The Maltese is a toy dog named for the island of Malta, where it was probably developed nearly 3,000 years ago. This breed is an ancient one and has had its history written on the backs of several civilizations during the period when this breed was developed. With its long, flowing silky white coat and ability to be carried around in a purse, this breed is a favorite among city people because it not only integrates very well into family life, and above all children, but they remain reticent and slightly cautious around others.

Maltipoo

The Maltipoo is a hybrid breed made by crossing the Maltese and the Miniature or Toy Poodle. Maltipoos were bred with a view to interhaling into one the softness and expression of the Maltese and intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities of a Poodle. Owing to these characteristics, they are primarily popular in urban settings, giving them even more appeal because of their small size and gentle demeanor. Maltipoos are playful and likely sociable with children and other pets, making the finest companions. Their variety of coat types and low-shedding qualities set them apart as ideal pets for allergy sufferers.
