| I have one and so does my mil, and a good friend. First off, you are really never sure what you are going to get as far as coat. Mine has more of a wavy-ish coat. She has a huge overbite and is rather homely. She is utterly devoted to me, and is a one-owner dog. She does not like my husband or any other man that comes in the house. Grooming is rather easy, as she never mats really, but on the down side, no matter how much she is brushed or bathed, she doesn't really look any better than when she started. My mother in laws dog has grey loose curls. She matts easily. She is "cuter" than my dog in the sense that she doesn't have a huge overbite, lol. She has the same exact temperment though. She only likes my mil, and is rather protective. My good friends is probably the cutest one. She has tight little curls and is less linky...more compact little dog. She is high maintenance grooming totally, but looks totally cute when she is dolled up. She also shares the same exact personality as mine and my mil's dog. She doesn't like my friends husband and is stuck to my friend all the time, constantly underfoot. They all bark I would say less than a lot of yorkies, but are very watch-dogish. They still bark a moderate amount. They all are rather intelligent though.

| Also, I forgot to add that they get the reverse sneezes terrible whenever they drink water or get over excited. They also grunt and snort a lot, which I thought was odd for a long snouted dog. Mine is the worst. People think that she is growling when they pet her, but she grunts and groans everytime she is content, much like a cat purrs. Please no flames for saying my dog is homely. She really is, but I love her no less. Plus she thinks she's beautiful.

My furkids Donating Member | My parents have a maltipoo...She is just 1 yrs old. She is white and apricot...Her coat is very very thick and wavy...she matts very quickly. She would look like a little walking afro if my Mom didn't clip her. Callie is the cutest little thing. She weighs 10 lbs but, and is a little devil!! let me tell you...she gets into EVERYTHING!!! She will actually look for trouble...chewing my Moms rugs...chewed my Dads shoes...anything she can get into her mouth consider it ruined! She digs at the furniture, pushes the pillows off of the couch and will look up at my Mom to see if she is watching her! She is a little bugger!! My parents have brought her for training but, this one just has a mind of her own! They have always had dogs and had no problem training them but this one is a holy terror!!
