4 months
- A male now has live sperm and is able to mate...however if you are planning on breeding, it is strongly recommend to wait until your male is at least 9 months old.
5 to 6 months
- This is the teething age ! This is a frustrating stage for both owner and Maltipoo puppy...The puppy will have very strong urges to explore and they do so by chewing...at the same time they will have sore gums which causes them to want to chew even more. However, we have excellent
teething
advice to help both of you get through this stage.
6 months to 1 year
- It is during this time that a female will generally enter her first heat. It is strongly recommended to have your female spayed, if you will not be breeding her. Doing so will greatly reduce the possibility of certain cancers and infections.
1 year old
- This is now the age when your puppy is considered to be an adult. (With larger dogs, they become an adult at the age of 2). If you are feeding your puppy manufactured dog food, your Maltipoo can be switched over to a high quality adult dog food...or you can continue with home cooking.
