The Maltipoo is a Maltese and Poodle mix breed bringing together a friendly personality with a non-shedding coat. Their sizes, personalities, and behaviors vary widely depending on the parents. For example, some might be slightly smaller and more Maltese-like, or some might have the curlier, non-shedding Poodle coat. Either way, this breed is considered a small companion dog, loves to be around their owners, and is a great fit for almost all families and houses.

What Are Teddy Bear Dog & Puppy Breeds?

Chances are, you’ve seen dogs of lots of different breeds and mixes that brought out the “gotta-cuddle” impulse in you. And you may have also heard people talking about “Teddy Bear Dogs.”  A teddy bear dog is not a single breed. This unofficial collection of canines includes any adorable pup with soulful shoe-button eyes, a boopable nose, and fluffy or plush soft fur. They vary in size -- although when people say they are looking for a dog who makes them think of a teddy bear, they usually are envisioning a small dog who can join them on their lap. It’s important to remember, however, that lots of dogs who are small in size can really fill up a room with their big personalities!
