Looking for a tiny dog with a big personality? Meet the Maltipom , a cross between the Maltese and the Pomeranian.

This hybrid dog breed combines the playful charm of both parent breeds into a compact, fluffy companion that’s perfect for dog lovers and apartment dwellers alike—and may suit some allergy sufferers if it inherits the Maltese’s low-shedding coat.

What Is a Maltipom?

The Maltipom, also known as the Maltese Pomeranian mix, is a small breed dog intentionally bred from two toy-sized stars: the Maltese and the Pomeranian. This designer dog is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club and the International Designer Canine Registry.

Maltipoms often inherit coat traits from both parents, such as the Maltese’s long, silky coat and the Pomeranian’s thick, fluffy fur.
