Understanding the Maltipom: A Perfect Companion Blend

These intentional crosses combine distinct qualities to create exceptional companion animals. The American Kennel Club recognizes both parent breeds for their companion qualities that shine through in Maltipoms.
Maltipom Characteristics Overview:
- Petite Size: Typically reaching just 4-8 pounds as adults, they’re perfect for lap cuddling and easy transport
- Hypoallergenic Coats: Their fluffy double coat sheds minimally, making them excellent choices for allergy-sensitive households
- Playful Temperament: They inherit the Pomeranian’s playful curiosity, balanced with the Maltese’s gentle, affectionate nature
- Adaptable Companions: Equally content in apartments or homes, they thrive wherever their family is present
- Long Lifespan: With proper care, Maltipoms often enjoy 12-16 years of companionship
Our Maltipom Breeding Approach: Small Size, Big Standards
Creating healthy toy-sized companions requires specialized knowledge. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the Maltipom’s signature petite size while prioritizing robust health and stable temperament.
Health Screening for Parent Breeds
Every breeding pair undergoes breed-specific testing:
- Maltese Health Focus: Patellar luxation screening, liver shunt evaluation, dental health assessment

- Shared Concerns: Dental crowding assessment (common in toy breeds), hypoglycemia prevention protocols
- All testing follows guidelines from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals

Frequently Asked Questions About Maltipoms
Are Maltipoms good with children and other pets?
When properly socialized, Maltipoms generally do well with gentle, respectful children and other pets. However, their small size requires supervision around very young children or larger animals. We specifically socialize our puppies with appropriate companions.
How much exercise do these small puppies need?
Maltipoms need moderate exercise—typically 20-30 minutes of active play daily, plus short walks. Their small size makes them ideal for indoor play sessions. Mental stimulation through training and puzzle toys is equally important for these intelligent companions.
Do Maltipoms bark excessively?
Like many small breeds, Maltipoms can be vocal, especially when alert. However, proper training and socialization from puppyhood significantly reduce excessive barking. We begin positive reinforcement training for quiet behavior before adoption.
What’s the difference between Maltipoms and Maltipoos?
Maltipoms are Maltese Ă— Pomeranian crosses, typically weighing 4-8 pounds and having fluffy coats. Maltipoos are Maltese Ă— Poodle crosses, often slightly larger (5-15 pounds) with curlier, more hypoallergenic coats. Both make wonderful companions but have different coat textures and slightly varied temperaments.
