They do well in apartments but love their time outdoors. Maltipoos shed very little, and–like poodles–don’t stir up animal-dander allergies. Their long coats need to be brushed regularly, or they may mat. Bring your puppy home in its kennel crate. Set the crate on the floor and let your maltipoo come out and investigate its new home at its own pace.
