Maltepoo

A Maltepoo (also known as a "maltipoo", "moodle", "maltapoo", and "malti-doodle"), is a mixed-breed dog bred from Poodle and Maltese parents. [Everything You Need to Know about Malt-I-Poo's, by Lynn Hilton] [The Complete Idiot's Guide to Designer Dogs, byMargaret H. Bonham] The maltipoo is one of many increasingly common poodle hybrids, largely the result of recent interest in so-called designer dogs. While Maltese dogs tend to have a generally uniform conformation, poodles can vary widely in size and color. Consequently, Maltepoos demonstrate this variation. The dog naturally exhibits characteristics from each of its parents. A particular advantage maltepoos are said is a consistently small amount or lack of shedding, due to both parents being low shedders.
