My Dogs and Past Puppy Stars
MALTEPOOS aka MALTESE/MINIATURE POODLE HYBRIDS:
There are many spellings of the breed name for this adorable little dog which include: Maltepoo, Maltipoo, Maltapoo, Moodles, Malt-oodles, etc. The deliberate cross breeding of the Maltese and Miniature Poodle creates a wonderful new hybrid known as the Maltepoo.
This hybrid produces puppies that naturally exhibit behavioral characteristics similar to the parent breeds. This generally results in a dog that is playful and very energetic. Maltepoos are gentle, extremely intelligent, eager to please, easily trainable, and very loyal to their human families. The Maltepoo is a natural family dog and tend to love everyone they meet. They are also great with kids yet are an excellent choice for a retired person.
Maltepoos can be found in a variety of colors. Their coat is soft and fluffy with a slight wave to curl. Because they are a cross, the coat can have different textures according to which dominant gene the puppy draws. Maltepoos are considered non-shedding and hypoallergenic and tend to be a good choice for individuals with allergies.
Maltepoos generally weigh 8-12 lbs full grown. Our puppies are true 1st generation Maltepoos bred from purebred, genetically sound, healthy Miniature Poodles and Maltese. Our Miniature Poodles and Maltese are all excellent examples of their particular breed and have all had successful show careers therefore our quality and consistency shows.
A hybrid dog such as a Maltepoo cannot be registered with the AKC, UKC, CKC, or other popular registries. There are "designer" or "hybrid" registries but we choose to not use their services due to their lack of verification required to register a dog with them. The paperwork required to register a dog with these registries is very minimal to even non-existent! Our Maltepoos have purebred parents of their breed. The mixes from purebred parents of different breeds has become very popular due to the outstanding health of the puppies if they are bred from healthy lines in the first place. Hybrid Vigor is a term that is used when you breed two purebreds of different breeds, the offspring are exceptionally healthy and first generation offspring from two purebred parents of different breeds don't carry the genetic problems common to that particular breed. Any genetic problems would start showing up in 2nd generation and beyond or if the original parents are mixes themselves.

Kack's Lily of the Valley
Kack's Lily of the Valley is very quiet and calm. She is also a little bit shy, but very sweet indeed! She has definitely become a "Momma's girl" and is always found at my feet. She bounces around the yard like a gazelle and her movement is beautiful to watch.
