Apariencia

Maltipoo dogs are toy-sized, graceful, elegant, and perfectly adorable.

Their steps are graceful, their demeanor is kind, and their body language inspires friendliness.

The Maltipoo hair is usually wavy or curly, rich, thick, and low shedding. Maltipoos can come in various colors that are inherited from their parents and appear with different color patterns. Color combinations and solid-colored coats are both common in adult Maltipoo dogs. Common Maltipoo colors include black, white, brown, chocolate, red, cream, and apricot.

As a mix between two toy-sized dogs, the Maltipoo generally weighs less than 10 pounds and as little as 5 pounds and has an average height of 9 to 12 inches. The adult Maltipoo size is smaller in Toy, Teacup, and Micro Teacup Maltipoo dogs.

Temperamento

Maltipoos are calm-tempered dogs that don’t possess aggressiveness or territorial behavior. They are kind, sociable, and very friendly dogs when it comes to others. Sweet, lively, and perfectly gracious, the Maltipoo was made for an environment in which affection and love are dominant.

Los perros y cachorros Maltipoo disfrutan estar rodeados de gente, especialmente si son el centro de atención. Dado su gusto por el entretenimiento y su pasión por los trucos, estos perros seguramente ofrecerán un verdadero espectáculo para familiares y amigos. Como perros orientados a las personas, también son amigables con los desconocidos. Les encanta recibir atención de quien esté dispuesto a dársela, y son grandes fanáticos de los elogios y las palabras de cariño.

Maltipoos also love being part of a large family or a multi-pet household, but they can become jealous if another pet gets more attention than them. Spoiling these dogs too much can also come with undesirable consequences like over-attachment, excessive barking, refusal to follow commands, or separation anxiety when left alone. If not spoiled, Maltipoo dogs are naturally independent, well-behaved, and perfectly happy to be on their own a few hours per day.

Cuidado

Maltipoo Grooming

Los Maltipoos son una raza de perros que sueltan muy poco pelo y tienen muy pocas necesidades de arreglo. Para facilitar el cuidado de tu perro en casa, es mejor comenzar con sesiones cortas de arreglo cuando tu cachorro es muy pequeño. Permitir que tu cachorro se acostumbre a ser manipulado antes de su primer corte de pelo no solo es beneficioso para la transición del cuidado en casa al cuidado profesional, sino que también hace que el proceso de arreglo en casa sea mucho más sencillo. Por lo general, los requisitos de arreglo dependen de la longitud y el estilo del corte de pelo de tu perro.

If your Maltipoo has a teddy bear cut or a puppy cut, you will need to brush it once or twice every week. If you opt to keep your Maltipoo’s hair long, you will need to brush it once every two days to avoid tangles or matting. Your Maltipoo will also need to have its ears checked and cleaned regularly, and its teeth brushed a few times per week. You can give your Maltipoo a bath every month or so to keep its coat shiny and smooth, or sooner if required.

Maltipoo Exercise Needs

Como cachorros, los Maltipoos tienen mucha energía para gastar y requerirán paseos más frecuentes durante el día. Hasta 5 paseos diarios serían ideales para los cachorros Maltipoo, no solo para ayudarles a aprender dónde hacer sus necesidades, sino también para permitirles investigar y descubrir su entorno. Para los Maltipoos adultos, los requerimientos de ejercicio son menores.

One or two daily walks of a combined 30 minutes should suffice to keep them exercised. Indoor games, chases, and their favorite fetch activities, are also great ways to keep your Maltipoos exercised, stimulated, and happy.

Salud del Maltipoo

As hybrids, Maltipoo dogs enjoy excellent health. Generally, mixed breeds like the Maltipoo are not prone to the same health problems as their purebred parents. Some health conditions that are possible within the Maltipoo breed include allergies, ear infections, dental issues, and obesity.

Maltipoo Lifespan

La esperanza de vida del Maltipoo está entre 12 y 15 años. Para ayudar a tu Maltipoo a superar los 15 años, proporciónale una dieta saludable con comida para perros de alta calidad o comidas caseras especialmente diseñadas para perros, y asegúrate de que haga ejercicio regularmente.

Maltipoo Training

Maltipoo puppies are an easy dog breed to train, especially given their drive to please. As a cross between two of the world’s most intelligent dog breeds, Maltipoo puppies inherit a greater intelligence than most dogs. They can be trained easily for basic dog commands and are also excellent puppy students for agility and obedience training. When training a Maltipoo puppy, it is recommended to use a gentle approach and reward-based training methods. Generally, Maltipoo puppies enjoy their puppy treats as much as petting and words of praise.

To have a well-socialized Maltipoo adult dog, it is best to begin introducing your Maltipoo puppy to different dogs, people, pets, and children, as early as possible. Begin introducing your puppy to various friends or family members indoors first, in a quiet and low-distraction environment. Once your puppy is comfortable with interacting with others in its comfort zone, you can move on to a place where there are more distractions and gradually introduce other people or pets.

Leash training should also begin indoors, before your puppy’s first walk, to ensure a smooth transition. Allow your Maltipoo puppy to become comfortable with its leash or harness before its first walk, and practice basic leash commands and recalls indoors.

History

Maltipoo puppies are a designer crossbreed of a purebred Maltese dog and a purebred Miniature Poodle. Like most Poodle crossbreeds or doodle breeds, the Maltipoo puppies were designed to be hypoallergenic companion pets for allergy-suffering owners. They were first created in the United States a little over three decades ago and, although they aren’t as ancient as some pure breeds, their popularity has matched that of their parents. Since their inception, Maltipoos charmed the world with their dog skills and instincts. They have proven to be even more remarkable than Maltipoo breeders envisioned when they began designing them.

In the 30 years or so since they first appeared, the Maltipoo dogs have made headlines with their elegant appearance and delightful personalities. They have shown excellent qualities for therapy work as well as great responses to any type of training. As it was intended, Maltipoo puppies also benefit from better health, often being protected from the ailments that affect their parent breeds, all as a result of their crossbreed genes.

Aunque la mayoría de los cachorros Maltipoo son un cruce de primera generación entre un Maltés y un Poodle, también existen Maltipoos de segunda y tercera generación, como el cruce Maltipoo con Maltipoo y el Maltipoo cruzado de nuevo con un Poodle. Debido a su popularidad en constante crecimiento, los Maltipoos también se encuentran en diferentes variaciones de tamaño, como el Toy Maltipoo, Teacup Maltipoo y Micro Teacup Maltipoo.
