Maltipoos are affectionate, intelligent companions reaching full size between 12 and 18 months. They are highly allergy-friendly with low-shedding, curly coats, though they require high maintenance, including daily brushing and professional grooming. Ideal for apartments, they need moderate exercise and several small meals as puppies, transitioning to twice-daily feeding as adults to maintain health.
