active and fun-loving dogs. They do require regular exercise and mental stimulation in order to be properly hydrated and healthy. This can be done through daily walks and/or playing outdoors, as well as participating in activities like fetch and agility training. In addition, it's important to form a routine for your Maltipoo for meals, exercise, and playtime. By doing this, you'll have an active and welcoming companion who enjoys being around you.
Maltipoos can make excellent family dogs for those seeking a small breed. Often referred to as a designer breed, Maltipoos are a cross between a Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle, with both breeds known for their intelligence, loving companionship and playful yet gentle personalities. Maltipoos usually have low to moderate grooming needs, making them ideal for busy households. They often do not shed, so they can be suitable for those with allergies. Maltipoos also tend to be strong barkers and may require extra training for proper behavior.
Training a Maltipoo is not much different than training any other dog. The key is consistency and patience, as with any new dog. First, find and use effective positive reinforcement methods to reward desired behaviors such as potty training, sitting and staying. Praise your Maltipoo when he is successful and use a distraction to prevent unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, biting, or chewing. Make sure your Maltipoo receives daily walks and ample play time for both physical and mental stimulation.
