Smart Poodle Hybrid - Buddy

by Wanda Russell

My Maltese Poodle hybrid likes to dance on his hind legs. He loves kids and is very gentle with children especially with younger kids.

Buddy likes to go for long walks, and to play in the back yard with his ball. He likes to chase the cat who chases him too.

Buddy sleeps in a kennel by my bed and is basically house broken (has had a few accidents on the bathroom rug.) He sits, downs, and stays on command, working on come, walks on a loose leash, and like to play find-it games. He is a little shy around other dogs, especially larger ones, and will bark at people and then try to go home with them.

He is a little over a year old and is 12 inches tall and 12 pounds, and my husband and I wouldn't trade him for any other dog in the world.

Poodle Hybrid - Hurricane

by Michael
(Åbo, Finland)

My Maltese Poodle hybrid is a 7 months old fellow who is a real energy shot, thats why his name is Hurricane...

The only negative thing i can really say is that he has a very expensive taste in food, no ordinary poochie food will do, only the expensive and extraordinary is his pick.

Maltese Poodle Hybrid - Winston

by Carrie
(Tampa, Florida)

Winston is a constant source of entertainment! I swear my Maltese Poodle hybrid is OCD! He buries everything, he's not motivated by snacks or cookies, if given a treat, it winds up under my pillow or "hidden" somewhere in plain sight. If something he's hidden is found or moved, he can't rest until he hides it again.

I've just had to stop and realize that Winston runs the house, I just pay the bills. He's got to be the center of attention and reminds you with a simple whack of his paw that you forgot to pet him.

He's the pimp of the pool when he's riding his boogie board... Ladies and the Dudes Love him! It's a hoot to watch him run around the pool, jump on the board and coast out to the middle of the pool. Oh, and nothing's off limits in the water, my Maltese Poodle will jump right on your raft, he has no shame.

Ahhh... my morning wake up call. Best part of EVERY day. He wakes up... As soon as he makes eye contact with me it's GAME ON!! He starts by licking my whole face with quite a bit of passion for first thing in the morning, from there he makes his way down to my toes and finishes my wake up call by licking my toes for about 2 minutes. *I just thank my lucky stars that it's in that order if ya know what I mean.

Gosh there must be a million more things to say about how dorky and quirky my little man is. He makes me laugh non stop and I wouldn't have him any other way. He's Awesome! He is such a love bug, I'm so glad we're a family.

Poodle Hybrid - Sponge Bob

by Ruby
(Oil City, MI)

I love my Maltese Poodle hybrid dog. I got him a short time ago from a friend that has small children. They were abusing him so my friend asked if I wanted him. I said yes!

He is such a good dog. He is a mama's boy though. He goes outside easily. He doesn't move around in the bed. Once he lays down that's where you find him in the morning. He is very friendly but it takes him awhile to warm up to new people.

He does bark at strangers but just a quick knock it off or shhh loud does the trick. I love my Maltese Poodle mix a lot.

Poodle Hybrid - Roxie

by Sueann
(Clarksville, TN)

Hello, I have bought a Poodle hybrid from a person and honestly I have no clue what she is mixed with. I bought this dog from a friend and didn't have the papers.

My Roxie is white and fully loved. She hates being alone and follows me and my husband every where we go. She likes going on walks and loves people. But I look at all of these pictures of different Maltese Poodle hybrids and my Roxie looks like some of the pictures.

I love her to death... she is so smart... she dances and spins around. I had a friend that came to my house and thought that my dog was a Maltese but I had told her that she was mixed with a Poodle and some kind of terrier but I have no idea.

I am just clueless in what she is mixed with. Please help.....I don't have any pictures of her yet but will soon. Maybe someone who is reading this can help me.

Maltese Poodle Hybrid - Ruby

by Lisa
(Leduc, Alberta, Canada)

Our Maltese Poodle hybrid Ruby is the sweetest, most caring dog I have ever owned. She is highly intelligent and very friendly. She loves to cuddle and be held like a baby in my arms. She's four years old, but acts like a playful puppy.

We have socialized her by putting her in doggy daycare a couple of days a week and taking her on daily walks (weather permitting, we're way up north). We have to be very careful with her, as she unfortunately had to have a femoral head excision when she was nine months old. Her walks can't be too long, and she can't tolerate extremely cold temperatures. We're grateful that her surgery helped her as much as it did, and she's mobile enough to live a happy, active life. Ruby learned how to "clap her hands" when she was a tiny pup. She figured this trick out on her own, we did not teach her how to do it. She will sit up like a gopher, or stand up on her back legs and clap her front paws together when she wants something. It might be a cookie, she might want you to play with her, or she might want her brother (Lewis the cat) to chase her.

