Ever wish a dog could be smart, affectionate, hypoallergenic, and fit snugly in your lap like a warm croissant? Meet the Maltipoo, a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle, and quite possibly the universe’s most lovable mistake (if you believe in happy accidents).
With their curly coats, puppy-dog eyes, and emotional IQs that rival your favorite therapist, Maltipoos have stolen the hearts of dog lovers everywhere. They’re cheerful, clever, and tiny enough to come with you wherever life takes you, whether that’s a hike through the woods or a coffee shop patio downtown.
But not all Maltipoos are created equal. Some are bred without much consideration beyond their appearance or popularity. At Habibi Bears, we saw the potential in the Maltipoo and decided to raise the bar on health, temperament, and the human-dog bond. Enter: the Habibi Bear Maltipoo.
Let’s Talk Maltipoo Basics
The Maltipoo is a hybrid breed that combines the best qualities of the Poodle and the Maltese. Think of a low-shedding coat paired with a lovable lapdog that has brains to spare.
Origin Story (A.K.A. Love at First Bark)
Poodles are known for their intelligence and hypoallergenic curls. Maltese dogs are famous for their gentle disposition and companionship. Together, they make the Maltipoo: an affectionate, fun-loving breed that is perfect for just about any household.
Whether you live in an apartment, a farmhouse, or a houseboat (no judgment), a Maltipoo can adapt. They’re lightweight, social, and love nothing more than being near their people, preferably while also being the center of attention.
Temperament: Cuteness with a Brain
Maltipoos are equal parts social butterfly and cuddle bug. They love to play and engage, but are just as content to curl up next to you while you binge your favorite show. Their emotional intelligence is one of their standout traits; these dogs just get you.
And while their small size might make them seem dainty, they’re tough cookies. Maltipoos are sturdy enough to romp with kids, nimble enough for agility training, and clever enough to open treat jars when you’re not looking (we warned you).
Why the Habibi Bear Maltipoo is Different
We’re not just riding the designer dog wave here. At Habibi Bears, we’ve reimagined the Maltipoo as a purpose-bred companion: emotionally tuned, genetically sound, and raised with the Habibi method that sets them up for success from the moment they open their eyes.
Purpose Over Popularity
Many Maltipoo breeders focus on what’s trendy. We focus on what’s transformative. By intentionally studying and improving the lineage of our parent dogs, we’ve created a version of the Maltipoo that’s not just adorable but also healthier and more emotionally balanced.
Every Habibi Bear Maltipoo is bred with:
- Health-tested genetics
- Early emotional bonding
- Holistic nutrition
- Enrichment-based natural rearing
- Exposure to real-life environments and routines through socialization
This isn’t just a puppy—it’s your future heart dog.
Healthier Maltipoos, Happier Homes
Let’s talk health. Designer dogs sometimes suffer from genetic issues when bred carelessly. That’s why we put so much thought into every pairing.
Our parent dogs undergo a comprehensive panel of health screenings to help prevent the transmission of common conditions. We also use a blend of companion breeds to support genetic diversity while preserving that classic Maltipoo look and personality.
The result? A Maltipoo puppy with fewer health risks, a more resilient immune system, and a disposition that’s a dream to live with.
