The Maltipom is a small, affectionate cross between the Maltese and Pomeranian, typically lively, intelligent and sociable, making it a lovely companion for singles, couples and families. Usually compact in size, they adapt well to flats but enjoy daily walks, play and mental stimulation to prevent boredom; some can be vocal and prone to separation anxiety without enough company. Prospective owners should consider regular grooming for their often fluffy coat, routine dental care, consistent training and early socialisation, and choose a reputable breeder or rescue to avoid health issues.
