Maltese Poodle Mixes - Lacey Lou

I got my beautiful Maltese Poodle mix Lacey two years ago. I took her in from a breeder who no longer wanted her because she had owned her six months and Lacey never went in heat. She decided she was no longer worth keeping.
She is the sweetest most caring and loving dog I have ever had. My Lacey is also a very smart girl. Whenever she wants something (go out to potty, attention, food, go to bed, go bye, bye, etc....) She stands on her hind legs and moves both paws in a circular motion it is the most adorable thing.
Lacey is also very tolerant to small children that come to visit (you know how young children try to maul and play a little rough with dogs) she has never once growled, barked or attempted to bite them, or anyone else for that matter.
She loves company. I've never seen a person yet she doesn't like. I think if she thought I was in danger though she would protect me. My husband and I was playing one day and he started tickling me and I yelled help to my daughter and there comes Lacey up to us growling. I told her it's ok and she went and laid back down. I was amazed, I had never heard her do that before.
Lacey is also very tolerant to other animals I have two cats and two other dogs she loves playing with the dogs and on several occasions I have seen one of the cats cuddling up with her sleeping. I have NO complaints with Lacey at all she is the perfect dog. I recommend everyone get a Maltipoo and enjoy this wonderful breed.
PS, It's been over two years since I got Lacey and she still has never went in heat, but I love her for her not her ability to have puppies.
