A Maltipoo is a charming and popular designer dog breed created by crossing a Maltese with a Poodle, typically a Toy or Miniature Poodle. These small, affectionate dogs are known for their friendly and playful demeanor, making them excellent companions for families, singles, and seniors. Maltipoos usually weigh between 5 to 20 pounds, depending on the size of the Poodle parent, and have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. They often have a soft, curly or wavy coat that can come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, apricot, and black. Maltipoos are intelligent and eager to please, which makes them relatively easy to train. They thrive in both apartment and house settings, provided they receive regular exercise and mental stimulation. Their loving and sociable nature ensures that they quickly become beloved members of any household.
