Meaning and background
The story behind Maltipoo
Maltipoo is first a dog-type label: Merriam-Webster defines a cross between a Maltese and a poodle. Used as an individual dog's name, it can deliberately echo that familiar label, but the name itself does not establish the animal's parentage. The dictionary supports the cross-description only. A household choosing Maltipoo should therefore distinguish the chosen call name from any separate information about the dog's actual breeding.
