About Mari-May Maltipoos Mari-May Kennels HOME The Darling Maltipoo! The Maltipoo (also spelled Maltepoo) is one of the most popular, small, mixed breed dogs of all time. Mari-May Maltipoo puppies are bred to be highly intelligent and gentle. These charming little bundles of joy have been popular for many decades and stars such as Jessica Simpson have been pleased to show off their prized Maltipoos! Mari-May Maltipoo pups are particularly popular because they are very easy to train, and they have exceptional temperaments, and they are an excellent size for families, as well as a convenient and manageable size for people of all ages. Their non-shedding hair is angel soft like a Maltese, 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 Mari May Kenels Maltipoo puppies are extremely intelligent and very good with children. They are affectionate, loyal, awsomely playful, cuddly, and easy to train. They 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 (they especially love children!), and socialize well with other pets - especially cats. Due to their calm natures, Maltipoos make excellent lap dogs. Playful and affectionate a Maltipoo puppy makes a great companion and family pet. Height and Weight This widely depends on the parents of the puppy. Mari-May Maltipoo pups are the result of the careful selection of both parents after a complete evaluation of health, personality and temperament. Our Maltipoo parents range in size from between 5 to 14 pounds. Our pups, as adults, can range anywhere between 4 and 14 pounds. We do not, and can not, guarantee adult size and color. 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 Maltipoos (in our breeding lines) are vigorous, healthy and uaually long lived. Exercise Maltipoos 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 14 years, sometimes more. A natural, whole foods diet greatly extends the life of a Maltipoo, and we feed our dogs a high quality diet rich in organically natural foods. Grooming The Maltipoo should be brushed weekly and clipped every 6 to 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! The Mari May Difference Mari May Maltipoos are the result of a very careful breeding program that considers not only the outstanding health of both parents but their exceptional personalities as well. This helps ensure that our Maltipoos are gentle, extremely social, sound minded and non agressive - wonderful family dogs in every way!
