Overall, Maltipoos have a small stature however there is size variation depending on whether the Maltese was bred with a Teacup, Toy, Miniature or Standard Poodle. They come in many coat colors including black, white, red, apricot, black & white, chocolate, cream and grey however white and cream are the most common. Maltipoos usually have dark brown or black eyes and dark brown or black noses.

A Standard Full Grown Maltipoos is 12 to 15 inches (30.5cm to 38.1cm) tall at the shoulder and weighs between 15 and 25 pounds (6.8kg to 11.3kg).
