Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Maltese / Mixed. According to Mocha's foster family, legend has it that he was born from a snowstorm, but as soon as he stepped out into the sunlight, he walked right into the mud and slush, thus leaving him with a earthy-cocoa-colored inspired kind of fluffy coat. He has the absolute BEST puppy antics and has most recently started terrorizing his stuffies and empty paper towel tubes with his fierce zoomies, dazzling all who watch his uncoordinated spins and hops. Sure to overturn the nearest water bowl and then (sometimes!) cry about, Mocha is full of personality and tippy-tappy paw thumps that far exceeds his tiny stature. His fluffy coat will require maintenance; his foster family is already brushing him daily to prevent mats and tangles from forming. His foster family reports: "It's quite accurate to describe him as a toe-biter since he is too small to reach our ankles!" Mocha is learning to nibble on his toys (and not toes) and is pretty consistent about using the puppy pad in his playpen. He is using a puppy pad due to the inclement weather and because he is very small and low to ground, it's incredibly hard to tell if he's actually going potty or not. He will cry if he has been without attention for too long or it's time for his next meal, though generally settles down in his playpen for quiet time and overnight. His family should be prepared to be committed and show him the ropes of being a pet--everything from potty training, what to chew and not to chew, and basic obedience. He's really enthusiastic about play, chase, and finding treats and he's shaping up to be quite the smart pup! All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Maltipoo, a delightful crossbreed, emerges from the charming combination of a Maltese and a Miniature Poodle, offering a compact and affectionate companion. Originating in the United States, this "designer dog" was selectively bred for its desirable traits, particularly its low-shedding coat and amiable disposition. Physically, Maltipoos typically weigh between 5-20 pounds, sporting a soft, wavy to curly coat that comes in various colors, most commonly white, cream, or apricot. Their temperament is a major draw: they are known for being intelligent, playful, and incredibly loving, often forming strong bonds with their families. This makes them highly suitable for both families with children and apartment living, provided they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. While generally healthy, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, and white shaker syndrome, inherited from their parent breeds. With proper care and attention, a Maltipoo can be a joyful and long-lived member of any household.
