Size & Lifespan

Fully grown, Maltipoo puppies typically mature into small adult dogs weighing between 5 and 20 pounds, depending on the size of the Poodle parent. With good nutrition, regular exercise, and routine veterinary care, this breed commonly enjoys a lifespan of 12 to 16 years.

Temperament & Trainability

Maltipoo temperament is widely recognized as friendly, alert, and eager to please, and Nico is no exception. He responds well to positive-reinforcement training, and short, consistent sessions paired with plenty of praise will help him build good habits quickly.
