Apricot Male MaltePoo

As a mix between Cavaliers and Poodles, Cavapoos are sweet dogs that make great friends for kids, dogs, and other pets. Each pup’s personality will vary based on genetics and environment, but you can count on most Cavapoos to be loving dogs that stay glued to your side. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-25 pounds and stand 9-14 inches tall.

Cavapoos are generally excellent with children of all ages. Cavapoos make great companions for anyone, from small kids to older couples. They’re friendly with strangers and get along well with dogs and other pets too. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

The Cavapoo needs exercise every day but nothing too strenuous. They will be happy playing inside, walking, fetching, or paying a visit to the dog park. If your Cavapoo is interested, dog sports and games like agility and rally can be another good way to get their energy out. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

Cavapoos are known for their soft, Poodle-like coat, though a few have the Cavalier’s longer, silkier, wavy coat. These pups come in a wide variety of colors, including gold, black, white, Blenheim (brown and white), or tricolor (black, white, and tan). The Cavapoo’s shedding will depend on their genes, as those with Cavalier fur will shed more, while those with a Poodle coat will hardly shed at all. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Cavapoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. These dogs are the perfect size for apartments, but if they live in a house, they should primarily stay indoors and around people. They are fairly easy to train.

The Maltipoo is a cute cross between a Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. While mixed breeds can be a bit unpredictable, most Maltipoos are little bundles of joy with a sweet disposition and puppy playfulness that lasts a lifetime. Full-grown, they typically weigh 5-20 pounds and stand 8-14 inches tall.

Maltipoos are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. They can co-exist with dogs and other pets if they’re socialized as puppies, but they’re somewhat territorial. They get along well with kids and love the companionship. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

The Maltipoo is easygoing and do not require much exercise, so their activity needs can typically be met with just a few activities per day. Whether it’s gentle wrestling indoors, taking a walk, or playing games in the yard, Maltipoos love getting their heart rate up a bit, especially if it involves spending time with you. Overall, their exercise needs are low.

The Maltipoo’s coat can range from the silky texture of the Maltese to the distinctive frizz of the Poodle and can be many colors, including grey, black, white, and apricot. Most Maltipoos are a good match for allergy sufferers because they don’t shed much, but these pups require an owner with plenty of patience for grooming, as they need regular brushing and even professional care to keep their coats in good shape. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Maltipoos are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Because of their size and activity needs, Maltipoos are a great fit for families that live in apartments or smaller homes. They are fairly easy to train.
