Maltipoo, Maltapoo or Maltepoo....no matter how you spell it, you get an adorable, beautiful, and most faithful companion. A Maltipoo is a cross between a Poodle and a Maltese. The mom can be either, as long as the dad is the opposite breed. While looking for your special friend, you might see "1st generation" and "2nd generation" Maltipoos. A first generation, or F1, Maltipoo has parents which are each purebred Poodle and purebred Maltese. Second generation, or F2, Maltipoos have a Maltipoo mom and a Maltipoo dad. Personally, we like the 1st generation cross Maltipoos. We believe they are a healthier generation. We only breed and raise from purebred and registered Poodles and Maltese which make our babies 1st generation Maltipoos.
Maltipoos are hypo-allergenic for most people. Please research to find other facts about human allergies to pets before choosing any companion. The Maltipoo hair is wavy, depending on the length you choose to keep your dog's hair. If you choose to keep a longer hairstyle for your Maltipoo, brushing often is a must! They will get mats (tangles) if not properly groomed. I would suggest brushing every day. My first dog baby was a Maltipoo and I kept her hair fairly short. I brushed her about once per week.
The Maltipoo is a loving, playful, intelligent, compassionate and life long companion. Maltipoos do better with older and considerate children. Some of our Maltipoos are considered small and can be hurt if not handled carefully. They are pretty tough but any pet can be hurt by a child who doesn't intend to hurt them just by mishandling them. Talk with your children and teach them the proper way to hold and love their "dog babies"!
We believe that these dog babies are deserving of only the best homes – where a dog isn’t just a dog, but a family member. If you are looking to bring home a new dog baby and make it your new family member, give us a call!
