do malteepoo puppies stay small forever like the teacup yorkies they dont grow big right?


It all depends on the size of the Sire/Dam

Of course you wouldn't have gotten to see either parent at the pet shop where you bought your puppymilled "designer dog"

The problem with a mutt/mongrel dog is nothing is certain:
Size/Temperament/Health etc.

The other point is there is NO SUCH THING AS A TEACUP anything!
They are simply a runt and a poor version of their breed!

What if your dog does grow big - would that even matter??

Surely you got the dog and have fallen in love with the personality
not the fact that it may fit into your handbag!
A dog is a friend for life and not a fashion accessory.

If you haven't already got this dog - Don't get one you are already coming across as superficial and not worthy to be the owner of ANY dog!

Neither a Maltipoo or Teacup Yorkie is a breed and neither has a breed standard. It is impossible to be able to tell you how big or small it will stay because it is a mutt/mixed breed.

Maybe in the fantasy land where "teacup" yorkies come from.

Well if forever you mean their lifespan of 3 or so years right? (For the "teacup" yorkie)

You are asking for the size of a mutt. It is impossible to tell because they are not a real breed and therefore do not have a standard.

Why not buy a hamster instead if you want something so small?

Thanks

Hey whats with the thumbs down? Im only trying to find out if anyone will answer the question as to what health tests the parents of these mutts they bought had. Yeah we all know none but I just want someone to say it! I was just trying to raise awareness of health tests! Or are all those thumbs down from mutt breeders?

Depends on the size of the parents and what type of poodle

maltipoo's are mutts so it is impossible to say what size they should be because there is no breed standard. It depends on the size of the maltese and the size of the poodle used to breed the puppy. Some malteses can be up to 14lbs and miniature poodles can be 20lbs. Also, "teacup" is a term used to describe an unhealthily small dog. Yorkies should be around 6-8 lbs.

Teacup yorkies do stay small but how small is too small? Yorkies are not supposed to EXCEED 7 pounds(according to the standard) but that doesn't mean that they should be 2 or 3 pounds. A good weight would be around 5-7 pounds and the responsible breeder would not call their pups toys, teacups or minis and would not breed them to be so small. If they are, they are just looking to make a lot of money off of someone who knows little.

As for the maltepoo, its a mutt. It'll be around the weight of a maltese and a toy poodle mix. It'll be probably around 6 or 7 pounds, the size what a Yorkie should be.

If your puppy was breed to two under-sized breeds then it to will be a very small dog for as long as it lives. There is no Tea-cup Yorkie just some some breeders who should be charged with fraud!

Avoiding the hype. Have you heard these phrases? Teacup Yorkies? Tiny Toy Yorkies? Extreme Tinies? Some breeders use these cutesy phrases as "marketing terms" for the different weights that Yorkies come in. All of these phrases are made-up. Yes, certainly, Yorkies come in different weights, but they do NOT come in different weight "varieties". Whether they weigh 4 pounds or 6 pounds or 8 pounds, they are called, simply, Yorkshire Terriers. Some are simply smaller or larger than others. The larger individuals are sturdier, so don't dismiss them as good pets.

In fact, I do NOT recommend a Yorkshire Terrier under 4 pounds. These individuals are great risks in the health department. Their bones are extremely fragile. There is not enough room in their mouth for healthy teeth. Their internal organs are often weak and can fail suddenly. They tend to have great difficulty regulating their blood sugar and can suddenly fall into hypoglycemic comas.

Responsible Yorkshire Terrier breeders never try to produce these tiny high-risk creatures. If a tiny one pops up in one of their litters, they do their best to find the best home that can keep it alive, yes, but they try hard NOT to produce them in the first place because it's not fair to the poor little creature.

On the other hand, some breeders deliberately breed tiny high-risk Yorkies because they can sell them for high prices to unsuspecting owners, or to owners who selfishly demand that they "want" one because it's "adorable" or to satisfy their "mothering" instincts. Don't be one of these people. If you reward these irresponsible breeders by giving them your money, you are encouraging them to keep producing tiny, sickly, short-lived creatures. No, be a responsible buyer and stick with Yorkshire Terriers who will mature at 4 pounds and up, who have the best chance of living a normal healthy life. In this way, breeders will be motivated to produce these sizes. (These individuals, by the way, will weigh at least 2-3 pounds at 10-12 weeks old.)

