Our Maltipoo died today! She was 11 and cuddled to us all the time. I'm so lost without her cuddling up to me :(

When you fall in love with your maltipoo the owner will eventually develop separation anxiety as well ☺️. Luckily sometimes I get to take my Khloe to work with me. Nicely written and produced ❤️ ya Rosco 🙂

My baby Ella got all these 5 reasons but I cannot imagine my life without her. 🥺 I’m the one that have separate anxiety. Lol

I have had my maltipoo for about 2 years now and she doesn’t deal with all these issues but they are definitely good points. Mine is all black so it’s especially harder to keep track of her at night. I bought bells to go on her collar to help track the little shadow. The fur is definitely an issue brushing and grooming is very important for this breed. The separation anxiety part is still something I am trying to cure. I currently live alone and have to leave her home when I go to work and sometimes come back to things being torn/chewed up. Lately I have been leaving a couple dirty shirts with her before I go to have my scent near her. As for barking at other dogs I have never seen mine act this way. She usually is very playful and submissive towards any other dog she sees and super friendly with every person she meets. Also her name is Pepper.

I have a 8 year old 6 pound maltipoo and she is the love of my life. And this video is right on.

I have a thirteen-year-old apricot malt-poo girl named Ali. She has been and continues to be the sunshine in our home. This video is very accurate--they are more than worth the extra work ; ) Peace

Thanks for the info. I had a Maltipoo for 13 years and he died a few weeks ago. Still difficult without him being around He hardly barked unless only necessary. I miss him sooo much! 😢

My daughter has a 5 lb maltipoo MAX...He is so smart and loving. MAX does respond to a firm voice . Especially grandmas! We go for long walks and when he gets tired..l push him in his doggy stroller! I live in CA. so we can get out often. MAX is the perfect dog for our family.

Lulu has been part of our family since Dec. of 2020, she has separation anxiety and whines when we have to leave her at home. She does not bark that much otherwise, mostly if there's a delivery to our front door. When walking she does not bark at other dogs and is super friendly to people and dogs alike. She does chew shoes if we leave them unattended on the floor. Our fault, so we make sure we don't, there is also a rug she destroyed by scratching so we now have closed the door to that room and will replace the rug. Nonetheless she is a delight. She is loving and playful and so we are training her to sit and obey commands. You cannot help but love a little dog that tugs on you to play with her and follows you around like a little shadow.

None of these reasons will deter anyone from getting one of these cuties ❤️❤️❤️

[bartbateman]

Oh please, how can one NOT want a maltipoo, they are so freakin cute!!! I was telling a friend of mine, I’m starting to realize, every guy is a young kid at heart. When we take our daily walks, there will be guys in their late 40s, early 50s that we will pass by, who will just glow when seeing my pup. Guys who by appearance look hardcore, thuggish, whatever, just turn to mush and want to pet her. It’s so cute.

about the guard dog thing when we got tucker at 2 months old he’s our maltipoo he might not look ferocious but certainly has a loud bark and would seem like a Great Dane without a physical appearance. He will be fast asleep and hear a door knob twist and will beak his head off

I totally feel you on the grooming costs and the whole crazy hair situation! That’s the poodle in him! I have three standard poodles and they all have to be groomed atleast once every 6 weeks, bathed every two weeks and hair brushed everyday! (Although I only brush mine once a week, shhhh!) There is a lot of time and money that goes into grooming any kind of poodle or poodle mix!

[AnneeMackenzie]

i had a Bichon that i lost at 10 years old.
swore i would never have another dog but had little Lily within a week. i love my maltipoo..she is cuddly smart and was easy to train. She barks but mainly greeting people she knows. She does tremor at things she does not like like riding in the car on curvy roads. Believe me they are a true little loving dog

We have a 4 month old toy maltipoo. He is such a happy little guy and likes any critter or person he meets. Before him we had twin maltese pups. One always barked at my neighbor for attention when we were out. One night someone tried to break into his house and my little buddy was in the window barking his head off and scared the person prying his bathroom window open off. His house is only about 15' away from mine. We fell asleep on the couch facing his window. I heard noise, but didn't think much of it, but my fearless little buddy was in the window barking away. As always Roscoe is such a cutie. Give him pets and treats from us. You have done an amazing job training him. I wish I could do half as well training. 🤓🐶

My family is thinking about getting a Maltipoo towards the end of summer! I'm really excited and I've just been practically binge watching dog videos and documentaries.

[CarolanneTitmus-Greene]

It is so important to consider the money needed for a lifetime of grooming and vet bills a dog will require.

[valeriesilche]

Love your videos! Before i got my Puppy Maltipoo Nola, i began watching your videos. Soo much of new things i find in my girl.

[josephpatrow]

Very accurate information. Mine's the same, protective, attached, anxious, but loving.

[cschevette]

I don’t have problems with my baby Nyla’s coat at all I keep at about 1.5 “ ! However I everything else may be accurate ! But I love it, so much personality wouldn’t trade her for the world she literally my lil baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️
