The Maltipoo is a small, affectionate hybrid dog breed resulting from a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle. Known for their playful and friendly nature, Maltipoos make excellent companion pets for families, singles, and seniors alike. They have a soft, curly or wavy coat that is typically low-shedding, making them a popular choice for allergy sufferers. Intelligent and eager to please, they are easy to train and thrive on human interaction. Due to their small size and social temperament, Maltipoos do well in apartments and homes alike, but they require regular grooming and moderate exercise to stay happy and healthy.
