About Maltipoo
The first Maltipoos were bred as pets by American breeders 30 years ago. Many Maltipoos are white, but there are also black, brown, and red Maltipoos. Maltipoos should be kept indoors and not allowed to be outside for too long. They should only be allowed outside to go to the toilet, to play or to exercise. Maltipoos should be bathed every 3 weeks to a month. Maltipoos shed little to no, making them a good pet for people with allergies.
