Maltipoo

The Maltipoo is a hybrid breed that emerged in the United States at the beginning of the 21st century, the result of a cross between a Poodle and a Maltese. This mixture sought to combine the intelligence and hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle with the sweet and affectionate character of the Maltese. Since then, the Maltipoo has gained popularity thanks to its small size and friendly nature.

The Maltipoo is known to be an affectionate, cheerful and easy to train dog. Its temperament makes it ideal for families of all types, including those with children or elderly people, as it adapts well to different environments and lifestyles.
