Maltipoo

The breed

The Maltipoo is a small companion dog created by crossing a Maltese with a Poodle. Its appearance varies, but it often has a soft, wavy or curly coat, floppy ears, dark expressive eyes, and a compact build. Coat colors may include white, cream, apricot, gray, black, or mixed shades. Many Maltipoos have a fluffy, teddy-bear-like look.

Maltipoos are generally affectionate, playful, and people-oriented dogs. They are often lively and curious, enjoying attention and interactive games. Their temperament can reflect either parent breed, so some are outgoing and energetic while others are gentler and more relaxed. They commonly form close bonds with their families and are known for their cheerful, friendly presence.
