Things to Know About Maltese Poodle Mixes

Maltese Poodles, often referred to as Maltipoos, are known for their charming personalities and hypoallergenic coats. They combine the intelligence and playfulness of Poodles with the affectionate and gentle nature of Maltese. These dogs are typically small, making them suitable for various living environments, including apartments. They thrive on companionship and are eager to please, which makes them relatively easy to train.
