About the Maltipoo
The Maltipoo is a Maltese and Toy Poodle cross beloved for its low-shedding fleece coat and gentle nature. It is one of Singapore’s most-requested designer breeds, especially for allergy-prone homes.
Where the Maltipoo comes from. A modern designer cross of the Maltese and Toy Poodle, the Maltipoo was bred for a low-shedding coat and a gentle, companionable nature.
In temperament, expect a dog that is gentle, affectionate, playful and people-focused. It suits allergy-prone and first-time owners who want a soft, affectionate, low-shedding companion for a flat. That heritage still shows: at 3–6 kg with medium energy, the Maltipoo sits between the working and companion extremes — it needs a real daily outing, but not a job.

Colours and coat variants of the Maltipoo
Across Singapore litters the Maltipoo most often appears in White & Apricot, Cream, Apricot, White, Red and Chocolate. Rarer colours in a litter are priced toward the top of the $3,288–$5,988 range and common ones toward the bottom. Whichever colour you choose, this is a high-maintenance coat: the grooming schedule is set by the coat type, not the shade. If you want a specific colour, say so in your first WhatsApp message and we will tell you honestly whether one is in a current litter.'
Can you keep a Maltipoo in an HDB flat?
The Maltipoo is HDB-approved. As a small cross of two approved breeds (Maltese and Toy Poodle), it can be kept in an HDB flat with a valid dog licence. In short: the Maltipoo is on HDB's approved list, and at 3–6 kg it sits inside the size criteria, so a flat is a straightforward yes — you still license the dog annually and keep to one dog per flat. The full rules, the approved list and the fines live on our HDB-approved dogs page.
Living with a Maltipoo in Singapore
The climate reality
The wavy coat mats quickly in humidity; a 4–6 week groom keeps it soft and comfortable.
Health to know about
Inherits toy-breed concerns: patellar luxation, dental crowding, and progressive retinal atrophy from the poodle side. Keep knees, teeth and eyes monitored.
Every puppy follows Singapore's core vaccination schedule (weeks 6, 8 and 12, with deworming at each visit) and comes home around week 9. See the full puppy vaccination schedule.
Grooming, care and exercise
Coat and grooming
The Maltipoo has a low-shedding, allergy-friendlier coat with high grooming needs. It needs regular brushing and a professional groom roughly every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent matting, which humidity speeds up.
Exercise and energy
The Maltipoo needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Maltipoo will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
For the first weeks at home, our puppy training guide covers crate, potty and settling routines that suit a Singapore flat.
The honest downsides of a Maltipoo
No breed is perfect, and glossing over the hard parts is how puppies end up rehomed. These are the trade-offs Maltipoo owners actually report — read them before you fall for the photos, and ask us about any of them on WhatsApp.
- The fleece coat mats fast in humidity — skipping the 4-to-6-week groom shows within days.
- Bred for company: separation anxiety and protest barking are the breed’s most common complaints.
- An alert (sometimes yappy) doorbell response that needs early training in close-quarters living.
- HDB status is a grey area — a cross of two approved breeds, but not itself on the pure-breed list.
- Toy-breed watchpoints: slipping kneecaps, crowded teeth and inherited eye conditions.

Cost of owning a Maltipoo in Singapore
Beyond the purchase price, budget for the monthly reality of a Maltipoo: around S$40 to S$80 a month on quality food for a toy dog, professional grooming every 4 to 8 weeks, often S$50 to S$100 a session for this coat, plus the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet visits, and preventive care such as deworming and parasite control. Many owners also take out pet insurance, which can run a few hundred dollars a year. A Maltipoo typically lives 12–16 years. Over that span the high-grooming coat is the line item that varies most between owners, so it is the number worth pricing honestly before you commit.

How to buy a Maltipoo ethically in Singapore
"Who is an ethical Maltipoo breeder, and who should I avoid?" is the most asked question in Singapore's dog communities, and it has a checkable answer rather than a rumour-based one. Singapore has plenty of unlicensed and backyard sellers, a Maltipoo is a 10-plus-year commitment, and three checks protect you from the wrong source.
1. Verify the licence
Only buy from an AVS-licensed seller and check the number yourself on the AVS registry. Ours is BR25052.
2. See the puppy and papers
Meet the Maltipoo in person, and ask for its health certification, vaccination booklet and ancestry records before you commit.
3. Be wary of bargains
A Maltipoo priced far below the $3,288–$5,988 range, or a seller who rushes you, is a red flag for an unlicensed or unhealthy source.
Flexible on breed and age? Adoption is the most ethical route of all; our honest adopt-or-buy guide explains what adoption in Singapore actually offers.

Maltipoo questions, answered
Is a Maltipoo HDB-approved?
It is a grey area. A Maltipoo is a cross of two HDB-approved breeds (Maltese and Toy Poodle) and is small enough for flats, but as a mixed breed it is not itself named on HDB’s pure-breed list, so it is worth confirming your specific case with HDB.
Do Maltipoos shed?
Very little. The poodle influence gives most Maltipoos a low-shedding fleece coat, which is why they are popular with allergy-prone families, though they need regular grooming to prevent matting.
How much is a Maltipoo puppy in Singapore?
An AVS-licensed, vaccinated Maltipoo from Puppy Singapore is priced within $3,288–$5,988, including vet check, vaccinations to date, health certification and ancestry records.
How much exercise does a Maltipoo need?
The Maltipoo needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Maltipoo will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
Are Maltipoos good with children and families?
Maltipoos can be lovely family dogs, but their tiny size means they are best with gentle, older children who will not handle them roughly; always supervise play with toddlers.
How much does it cost to own a Maltipoo in Singapore?
Beyond the Maltipoo's purchase price of $3,288–$5,988, expect roughly S$40 to S$80 a month on food, plus grooming, the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet care, and optional pet insurance. Grooming is the swing factor: high-grooming coats cost more to maintain.
How big does a Maltipoo get?
The Maltipoo is a toy breed, weighing about 3–6 kg fully grown. That size is within HDB’s approved range, so it suits a flat.
How do I find a responsible Maltipoo breeder in Singapore?
Insist on an AVS-licensed seller whose licence you can verify on the government registry, ask to see the puppy in person and its health and vaccination records, and be wary of unusually cheap Maltipoo listings or sellers who rush you past the paperwork. Puppy Singapore is licensed under BR25052 and shows you exactly where to check it.
How long do Maltipoos live?
A Maltipoo typically lives 12–16 years. For this breed the levers that matter most are keeping it lean and limiting repeated jumping, which protects the joints this breed is screened for.
What is a common problem with Maltipoo?
Separation anxiety is the complaint owners raise most: a Maltipoo bonds intensely and can bark or fret when left alone all day. Physically, the wavy coat mats quickly in Singapore’s humidity without a groom every 4 to 6 weeks, and toy-breed knees, teeth and eyes need routine checks.
Is a Maltipoo a good dog?
For flat living, one of the best fits in Singapore: small, gentle, low-shedding and genuinely affectionate. It suits allergy-prone and first-time owners, provided someone is home often — this is a companion cross that measures its day by how much of it is spent with you.
Is a Maltipoo a yappy dog?
It can be. Maltipoos are alert little dogs that announce doorbells and corridor footsteps, and boredom or anxiety turns that into a habit. Early training, enough play, and not leaving it alone for long stretches keep most Maltipoos reasonably quiet for close-quarters flat living.
Is Maltipoo a high maintenance dog?
Moderately. The fleece coat is the main workload — brushing at home plus a professional groom every 4 to 6 weeks. Exercise needs are light for a flat. The real demand is emotional: it wants company, so households out all day will find it harder work than expected.
