About the Malti Poo

The Malti Poo is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Maltese and the Miniature Poodle. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Malti Poo is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Description

The Malti Poo is a cross breed between the Maltese and the Poodle. This breed, which is sometimes referred to as a designer breed of dog is not a breed that is recognized by the AKC because it is not a purebred. Even when both parents are purebred it is not possible to register this dog. There are some hybrid organizations that are now recognizing crossbreeds.

The Malti Poo may have a coat that is long and straight or it may be somewhat wavy or even curly. Colors for the Malti Poo may be gray, cream, white, red, black or apricot. The exact coloring as well as the type of coat that is achieved in a Malti Poo will largely depend upon its heritage. Some Malti Poos tend to take more after the poodle side while others more strongly resemble the Maltese side. The size of the dog will also vary as well. One of the largest factors that can play a role in the size of the dog will depend upon whether one of the parents was a standard poodle or a miniature poodle. Miniature poodles will produce Malti Poos that are smaller while standard poodles will produce larger Malti Poos. A Malti Poo may be either a first generation or a second generation. First generation Malti Poos come from two purebred parents while second generation dogs are produced by breeding two Malti Poos.

Also known as a Malt-A-Poo.

Also spelled Malti Poo.

Character

The character of the Malti Poo tends to be cheerful as well as lively. This is a dog that is alert, agile and active. For the most part, the Malti Poo is very loving and loyal as well as affectionate. This is definitely a dog that craves human interaction and attention. While the Malti Poo gets along well enough with children and will make a good family pet, it should be noted that due to the often small size of this dog it could be vulnerable in a home with small children. As a result, the Malti Poo will usually do best in a home with older children. The Malti Poo is known for getting along well with other animals, especially those they are raised with. Due to the fact that the Malti Poo is so loving and affectionate, it does not make a good watchdog.

General Health

The Malti Poo breed has an average life expectancy between 10 and 14 years. This is a small breed dog, but it is one that is active and will require exercise in order to remain healthy. Due to the fact that it is a small breed, owners will need to take care with this dog when it jumps and plays, particularly as it grows older. Also, owners should be aware that the eyes of this breed can become dirty fast and will need to be cleaned several times per week in order for the dog’s vision to remain healthy. In addition, the ears will need to be kept clean. It may also be necessary to pluck the hair out of the ear canal, a task that should be tended to by the vet.

Maintenance

When a Malti Poo has a long coat, it will be necessary to brush the coat on a daily basis. Failure to do so will result in the coat becoming snarled and tangled. If the coat is curly then it will be necessary for the coat to be professionally clipped. When necessary, the Malti Poo will need to be bathed but only a mild shampoo should be used as anything strong could cause skin disorders in this dog breed. Care should also be taken to make sure that shampoo does not get into the dogs eyes while bathing. They are low to no shedders.

The maltipoo is a hyoallergic dog that requires frequent grooming to prevent matting since they don’t shed.

Ideal Environment

The ideal environment for the Malti Poo will be one in which the owner will see to the dog’s grooming and health requirements and provide plenty of opportunity for play and exercise. This is not a dog that can or should be left alone for long periods of time. It does best with older children who will be considerate and not engage in rough house type of play with the dog. While the Malti Poo enjoys time spent outside this is not a dog that should live outside. It will do best when allowed to live inside and play outside at times.

Dog Training!

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com.  Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.

Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.

    Cutting hair above the eyes

    Is it okay to trim the hair above the maltipoo's eyes (the bangs area)? My puppies hair is covering her eyes? Some one said their hair grows that way as their eyes are sensitive to light?
