The following pictures are examples of our pups only, they are not available for sale. The Darling Maltepoo! The Maltepoo (also spelled Maltipoo) is a small mixed breed dog. Mari-May Maltepoo puppies for sale are a 1st generation cross between a tiny AKC Toy Poodle and a tiny AKC Maltese. These charming little bundles of joy have been popular for many decades and stars such as Jessica Simpson are pleased to show off their prized Maltepoos! Mari-May Maltipoo pups are particularly popular due to the fact that they are a very small small in size, easy to train and they have exceptional temperaments. Their coat is angel soft and can be either straight or a bit curly (though never quite as curly as a Toy Poodle). Our Maltipoo puppies for sale come in many colors, including gold, grey, cream, white, and black. Temperament Maltepoo puppies are extremely intelligent and very good with children. They are affectionate, loyal, awsomely playful, cuddly, and easy to train. Their AKC purebred parents do not have nervous personalities and this makes Mari-May Maltipoos self-content, gentle and easy to get along with. They are happy, people loving (especially children!) and socialize well with other pets. Due to their calm natures, maltepoos make excellent lap dogs. Playful and affectionate a Maltipoo puppy makes a great companion and family pet. The Maltepoo is a cross between an AKC Toy Poodle and an AKC Maltese. Our maltepoo puppies for sale are all 1st generation breedings. The best way to determine the temperament of a maltipoo puppy is to look up both breeds and know that you can have a mix of any of the characteristics or traits of the pure bred parents. Height & Weight This widely depends on which Toy Poodle and Maltese were crossed to make the Maltipoos. Mari-May Maltepoo pups are the result of the careful selection of both parents after a complete evaluation of health, personality and temperament. Our Maltipoo parents are quite small usually between 3 and 6 pounds. Our pups, as adults, can range anywhere between 3 and 6 pounds and we do occasionally have very tiny tea-cup sizes, under 4 pounds. Health Concerns Unknown as no research as been preformed on this mix, however mix breeds in general tend to be healthier than pure breeds, as the breeding lines are more broadly spread and there is limited opportunity for inbreeding. At Mari-May Kennels, there are no inbreeding practices. Our extensive experience indicates that Maltepoos (in our breeding lines) are vigorous, healthy and long lived. Exercise Maltepoos love to play and will make a game out of almost anything - fetching toys or playing hide-and-seek! Maltipoos also love to cuddle and sit contently on a loving lap Life Expectancy About 15 years or more. A natural, whole foods diet greatly extends the life of a Maltipoo. Grooming The Maltepoo should be brushed weekly and clipped every 6-12 weeks. Keep the nails trimmed. Trim hair around bottom and eyes as needed. Maltepoos do not shed and that makes them a good choice for allergy sufferers. Group Loving devoted companion!
