maltipoos
Poodle-Maltese mix
A maltipoo is a crossbreed dog produced by mating a Maltese with a poodle.
Like other "designer dogs," maltipoos are bred for specific traits—in this case, small size, a fluffy hypoallergenic coat, and a friendly temperament.
They're popular as companion dogs, especially for apartment dwellers and allergy sufferers: She adopted a maltipoo from the rescue shelter.
