[quote=Anonymous]I have two maltipoos. They are incredibly agile, easy to train, and eager to please. They are smart and crave the mental stimulation. They seem to love learning new tasks and tricks.

I have not had any health issues with my pets whatsoever. I feed them twice a day but they are not voracious eaters and I often just leave the food out and let them eat it when they feel like it. All of my previous dogs devoured their food as soon as it was put out so this is new to me.

I do think that it is different to have a toy-sized dog. For one thing, they get cold very easily and shiver with normal AC. I also think that their tininess affects the way they see the world-or maybe themselves in the world. Both of mine are wonderful at home, absolute love bugs and lapdogs. But they are extremely wary of new people and dogs. One is terrified of everything at first but warms up to people quickly. The other is very suspicious of new humans, and is hard to win over, but likes any dog upto 30 pounds and also enjoy calm larger dogs. They A LOT in a defensive manner. I have raised a lot of dogs since puppyhood and have never had these issues before.

I love my dogs to death but I do think my 20lbers were easier. [/quote]
