Maltipoo Pup - Boshia

First Snow Fall 07

My boyfriend and I were looking for a small dog (at pet shops and shelters) for almost 9 months until we found our Maltipoo pup Boshia. We found her at a reputable pet shop and took her home at about 8 weeks of age and 3.5 lbs.

Today our Maltipoo is almost 3 years old and is a great dog! She is smart, playful and very loving towards people she knows well. She is a little shy towards new people but not vicious. She loves to run and play with children under 4 years old. Somehow she knows they are just children and is very careful with them.

Our Maltipoo is about 10 lbs and loves to eat, play, sleep, follow me around the house and bark at strange noises. We love her.

Maltipoo Pups - Huggie

Huggie: world's most lovable Maltipoo

This is how I found the best Maltipoo pups. I stopped in a mall pet store just to look! I asked to hold a cute little girl Maltese, but when I commented I prefer boys the clerk left the small room and came back with a 4 month old Maltipoo we took one look at each other, he laid his head on my shoulder and cuddled then looked up with those snapping grey green eyes into mine. This is my puppy I said to the girl and so it was.

Huggie is now 15mos old and he is such a personality. He's very laid back, but will come to you every couple of hours just to cuddle. and gets so excited when my husband or I comes home that he runs in a circle barking this high pitched bark mixed with squeal that is so comical to hear cause he almost never barks otherwise. And anytime we have company he sits quietly right next to their feet hoping for some attention (and he always gets it). He is a little obsessive-compulsive about change though, my husband repositioned the bricks near the doggie door and he sat outside the door for hours until I noticed he was yapping to come in. And if I change the flavor of his Ceasar moist dog food he will only take a couple of bites or none at all.

He is smart and easy to train but he can be stubborn about some things and will not come when you call him...he can sit, lay, fetch, stay and he is very obedient and eager to please. Until you say "Come" with out the leash in your hand. If you call him to come he will just dart out the doggie door and sit just outside it in the backyard looking at the screen door until you come and get him even if he's being called to eat.

He prefers to eat outside and everyday he comes to the kitchen doorway where I always feed him and watches me mixing his dry and moist food together in his bowl he will dart from the kitchen straight outside the doggie door the minute I'm done mixing hoping I will bring the food out. (I fed him outside maybe twice when he was about 6 mths old) I have to go outside and pick him up to bring back to the kitchen to eat...everyday! He also will not eat in a room where there are people! I have to leave the kitchen before he will eat. When I used to feed him on the patio he'd wait until I went back inside and slid the patio door closed before he would begin to eat. He's a character and I couldn't love my Maltipoo any more.

Maltipoo Pups - Doobie"D"

I have one of the cutest Maltipoo pups who is about 1 1/2 yrs. I received him as a rescue dog. He is such a playful boy.

However the previous owner REALLY neglected him. I am now trying to figure out the best way to get him house broken and to listen alot better.

My Malti-poo is such a joy, I hope I can train him. I would hate to get rid of him. He loves to give kisses.

Maltipoo Pups - Mop

Mop and my daughter, Anna

Mop is one of the funniest Maltipoo pups. He is extremely O.C.D.--he stares out the upstairs window most of the day, looking for other dogs/people. When he spots anyone, he then alerts the whole house with barking and scratching at the window. He gets REALLY excited if he sees a white dog that looks like him! He'll also round up his favorite toy or bone and keep it on the windowsill with him.

Mop is also very loyal. Our Maltipoo follows me around, and sleeps on the bed with my husband and I--always making sure some part of him is touching me!

Maltipoo Pups - Baci

Baci bear <3

Baci is the one of the best Maltipoo pups ever! He's almost a year and a half and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is soooo cute and smart! I call him my little poo bear.

Everyone loves him! He comes everywhere with me, even restaurants, and no one ever knows hes there. He lovesss his bag... such a little traveler!

I know other people with Malti-poos and they all have such great personalities. Baci is the friendliest dog, very social with both people and other dogs, and he loves to play. I take him to little doggie playgroups.

He's such a lapdog... he'll jump on your lap and just cuddle with you. :-) He's quite stylish as well ;-)