Ruby changed our lives when she came to live with us, she's such a precious baby and has given us more love and affection than we ever could have imagined from a pet. She is definitely a member of our family and is included in everything we do.

Poodle Hybrid - Duffy

by Cindy
(North Carolina)

I love my Maltese Poodle hybrid so much! She is so sweet and just the best little friend. She learns tricks so easily and when she turns her little head to the side I know she knows exactly what I am talking about!

She loves her squeaky toys the best and will squeak them for hours...and hours!! I can't imagine life without my Maltese Poodle.

Maltese Poodle Hybrid - Pinky

by Kim Moye
(Union, NJ)

My Maltese Poodle hybrid Pinky is precious!!! but loves to bite and chew, toes, arms, legs... My Pinky is 9 weeks old and loves attention.

She is very sociable and very attached to me. When I go outside she cries, when I go to the bathroom, she cries to get in!!!!

Very affectionate, very smart. At only 9 weeks she vigorously defends her territory and family against strangers...

Loving Maltese Poodle Hybrid - Libby

by Jan Thompson
(Friendswood, Texas)

Libby, our Maltese Poodle hybrid, just turned a year old on 3/6/09. She is such a sweet and loving girl. She loves belly rubs!

One of her favorite toys is an empty water bottle or soda bottle. Libby gives us hours of entertainment and even more love!

I've had many dogs in my life but she tops them all. I look into her dark brown eyes (almost black!) and fall more in love every day!

Maltese Poodle Hybrid - Dior

by Chelsea
(Playa Vista, California)

My name is Dior (Dior-pops aka Big Boy) and I will be 2 yrs old in December. I'm a Maltipoo, Maltese Poodle hybrid, and yes, very cute, as you can see.

I'm persistent, tenacious, and I have an I-can-do-anything attitude. I'm very smart and I have a very large vocabulary. I sit, roll, retrieve toys, get my leash, and go kiss my mommy in the morning when I am instructed to.

I like to wear bandannas, scarves, and little jackets, and my favorite toy is a pink bear. I am just adorable... but beauty is not important because my intellectual level exceeds that of most humans.

Maltese Poodle Hybrid - KIA

by Barbara
(Maple Grove,Mn.USA)

My KIA is a Maltese Poodle hybrid and is just one year old. I got her at 8 weeks. She's a doll. Very active and funny! So sweet. Every night when I go to bed, she's right there. Her routine is she 1st plays with my feet under the blankets.Then we cuddle and I rub her tummy.

When she smells something like perfumes etc, she starts kicking out her back legs!(like a bull does)LOL. Also if someone is around and smoking(which I don't do), she lifts up her lip- just one side! Like Elvis! She's a real character.
I love her to death!

Poodle Hybrid - Romeo and Juliet

by Becky
(El Paso Texas)

I have a male Maltipoo and a female Poodle hybrid. Romeo is 10 months about 8 lbs longer hair straight. Juliet is 7 months about 6 lbs hair more curly. They are both white and love outside get dirty a lot.

Loving very loving dogs, play w/all size of dogs very well. Juliet even though she is the smaller one she has no fear of big dogs Romeo more cautious. Romeo is more picky eater Juliet eat anything. Juliet is shorter Romeo is taller her nose is shorter his is longer. I am lucky my dogs don't have the tear staining. Rome is very loving but when he doesn't want to be loved on he won't come to you he-well both can be stubborn. Juliet loves to be loved all the time. She is lovable with everyone so is Romeo.

They don't have anyone special really. They do always want to be in the same room you are in and have many toys. I pick up more toys from them then the kids. Does anyone know how to train them to pick up after themselves?

Romeo likes to lick the paint off my walls need to learn how to stop that one too! Vet says he's ok go figure. Tried bitters,hot sauce even took a hot pepper rubbed were he licked he just got another spot.It just one wall when you walk in the house. People go oh your paint chipped i say no my dog licks the paint off. I know weird.

There isn't anything really special or different about them except that I am so glad they are in my life and I love them so much.They are such a joy to play with and love a big part of our family!
