View Available Puppies Contact UsMaltipoo Puppy Availability & Reservations
Do you currently have Maltipoo puppies available?
Yes. Our current available puppies are listed on our Available Puppies page. Availability can change as families complete reservations, so we recommend checking the page and contacting us about the specific puppy you are interested in.
When will the current puppies be ready?
Our current litter is expected to be ready to join new families in approximately one week. Individual puppy readiness is confirmed before final pickup or delivery arrangements are made.
Can I reserve a puppy before it is ready?
Yes. Families interested in personal pickup can reserve an available puppy before the puppy is ready to leave our care. A $500 reservation deposit is used under the applicable reservation terms to hold the selected puppy for pickup.
Does submitting an inquiry automatically reserve a puppy?
No. Submitting a contact form does not automatically place a puppy on hold. Availability must first be confirmed, and the applicable reservation process must be completed.
Do you provide a reservation document?
Yes. Families reserving a puppy for future personal pickup receive the applicable reservation document to review before completing the reservation.
What happens after I reserve a puppy?
Your selected puppy remains in our care until it is ready to leave. We continue the puppy's normal care, handling, socialization and preparation before confirming your pickup arrangements.
Maltipoo Puppy Pricing
How much are your Maltipoo puppies?
Our current Maltipoo puppies are generally priced between $1,200 and $1,300, depending on the individual puppy, size category and other applicable factors. The exact price is shown on each available puppy profile.
Is the $500 reservation deposit an additional charge?
The exact treatment of the reservation deposit should be understood from the reservation document provided for your puppy. Families should review the document before making payment so they understand how the deposit applies to the transaction.
Is delivery included in the puppy price?
No. Delivery is separate from the puppy fee. Crate delivery starts from $150, ground delivery starts from $400 and flight nanny delivery starts from $700. Final transportation cost depends on destination and travel arrangements.
Maltipoo Puppy Pickup & Delivery
Can I personally pick up my puppy?
Yes. Families are welcome to personally pick up their Maltipoo after the puppy has been confirmed ready. Pickup itself does not have a transportation fee and is arranged by appointment.
What delivery options do you offer?
Depending on destination and availability, we offer crate delivery, ground delivery and flight nanny delivery. Visit our Delivery & Pick Up page for full details.
How much does puppy delivery cost?
Crate delivery starts from $150, ground delivery starts from $400 and flight nanny delivery starts from $700. Final pricing depends on destination, distance and available arrangements.
What happens if I choose delivery?
Families purchasing a puppy for delivery receive the applicable sales contract. The puppy fee and agreed delivery cost are completed according to the transaction terms, and transportation is arranged for when the puppy is ready to leave our care.
Do I need to wait until the puppy is ready before arranging travel?
Yes. We recommend waiting for final confirmation before making non-refundable travel plans. Puppy readiness will be stated on the website and confirmed directly with the family.
Maltipoo Puppy Health & Health Guarantee
Do your puppies come with a health guarantee?
Yes. Little Clouds Maltipoos provides an applicable 2-year health guarantee according to the terms of the puppy's written agreement. You can read more on our Health Guarantee page.
Are vaccinations up to date?
Our puppy profiles indicate that age-appropriate vaccinations are kept up to date before the puppy goes home. Families receive the applicable health and vaccination information for their individual puppy.
Are the puppies dewormed?
Age-appropriate deworming information is provided when applicable. The exact veterinary care completed for your puppy will be reflected in the puppy's available records.
Should I still take my puppy to a veterinarian?
Yes. Every new puppy should be established with a licensed veterinarian. Your veterinarian can review available health records, examine the puppy and recommend appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition and future preventative care.
Does the 2-year health guarantee cover every illness?
No. A breeder health guarantee is not the same as pet insurance and does not mean a dog can never become ill or injured. Coverage is subject to the specific conditions, requirements and exclusions in the puppy's written health guarantee.
Teacup & Toy Maltipoo Size Questions
How big will my Maltipoo puppy get?
Each available puppy profile includes an estimated adult weight based on the information available to us. These estimates are not guarantees because genetics, nutrition and individual growth can all affect adult size.
What is the difference between a Teacup and Toy Maltipoo?
The terms are commonly used to describe smaller Maltipoos based on expected adult size. They are not separate breeds. Our puppy profiles include the size category we use for each puppy together with the estimated adult weight.
Can you guarantee a Maltipoo will stay under a specific weight?
No responsible breeder can guarantee an exact adult weight. Parent size and puppy development can provide a useful estimate, but an individual puppy may mature differently.
Can I see information about the parents?
Yes. Visit our Maltipoo Parents page to learn more about the dogs behind our puppies.
What Comes With a Little Clouds Maltipoo Puppy?
What does my puppy go home with?
Applicable puppy information may include health and vaccination records, age-appropriate deworming information, our 2-year health guarantee, current feeding information, early socialization and ongoing breeder support. Always refer to the individual puppy information for exact inclusions.
Are your puppies potty trained?
Our puppies begin an age-appropriate potty-training routine while they are with us. Because they are still young, families should expect to continue house training after the puppy moves into its new home.
Are the puppies socialized?
Our puppies are raised in our home around our children and family members and receive age-appropriate handling, interaction and exposure to normal household experiences.
Do you provide feeding information?
Yes. Families receive applicable information about what the puppy has been eating before going home so they can keep the transition as consistent as possible.
About Our Family Maltipoo Breeding Program
Are your puppies raised in a kennel?
Our puppies are raised in our family home around our children and family members. Our program is intentionally small rather than a high-volume breeding operation.
Are you a puppy mill?
No. Little Clouds Maltipoos is a small family-based breeding program. We do not continuously produce puppies and we breed only once every two years so we can focus on quality care rather than volume.
How often do you breed?
Our breeding program is intentionally limited and we breed once every two years.
Why do you breed so infrequently?
Our limited breeding schedule allows us to remain personally involved with our dogs and puppies and to focus on the care, socialization and preparation of each litter.
Where can I learn more about your breeding program?
Visit our About Us page to learn more about our family-raised approach and breeding philosophy.
Bringing Your Maltipoo Puppy Home
What should I buy before my puppy arrives?
Useful supplies include puppy food, food and water bowls, a crate, comfortable bed, collar or harness, leash, identification tag, safe toys, puppy pads, grooming tools and training treats.
Should I change my puppy's food immediately?
It is usually better to keep the puppy's diet consistent during the initial transition. If you want to change foods, discuss the change with your veterinarian and transition gradually.
What should the first day at home be like?
Keep your puppy's first day calm. Introduce a safe area, provide water, follow the puppy's normal feeding routine, establish a toilet area and allow plenty of time for rest and bonding.
When should puppy training begin?
Simple positive training can begin soon after your puppy arrives. Start with short sessions and basic routines such as responding to their name, coming when called, sit, crate introduction and house training.
Where can I read your full puppy care guide?
Visit our Bringing Your Puppy Home page for information about supplies, feeding, veterinary care, training, socialization, grooming and the first days at home.
