Personality
These dogs take on the temperament of both Poodles and Maltese. They are amusing, clever little dogs.
Malti-poos are also highly intelligent and easy to train. You should socialize and train them to combat barking and boredom.
They are sometimes reserved with strangers and can serve as a good watchdog.
This dog does best with older, considerate children as they can be high-strung and timid.
Most people find them to have a people pleasing and carefree personality.

Appearance
If you like a wide variety of colors, than a Maltese Poodle mix might be right for you! Poodles come in many colors such as apricot, cream, black, white, and brown. When you mix
this with a white Maltese, you get varying shades and patches of color. With so much variety, you'll be sure to find a color and style that suits you.
Hair is usually straight and grows continuously like human hair. Therefore, they need consistant grooming
by either brushing regularly or keeping a short puppy cut. These dogs are also nonshedding and most are hypoallergenic.
Full grown Malti-Poos average 6-9 lbs, about the same size as a purebred Maltese.
