A cross between the Maltese and the Poodle, the Maltipoo is one of the most sought-after designer puppies in the country. Their hypoallergenic, non-shedding coats make them a perfect fit for any allergy sufferers. These dogs were bred to show love and be loved, once in the presence of a Maltipoo it may be hard to go to any other breed. And if that doesn’t make them desirable enough, they are very easily trainable and enjoy the process.
Appearance and Grooming
These puppies have a low shedding coat and a fluffy, soft and wool-like texture which is medium to long and varies from slightly wavy to curly. The coat can have different colors such as cream, white or silver. They require regular brushing to keep their coats clean and clipping of their coats once or twice a year, though trimming around the eyes, muzzle and ears is recommended more often. The ears also need to be cleaned to get rid of dirt, debris and moisture. This breed needs to have regular dental check-ups and nail care. It is recommended to start the grooming process in childhood to get it used to it.
Temperament
While both Poodles and Maltese are very loving and affectionate dogs, the Maltese has a tendency to become overly assertive and reactive in certain situations, and may nip if provoked. On the other hand, the Poodle, particularly the Miniature, has a milder temperament and is far more tolerant, and this tends to shine through.
Family and Companionship
This quintessential companion dog, adores attention and loves to cuddle, and should never be forced to spend long periods alone, as it is prone to separation anxiety. Expect this puppy to be lively, inquisitive and eager to play. They make an exceptional family pet as they enjoy socialization and children.
Exercise
Though designed for indoor life, your new puppy will still need daily exercise to stay healthy, happy and out of mischief. The have lots of energy and if not burned in a constructive manor can result in destructive behavior. Taking short walks and both indoor and outdoor play sessions are perfect for this small pup.
Training and Socialization
Known for their intelligence, affection, sociability and loyalty, these dogs become very attached to their owners. This in combination of its inherited intelligence of the Poodle and the sweetness of the Maltese that makes training simple as they are eager to please. Early socialization is highly recommended in order for these dogs to interact with different people, pets and places. Be sure to use positive reinforcement tactics such as food rewards, play and praise.

Baths should be given every 3 weeks. Any more than this can cause their skin to become very dry and flaky.

| Loc: | The Villages, FL |
Purchased Lola from Premier Pups after searching most of the East Coast for a reputable breeder. Could not be more pleased with the results and experience! Premier Pups was extremely accommodating prior to us purchasing Lola and the entire process before, during, and after has been really great. Premier Pups is extremely well run, thorough, and a real professional organization. Great to see in an industry that sometimes gets a bad rap. Have had Lola for four months, she is smart, healthy, full of life, and would highly recommend Premier Pups to anyone looking for a new family member!

| Loc: | Valley Stream, NY |
We recently suffered the loss of our precious Bubba-Maltese but were very nervous about how to go about getting a new puppy. My friend has a beautiful fur baby from Premier and I decided to give them a try. The entire process was seamless from looking at a video of our fur baby-Rocco to receiving him from the transport. We were walked through the entire process. Roger the transporter kept us updated as to their arrival time. Rocco was clean and the van was immaculate. I received his welcome packet of food, medication, harness, leash and bed. Roger even filled me in on when Rocco ate last and what he ate. Premier has reached out to me twice already to see how Rocco is adjusting to his new home. What a pleasure dealing with Premier. We love Rocco and his is a fantastic addition to our family. We look forward to many years of pleasure with him.

| Loc: | Fort Washington MD |
I purchased Sugar, now Lily, over three years ago. The experience was great and easy. Amazing customer service. Lily is sweetest dog ever , when she was received and even now, she stopped strangers in their tracks wanting to pet and okay with her because she was so adorably small. She was 15 oz when purchased and now he is 4lbs. I’m looking to purchase another puppy and immediately came back to premier pup, then suddenly realized I never provided a review of my great experience.

We purchased our fur baby Snoopy 2/2020 and he came home to us 3/2020. The buying experience was great from start to finish. Premier Pups resolved the few “hiccups” that we had promptly. We were blessed with a healthy 3 pound bundle of joy. On his first birthday on 1/23/21 he weighed in at 6.5 pounds and is the picture of health. Thank you Premier Pups

Rhythm brings so much happiness to my family! Everyone loves her and says she looks like a teddy bear. Rhythm was an eight week old puppy when I received her. Premier pups staff was amazing! I drove to Lexington to pick her up form the airport and it was a great experience. I highly recommend Premier pups to anyone who is looking to get a precious puppy. It's can be a gamble getting a puppy online but Premier Pups is reputable.

| Loc: | Bakersfield CA |
Miss Lotti ( originally Jayne), came into our family in late June. She is a puffball of love. She has the sweetest temperament, and sleeps through the night. She has adapted surprisingly well for an 8 week old puppy. Premier Pup made our adoption process so smooth. I can’t believe how very organized their entire team is. We experienced a small hiccup with paperwork at the airport, snd it was handled so professionally. I would give them a 12 plus on a scale of 1-10. I have nothing but praise for this business, and wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone. Thank you to all; breeder, and staff for making our experience wonderful.
