Origins and Characteristics of Maltipoos

Originating in the United States, Maltipoos are a charming mix of Maltese and Poodles. They are known for their friendly, playful personalities and soft, curly coats that shed minimally. Maltipoos are typically small and adaptable, making them ideal companions for apartment living. They come in various colours, including white, cream, apricot, and grey. Maltipoos generally weigh between 5 to 20 pounds and stand about 8 to 14 inches tall.

BEHAVIOUR and Temperament of MALTIPOOS

Maltipoos are known for their affectionate and playful nature. They are social dogs that get along well with children and other pets. Their friendly disposition makes them great companions, and they thrive on human interaction. They adapt well to various living environments and enjoy participating in family activities, ensuring they remain happy and engaged.

Energy and Exercise

These dogs have moderate energy levels and enjoy daily walks and playtime. They are active but not overly demanding, making them suitable for various living situations. Mental stimulation through games and training is also important to keep them happy and healthy.

Shedding and Lifespan of a MALTIPOO

Maltipoos have a low-shedding coat, which requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangling. They typically live between 12 to 15 years, with proper care and regular veterinary check-ups. Their lifespan can be extended with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent monitoring for any health issues. Regular grooming not only keeps their coat in top condition but also allows for early detection of skin problems or parasites. Ensuring they receive adequate mental stimulation and affection contributes significantly to their overall well-being and longevity.
