Which dog breed is right for you?
The Maltipoo is a popular designer crossbreed combining the Maltese and Toy or Miniature Poodle — first intentionally bred in the United States during the 1990s. These charming small dogs typically weigh 5 to 20 pounds and stand 8 to 14 inches tall, depending on the Poodle parent's size. Their coat is soft, wavy to curly, and comes in cream, white, apricot, red, and a range of other colors — often low-shedding thanks to the Poodle influence.
Maltipoos are affectionate, playful, and thrive on human companionship — making them excellent lap dogs and emotional support animals. They tend to be gentle with children and can coexist well with other pets when properly socialized. Their alert nature means they'll bark to announce visitors, though they're far too friendly to serve as guard dogs.

The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the oldest European breeds, with archaeological evidence dating its partnership with humans back over 6,000 years in Scandinavia. These medium-sized spitz-type dogs stand 19.5 to 20.5 inches tall and weigh 48 to 55 pounds, built for endurance in rugged terrain. Their dense, silver-gray double coat with black-tipped guard hairs and lighter undercoat provided vital insulation against harsh Nordic winters.
Norwegian Elkhounds are bold, independent, and deeply loyal — bred to track moose and hold them at bay while alerting hunters with their distinctive bark. They are affectionate and playful with family members, including children, and possess a dignified confidence around strangers. Their independent nature means they think for themselves, which can be both endearing and challenging during training.