Number 2; a Maltipoo is not a purebred dog, it is mix between a Maltese x poodle which is bred by irresponsible breeder such as puppy mills/backyard breeders for one reason PROFIT. They breed dogs with aggression-which makes the puppies aggressive, also they bred dogs with behaviour problems and genetic faults.
The only way to avoid the temperment issues in this mix is to adopt from a shelter/pound-they are thoroughly temperment tested before putting up for adoption.if they don't pass the temperment test they are euthanised. There is no size standard of a Poodle x Maltese=Most likely they either be a minature poodle x maltese. or maltese x toy poodle. However some people with breed standard poodle female x male maltese.

Let's start out by saying "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "TEACUP" PUPPY".

With that in mind, let me say this; It seems as though there is a plethora of people who are insistent on buying tiny puppies in the 2 to 4 pound range. Also commonly referred to as a "Teacup puppy".

The word "Teacup" has been used to merely describe the size of a puppy, meaning it is very small and will probably be under the standard size which is 4 to 7 pounds for the Toy Group, Yorkshire Terrier breed. We cannot imagine anyone wanting anything smaller than that! Their bones are VERY fragile and can be broken by jumping off of a coach, falling off of a bed, being stepped on or worse.

Many breeders, while tacking a whooping price on a puppy, "claim" to breed so called "teacups" as if they were a breed all their own. Don't be fooled! They are NOT a breed of their own.

If a breeder says they specialize in "teacups" RUN, RUN, RUN for the hills! Most "TEACUP" puppies are in reality, a premature puppy.

Most females are bred on the ninth through the fifteenth day of their heat cycles. Eggs can be fertilized for up to 72 hours after any of these breeding's. Therefore, it is possible to have puppies conceived up to a week or so younger than the puppies first conceived in a litter. However, when the first puppies conceived are mature and ready to be born, labor starts and all the puppies will be born, no matter when they were fertilized.

Some of the problems that may be encountered are both genetic and congenital in these tiny babies and the list is a long one.

The risk of open fontanels (soft spot from the cranial bone not forming), portosystemic shunts (PSS- abnormal vessel that allows blood to bypass the liver. As a result the blood is not cleansed by one of the bodies filters: the liver.), hypoglycemia, cardiac problems, collapsing trachea, luxating patellas, Leggs Calves Perthes disease, seizures, hydroencephaly, blindness and digestive problems can be increased in these tiny babies.

Problems such as respiratory problems can remain or worsen throughout their lives. These babies frequently are so fragile that they do not live more than a few years. There have been several tiny Yorkies as adults who still had open fontanels and their owners had to carry nourishment with them all the time. Their vets have felt it unsafe to give a full dose of vaccine so the puppies had to get several injections to be on the safe side.

There is no such thing as a "tea cup" Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Poodle, or any other breed for that matter. They simply do not exist. "Tea-cup" is just a marketing ploy given by unethical and unscrupulous breeders to drive up the price of their puppies!

So called "Teacups" fetch anything from $1000 to $10,000! This is ridiculous and shameful! There are a lot of chronically, unhealthy puppies because unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills are inbreeding. Some poor darlings only live for a very, very short time!

They take the little teeny, tiny Yorkies and they breed 2 1/2 pounders with 3 pounders … well, they’re playing with genetics. You should NEVER breed a female of any breed less than 5 pounds.

PLEASE educate yourselves before buying a tiny puppy whether it is a Yorkie or any other breed. You could be in for months or years of heartbreak not to mention staggering veterinarian bills!

DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! IF YOU WANT A HEALTHY PUPPY, DON'T FALL FOR THE TEACUP ACT!

For starters, there is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie. It's a marketing term used by unethical breeders to describe dogs that they have bred to be extremely small–something no reputable Yorkie breeder would EVER do.
Secondly, "Maltipoo" is a cute name given to a mutt. Their size, like all other characteristics, are not something that can be predicted. They are a combination of two breeds and you never know which traits they are going to inherit from which parent/gene pool.

a malteepoo is a mixed breed. Teacup yorkies are runts (undersized yorkies that would be culled from a breeding program by a reputable breeder)

That said:

a Maltese bred to a toy Poodle?
" " " miniature Poodle?
" " " standard Poodle?

get the drift?

One more time, there is NO such as a Malteepoo or Teacup Yorkie. They are poorly bred runts, bred my unreputable backyard breeders only looking to make a buck off of suckers. Most do not live more than a few years.
