Maltipoo Puppies

Meet Our Trio of Maltipoo Charmers: A Bundle of Joy in Three Shades

If you're dreaming of a puppy that looks like it stepped out of a fairytale, feast your eyes on this delightful trio of Maltipoos. From the soft ivory fluffball to the caramel-coated teddy bear and the adventurous brown-and-white explorer, each pup brings its own dose of charm, character, and cuddly energy.

Maltipoos are the perfect blend of elegance and playfulness, combining the affectionate Maltese with the highly intelligent poodle. The result? A dog that’s loving, sharp, hypoallergenic, and endlessly photogenic.

The Story Behind the Breed

Maltipoos are a designer hybrid breed, intentionally created to capture the best of both the Maltese and the poodle. While they’ve only been around since the 1990s, their popularity has skyrocketed for good reason. Maltipoos are known for their gentle temperament, high trainability, and minimal shedding all wrapped up in a compact, portable size.

Most Maltipoos grow to a height of 8–14 inches and weigh between 5–15 pounds. That means they’re just the right size for apartment dwellers, families, or even solo adventurers looking for a loyal companion who doesn’t take up the whole couch.

Triple the Colors, Triple the Personality

Let’s talk aesthetics and this trio doesn’t disappoint.

• Cream Maltipoo (Left): This snow-white beauty has soft waves and dreamy eyes. With a plush coat that’s perfect for snuggling, this pup gives off a calm and cuddly vibe. Perfect for anyone looking for a gentle soul with a heart of gold.

• Caramel Maltipoo (Center): Radiating warmth like a sunbeam, this golden-brown darling is pure teddy bear energy. Outgoing, affectionate, and alert, this pup is a born people-pleaser and will be the first to greet you at the door with a wagging tail.

• Brown & White Maltipoo (Right): With striking markings and a spunky personality, this pup is equal parts charm and mischief. Curious and clever, it loves playtime and will happily follow you around the house like a furry shadow.

Each of these pups sports a wavy to slightly curly coat, typical of the Maltipoo breed. These coats are low-shedding, but that doesn’t mean low-maintenance. Regular grooming is essential to keep their fur clean, untangled, and healthy.

Temperament & Behavior

Maltipoos are known for being friendly, social, and deeply loyal. These are the kinds of dogs that want to be near their humans whether that means lounging on your lap while you watch TV or trotting beside you on a walk.

They are intelligent, quick learners and respond well to positive reinforcement. With early training and socialization, they become well-rounded dogs that get along with kids, adults, and other pets alike. Their cheerful nature makes them a hit with everyone they meet.

That said, Maltipoos can be a little sensitive. Harsh corrections or being left alone for too long can make them anxious. They thrive in environments where they receive lots of attention, affection, and gentle guidance.

Daily Care & Exercise

Despite their small size, Maltipoos are energetic and need regular exercise to stay happy. Around 30 minutes a day of walking, playing fetch, or even indoor enrichment is enough to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.

Their intelligence means they get bored easily, so toys that challenge their minds like puzzle feeders or interactive games are great tools. A mentally enriched Maltipoo is a well-behaved Maltipoo.

And don’t forget the training! These pups are eager to please and can master basic commands quickly. Teaching them to sit, stay, or do tricks will keep them mentally sharp and emotionally connected to you.

Grooming Guide

While they don’t shed much, Maltipoos do require consistent grooming. Their soft, often curly or wavy coats can become matted if not brushed daily. A slicker brush or metal comb works well to remove tangles and debris.

You’ll also want to:

• Schedule a professional grooming every 4–6 weeks.

• Clean their ears weekly to avoid moisture buildup.

• Trim nails regularly.

• Brush their teeth 2–3 times a week to prevent dental issues.

Their eyes may also need occasional wiping to prevent tear stains, especially on lighter-colored pups.

Health & Nutrition

Maltipoos are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they have some predispositions. Common issues include:

• Patellar luxation

• Dental disease

• Allergies

• Ear infections

Routine vet checkups, vaccinations, and preventative care can help keep your pup healthy. Feed them a high-quality, age-appropriate diet ideally one approved by AAFCO. Avoid overfeeding, as small breeds can gain weight quickly.

Provide fresh water at all times and consider feeding them twice daily to maintain stable energy levels.

Perfect for Many Homes

Whether you're a family with kids, a couple with a calm lifestyle, or someone living solo, these Maltipoos are excellent companions. They’re adaptable, gentle, and love being part of daily life.

Their small stature means they don’t require a backyard, but they do appreciate space to play. Even a cozy apartment can feel like a palace if you’re their favorite human.

These puppies also make fantastic emotional support animals due to their empathetic nature and desire to be near their owners.

Which One Will You Choose?

With three distinct personalities and coats to choose from, there’s a Maltipoo here for every kind of dog lover.

• Want a relaxed cuddle buddy? The creamy cutie is calling your name.

• Prefer a bouncy, golden teddy bear? Go with the caramel darling.

• Craving adventure and curiosity? That brown-and-white ball of mischief might just be your soulmate.

No matter which one you choose, you’ll be gaining a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining new family member.
