Cons of a Maltipoos
Barking: Maltipoos may be small but they can sure make a lot of noise. This can be a hard one for some situations and is difficult to train them otherwise.
Grooming: Any mixed breed can result in a mixed bag of fur types. The Maltese has a straight thick coat while the Poodle has natural curl, so your pup can end up with any sort of coat in between. The thick and curly can be the most difficult groom and requires a lot of maintenance. Separation anxiety: Maltipoos are a gentle and loving companion, they do not enjoy being alone for extended periods of time. Stubborn: They are known for being stubborn and of course this varies greatly by dog, but they can be won over with rewards based training. |
