Maltipoo Puppies for sale in Franklin, North Carolina

The Maltipoo is a beloved designer breed created by crossing a Maltese with a Toy Poodle. Known for being gentle, affectionate, and hypoallergenic, this playful companion thrives on human interaction and brings endless energy and love to any home. The Maltipoo was likely first bred in the United States during the 1980s or 90s, when breeders sought to combine the Maltese’s loving temperament with the Poodle’s intelligence and low-shedding coat. Although not recognized by the American Kennel Club, the breed is registered by smaller hybrid dog associations such as the American Canine Hybrid Club.

With its soft, curly coat—usually white or cream—and bright, expressive eyes, the Maltipoo is as adorable as it is friendly. These dogs are intelligent, social, and eager to please, making them easy to train and wonderful with children and other pets. They need daily walks and mental stimulation but are just as happy relaxing beside their owners. Minimal shedding and easy grooming make them a popular choice for allergy sufferers. Loyal, cuddly, and full of joy, the Maltipoo is a perfect fit for families, singles, and seniors alike.
