Welcome to Michigan Puppy! We’re a family of seven raising puppies in central Michigan for our wonderful puppy parents in the communities of Michigan. We raise lovely puppies from the best parents and socialize our puppies every day. We raise MaltiPoos, Morkies, and Shichons. We love these breeds because of their size, low/no shedding and wonderful personalities. If you are interested in just Malti-poos click here.
If you clicked on this post you probably clicked on it for one of two reasons. Number one, you want to get a Malt-poo but you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, or, number two, you have bought a Malti-poo and you just want to know some more information about them. Well, good news my friend I will try to answer each question you may have.
Today I will also give you some puppy training tips so you don’t have to worry about him tearing up your furniture, and I will also tell you the secret ingredient in most dog foods that is extremely unhealthy for dogs. (Hint: It’s actually something that you wouldn’t expect and it starts with a C). These furry little animals can’t even digest it!
Some of you may be thinking “why do I need to know the history of the Malti-poo, and how does this effect weather I buy it or not”. And you’d be right but give me a break guys.
The Malti-poo is a very popular dog breed among wealthy people because of its small size. The Malti-poo is a mixture of the poodle and the Maltese and their are three different types of poodles: standard miniature and toy, the Malti-poo utilizes the toy version of a poodle.
Since the Malti-poo includes both the Maltese and the poodle I will talk about each breed separately.
The poodle breed has some debate surrounding it, but is thought to have originated in Germany and was originally bred as a hunting dog. The poodle became so popular in France that it became the national breed.
The first mention of the Maltese dates back to 500 B.C. Even the Greeks and Romans have mentioned the Maltese dog breed.
It’s a common question, but the truth is, any dog can make a wonderful family companion when properly socialized and accustomed to being around children. Even breeds like German Shepherds, which were bred as working dogs, can thrive in a family setting with the right training and care. At Michigan Puppy, we socialize every puppy every day. They are handled and loved by kids every single day to make sure every puppy grows up comfortable and well-adjusted, making them a perfect fit for families with children. You can rest assured that your new furry family member is already familiar with being around little ones!
If you are looking for a dog that will live a long time the Malti-poo is the one for you. The Malti-poo usually lives 10 to 15 years! Malti-poos mature quickly and, are usually considered an adult at around one year old. MaltiPoos usually grow out of their puppy chewing stage quickly leaving you more slippers intact. ????
The best thing about MaltiPoos is that they keep their puppy-like appearance even as adults. They stay adorable for years to come!
Malti-poos love to play and can be little balls of energy that love playing games with active children. They’re also great at snuggling and are very affectionate. They love sitting beside you on the couch!
A Malti-poo usually grows to 7-14 pounds and be 8-12 inches but it all depends on the size of the parents. You want to make sure you choose the right dog for your lifestyle. If you have an apartment I would recommend a Malti-poo because they are small, but if you live on a farm I would probably a German Shepherd or a Malti-poo because if you have a Malti-poo you have a better shot at catching it.
A little while ago I said I would tell the one ingredient that dogs can’t digest and that ingredient is corn. Kind of surprising isn’t it. Honestly it’s hard to say whether corn is bad because there is so much back and forth about it on the internet.
Some say that it’s not good because it lacks nutritional value and if it is mentioned pretty quickly in the list of ingredients then their may not be enough nutritional value in the dog food.
But the one thing that is 100% accurate is that corn is not able to be digested by animals and the only way it is is if they process it and when you process something, that’s not necessarily healthy for a dog.
Some of you may not like this idea because it might be a little violent, but trust me I’ve tried it and it works. Ok, so we’ve all been in this situation you come from a long day’s work and you find your furniture, that you paid top dollar for, ripped to shreds. You immediately know the culprit, and let’s be honest your furious, but don’t despair my friend I have the solution.
Take some hot sauce, put it on the corner that nobody will see and now all you have to do is wait. The next time your dog tries to chew your couch he will be alerted by the smell of the hot sauce on the sofa and he will never chew on that again.
