Not AKC recognized, Designer crossbreed (Maltese × Poodle)
Maltipoo
Affectionate. playful. Yours.
Your Maltipoo is sitting on your lap right now, aren't they? Of course they are, because that's where they live. They've got those liquid-dark eyes peering up through a cascade of wavy, impossibly soft fur that feels like cashmere someone left in the dryer.
