A Maltipoo is a popular designer dog breed created by crossing a Maltese with a Poodle (usually a Toy or Miniature Poodle). Known for their sweet, affectionate, and playful nature, Maltipoos make excellent companion dogs for families, singles, and seniors. They are small in size—typically 2–7 kg—and well-suited for apartment living.
Maltipoos have a soft, wavy or curly, low-shedding coat, which makes them a good option for people with mild allergies, though they still require regular grooming. They are intelligent and respond well to training, but they can be sensitive and thrive best with gentle methods. Maltipoos are energetic but not overly demanding—daily walks and playtime keep them happy. Overall, the Maltipoo is a loving, friendly, and cheerful breed known for forming strong bonds with their humans.
