History
The Maltipoo was created in the U.S. to give families a cheerful, small dog that doesn’t shed fur or cause allergies. The Maltese breed comes from Malta, a Mediterranean island, and was meant to be a companion. Meanwhile, the Standard Poodle started in Germany and was used for retrieving things from water. A Maltipoo can show traits from both breeds in how they look, act, and behave, but generally, both the Maltese and Poodle are known for being friendly, flexible, and intelligent.
Ideal Owner
Maltipoos are tiny and easy to manage, making them perfect for living in cities where space is limited. They prefer not to be by themselves, so it’s best for them to have a person around often who can include them in everyday activities. They get along well with kids, especially older ones, due to their small stature.
