Maltipom
Toy · 3–9 lbs
Maltese
Gentle · low-shedding · affectionate
Pomeranian
Bold · lively · devoted
The Maltipom combines the Maltese — one of the oldest lapdog breeds in the world with over 2,000 years of Mediterranean history — with the Pomeranian, a miniaturized Nordic sled dog refined into a fashionable companion by European royalty. The cross emerged in North America during the 1990s and 2000s, producing a tiny, fluffy companion from two breeds with long histories as devoted human companions.
The Maltipom is a lively, devoted toy dog scoring 78–93/100 in friendliness with minimal exercise needs and relatively low shedding (15–55/100 depending on coat type) — a great fit for apartment living. Vocal tendencies (55–80/100 barking) and a need for regular grooming are the main trade-offs with this charming little companion.
Coat can be silky Maltese or fluffy Pom — shedding and grooming needs differ significantly between litters.

Maltipom Buyer's Guide
Common questions answered before you buy
A Maltipom is a cross between a Maltese (Gentle · low-shedding · affectionate) and a Pomeranian (Bold · lively · devoted). The goal of this cross is to combine the best traits of both parents — but it's important to understand that results vary significantly from puppy to puppy, even within the same litter.
No dog is truly hypoallergenic — all dogs produce dander, saliva, and urine proteins that trigger allergies. However, the Maltipom is a coin-flip. Coat can be silky Maltese or fluffy Pom — shedding and grooming needs differ significantly between litters. Puppies with curlier, Poodle-dominant coats tend to shed less. Puppies with wavy or straight coats may shed noticeably. There is no guarantee until the adult coat comes in around 12–18 months. If you're buying for allergy reasons, request an F1B litter which is more consistently low-shed.
Maltipoms typically weigh between 3–9 lbs. However, size can vary significantly depending on which parent the puppy takes after and the generation (F1, F1B, etc.). A smaller parent — particularly if one parent is a Miniature or Toy variant — will produce smaller offspring. Always ask breeders about the parent sizes, not just the breed average.
With consistent effort, yes. The Maltipom has trainability scores ranging from 60–78/100. Some puppies will pick things up quickly; others — especially those inheriting more stubbornness from one parent — will need more patience. Positive reinforcement and short, engaging training sessions work best.
The Maltipom typically lives 12–16 years. Hybrid dogs often benefit from "hybrid vigour" — a tendency for mixed breeds to be healthier than either purebred parent. However, they can still inherit health conditions from either parent line. Ask breeders about health testing on both parents (hips, eyes, heart, depending on the parent breeds), and schedule annual vet check-ups throughout your dog's life.
Yes — the Maltipom is generally apartment-adaptable as long as their exercise needs are met. Daily walks and interactive play sessions (around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily) are sufficient to keep them calm indoors. Mental stimulation — puzzle toys, training sessions — is equally important for this intelligent cross.
